Which of the above is/are the Rights of the child?
Explanation
The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC), adopted in 1989, is a comprehensive human rights treaty that recognizes the full range of rights for children. The Convention outlines four broad categories of rights for children:- Survival Rights include the child’s right to life, adequate nutrition, healthcare, and a standard of living adequate for development. Development Rights encompass the right to education, access to information, and opportunities for personal, cultural, and social development. Participation Rights include the child’s right to freedom of expression, thought, association, and participation in decisions affecting their lives. Protection Rights safeguard children from exploitation, abuse, and harm. The Right to Recreation is included under development rights, while the Right to Expression falls under participation rights. Together, all three options: development, expression, and recreation are recognized as rights of the child under the UNCRC.
