Thirdly, there will be deliberations on changes in policies and programs for better results by incorporating the voices of children in consonance with the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child recognizing the Right of Participation of children relating to decisions affecting them. In most countries, this right exists mostly on paper and children are rarely involved in any law, policy decision, scheme, etc. affecting them. CLICK
