Children's rights
Set of rules of international law aimed at protecting people of a certain age: the childhood. This is regarded as a stage in which the physical and mental development has not reached its fullness and therefore needs special protection.
The first manifestation that takes position on this is the Geneva Declaration on the Rights of the Child in 1924. Historically, there have been four statements about the international rights of this group.
1924 Geneva Declaration on the Rights of the Child.
Declaration of the Rights of the Child of November 20, 1959.
Universal Declaration of Human Rights of 1948. Although not explicitly, implicitly reference itself is made.
International Convention on the Rights of the Child, 1989.
