Young activists do the talking as UN marks World Children’s Day
Children were both seen and heard in the UN General Assembly on Wednesday, World Children’s Day, during a celebration to commemorate 30 years since the adoption of a milestone treaty that protects their rights.
The ceremony was among numerous events this year taking stock of progress achieved under the landmark Convention on the Rights of the Child.
