Abstract

UNESCO has adopted three principal international bioethics declarations with the purpose to protect »the inherent dignity of the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family«. Children are a particularly sensitive category of the »human family« whose rights were attempted to be protected through declarations, directly or indirectly, starting with the Universal Declarations on Human Rights. It has been twenty years since adopting the »Convention on the Rights of the Child« by the UN (20 November 1989). Th is paper shall look into the basic rights of the child in accordance with UNESCO’s documents.
