The Chisinau-based Child Rights Centre (CRC) is one of the eight co-founding members of the International Network of Child Law Centres (INCLC), Info-Prim Neo reports. The Network was recently opened at the Centre for Child Law at the University of Pretoria (South Africa). The Network, representing children’s rights organisations around the world that are using the law to protect and promote children’s rights, provides a forum to discuss major issues, obstacles, challenges and opportunities in child rights law around the globe. The goals of the network are to share and develop strategic approaches and innovative ideas to promote implementation of children’s rights, both through advocacy and representation in individual cases and through broader legislative reform. Members of the INCLC will be able to access resources and draw support and advice through the newly-launched website and members’ forum on www.crplanet.org. The Chisinau-based Child Rights Centre was founded in 2006 by a group of lawyers and experts working in the field of child law, at the initiative and with the support of the Centre for Child Law (United Kingdom). The CRC primarily provides direct representation of children and young people in court proceedings and before state bodies in situations in which children are likely to be removed from home or where a case raises issues of human rights.
