Advice on the proposed referendum on children’s rights

December 2006
Type: Advice

In giving this advice, it was the view of the OCO that changes must be made to Articles 40, 41 and 42 of the Constitution in order to provide for express protection of the rights of children in the Constitution.

We must be guided by the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child as regards both the approach to change and the wording to be proposed. Our advice on proposed changes was rooted in the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC). The referendum presented a real opportunity for the State to incorporate some of the key provisions of the CRC into the Constitution.
