Convention on the Rights of the Child
As with all peoples, children have human rights across the full spectrum of civil, cultural, economic, political and social rights. Because children are recognised as having particular inherent needs and dependencies, they also have particular rights. The Holy See ratified the Convention on the Rights of the Child in November 1990, along with most of the other nations of the world, including the Commonwealth of Australia. The Parish of St James Muswellbrook supports the particular rights and protections afforded children under the Convention on the Rights of the Child.
