Google with a new Doodle and a video today celebrates 20 World Children's Day, the rights of all children of the world.
The global community pledged to protect children's rights by adopting the Children's Rights Convention at 20 in November of 1989. Since then, 20 has been established in November as the World Children's Rights Day.
Today we live in a world where almost everyone agrees that anyone under the age of 18 is a child and has a right to special care and protection. But something like this did not happen in the past either. It was only after November 20, 1989, when the United Nations General Assembly adopted the Convention on the Rights of the Child, that humanity began to benefit from a set of rights for all children and the young people.
The Convention on the Rights of the Child is the first globally legally binding codes for the rights that all children should enjoy. It lays down basic principles for the well-being of children at various stages of their development and consists of 54 articles.
The Convention was initiated by Poland governments and hers UNICEF, was adopted unanimously by the UN General Assembly on 20 November 1989 and entered into force in 1990.
To date, it has been validated by almost all countries of the world, while in Greece 1992 has been ratified (Government Gazette 192 / 2.12.92).
