2009 marks the 20th anniversary of Universal Children's Day. The Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) is the most widely ratified human rights treaty in the world.20 November is celebrated as the international day for children. The United Nations General Assembly recommended in 1954 (resolution 836 (IX)) that all countries institute a Universal Children's Day, to be observed as a day of understanding between children and of activity promoting the welfare of the world's children. The date of 20 November marks the day on which the Assembly adopted the Declaration of the Rights of the Child in 1959 and the Convention on the Rights of the Child in 1989.
For that day, all partner schools created videos where children say the rights they voted in their language. Each school picked up one of the seven rights to draw it and sent it to their partners. In that way all partners hold the same drawings in the videos, the drawings of their friends! Children have rights and we all agree to that, watch our common video:
