NEW YORK, USA, 19 November 2009 On the eve of the 20th anniversary of the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), UNICEF today launches a special edition of its flagship report, The State of the Worlds Children, focusing on the ground-breaking human rights covenant for children.
UNICEF Executive Director Ann M. Veneman, Goodwill Ambassador and actor Lucy Liu, and Grace Akallo, a former child soldier, are discussing the special edition at a UNICEF headquarters event where the agencys annual publication is being released.
The State of the Worlds Children this year explores the difference that the CRC has made in the lives of children over the past two decades and the role it can play in an increasingly populous, urbanized, disparate and environmentally challenged world.
