PDF
AuthorDepartment of Foreign Affairs
AbstractOn 30 September 1990, Ireland signed the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. The Convention was subsequently ratified by Ireland on 21 September 1992, the document of ratification being deposited with the Secretary-General of the United Nations. Ireland showed its commitment to the aims of the Convention by ratifying without any reservation whatsoever. The Convention entered into force for Ireland on 21 October 1992. This report has been prepared pursuant to Ireland's obligation under article 44 to present periodic reports to the United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child on the protection afforded under Irish law to the rights guaranteed by the Convention. This is Ireland's first national report under the Convention. It was coordinated by the Human Rights Unit in the Political Division of the Department of Foreign Affairs, in cooperation with all government departments that deal with child related matters. Report is made under the following headings: General measures of implementation; definition of the child; general principles; civil rights and freedoms; family environment and alternative care; basic health and welfare; education, leisure and cultural activities; special protection measures; consultation with the NGO sector.
