A group of children will supervise the implementation of the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) in Moldova. The Child Rights Information and Documentation Center announces a contest to choose the children that will form part of the monitoring group, Info-Prim Neo reports. According to the center, the children can very well tell how their rights are observed because they speak about their own and their peers’ experience. This helps the decision makers to better understand the situation of the children. The working group will have to present children’s opinions about the observance of the rights stipulated in the CRC to different members of the society. By its activity, the working group will provide the children the possibility of communicating and pronouncing on different aspects related to their rights. The group will inform the public, the governmental structures, the civil society, and the diplomatic missions about how the CRC is observed and about the actions that must be taken to improve the situation. The group will be composed of 25 children aged between 11 and 15 that will be ready to monitor how the CRC is put into practice in Moldova. The group will work for two years. Each year, it will hold four informative and working meetings by 3-4 days each (during the school vacation). In the period between the meetings, the members of the working group will have to carry out such tasks as to inform their peers, to analyze the situation in their own communities, to meet the local elected authorities and officials in charge of the observance of the CRC, etc. Any girl or boy aged 11-15 that wants to contribute to the observance of the rights of the children in their communities can become part of the group. Those that want can file the dossiers to the Child Rights Information and Documentation Center by May 20, 2008. The dossier must contain a motivation letter, a letter of support from a group of peers and information about the situation of the rights of the child in the applicant’s community. The Convention on the Rights of the Child is an international treaty adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in 1989 with the aim or protecting and promoting the rights of the children from the whole world. Moldova ratified the Convention that took effect in our country in 1993.
