Twenty-five years of the Convention on the Rights of the Child : is the World a better place for children?

This publication is a collection of essays and viewpoints marking the 25th anniversary of the Convention on the Rights of the Child. There is much to celebrate since the Convention was adopted in 1989, from declining infant mortality to rising school enrolment. But this milestone must serve as an urgent reminder of the millions of children not yet reached and an opportunity to find new ways of reaching them.
