Written Opinion

Dear Children Rights Advocates,

The advocacy of human rights begins with the advocacy of child rights. 

The World Children Delegacy will be run by child members and child rights rapporteurs of the countries. For that purpose, we are planning to take the opinions of children and adults world wide in the period between January and December 2020. At the end of that period, a governance model will be established, children and adults that will be acting on behalf of the countries will be selected and commissioners of the World Children Delegacy will have been set. 

Along with your opinions and advices for the sake of World Children Delegacy, we think that duties will be fulfilled for children with children. Open end questions prepared to that end is provided below. 

With the hopes of fulfilling the duties of World Children Delegacy…

    First Question

    Do you think this definition is sufficient? If not, can you please state your opinions

    Some of the basic principles proposed for the World Children Delegation are as follow:

    1. Every child is a natural member of the World Children Embassy.
    2. In every child-related duty, child opinion is the most essential.
    3. Advocacy of “human” rights starts with the advocacy of “child” rights.
    4. Child-related duty and tasks are undertaken on the basis of human rights and respect for human dignity.
    5. Against the abuses of rights, Universal Declaration of Human Rights, UN Child Rights Convention, European Convention on the Exercise of Children’s Rights and all other international children rights documents are taken into consideration.
    6. The guiding principle of World Children Delegacy is “volunteering”.
    7. World Children Delegacy is not a representative or part of any state, non-governmental organization or commercial structure. Delegacy has an independent, objective and supra-institutional identity.
