The Convention protects children's rights by establishing standards in health care, education and legal, civil and social services, and defines the goals and efforts of the international community in the field of children's work.
The Convention stipulates that States parties shall ensure that all children enjoy all the rights stipulated in the Convention, and shall not be discriminated against because of their race, color, sex, language, religion, political status, origin, property or disability. The State party should take all appropriate legislative and administrative measures to ensure the well-being of children. All relevant departments and institutions take the maximization of children's interests as the primary consideration when formulating and implementing relevant policies.
The Convention on the Rights of the Child contains a set of universally agreed norms and obligations, placing children at the center in the pursuit of a just, mutually respectful and peaceful society. Based on different legal systems and cultural traditions, the Convention is a set of universally accepted and non-negotiable standards and obligations. These basic standards, also known as human rights, stipulate the minimum rights and freedoms that the government should respect. These standards are based on respect for everyone's dignity and value, regardless of race, color, sex, language, religion, views, origin, wealth, origin or ability, so these standards are applicable to anyone anywhere. These rights are accompanied by the obligation of the government and individuals not to infringe on the equal rights of others. These standards are interdependent and inseparable; We can't ignore some rights or guarantee others at the expense of some rights.
