4. THE C.R.C. The INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION ON THE RIGHTS OF THE CHILD.
The United Nations General Assembly adopted the Convention on the Rights of the
Child (CRC) in 1989.
It is important to understand, however, that this Convention did
not emerge out of the blue. Different declarations, covenants and statutes paved the
way for the Convention on the Rights of the Child.
The first major step in the recognition of children’s rights was taken in 1924 when The
League of Nations (https://www.history.com/topics/world- war-i/league-of-nations)
adopted the Geneva Declaration on the Rights of the Child.
(https://historyofrights.ca/wp-content/uploads/statutes/UN_Child.pdf).
The CRC is the most widely and rapidly ratified human rights
treaty in history; in fact all countries on earth, with the
exception of only one, are State Parties to this Convention.

20. THE I.L.O CONVENTION. C182 - Worst Forms of Child
Labour 1999 (No. 182)
Article 3
For the purposes of this Convention, the term the worst forms of
child labour comprises:
(a) all forms of slavery or practices similar to slavery, such as the
sale and trafficking of children, debt bondage and serfdom and
forced or compulsory labour, including forced or compulsory
recruitment of children for use in armed conflict;
(b) the use, procuring or offering of a child for prostitution, for the
production of pornography or for pornographic performances;
(c) the use, procuring or offering of a child for illicit activities, in
particular for the production and trafficking of drugs as defined in
the relevant international treaties;
(d) work which, by its nature or the circumstances in which it is
carried out, is likely to harm the health, safety or morals of
children.

21. Article 6 1. Each Member shall design and implement
programmes of action to eliminate as a priority the worst forms
of child labour.
2. Such programmes of action shall be designed and
implemented in consultation with relevant government
institutions and employers' and workers' organizations, taking
into consideration the views of other concerned groups as
appropriate.
2. Each Member shall, taking into account the importance of education in
eliminating child labour, take effective and time-bound measures to:
(a) prevent the engagement of children in the worst forms of child labour;
(b) provide the necessary and appropriate direct assistance for the

22. LASTLY: 1980 HAGUE CHILD ABDUCTION CONVENTION
The Convention of 25 October 1980 on the Civil Aspects of International
Child Abduction
The purpose of the 1980 Hague Convention is to return abducted children
forthwith to their country of habitual residence, through the cooperation of
authorities established in each of the signatory states and their judiciaries. 40
years on from its inception, the 1980 Hague Convention remains the principal
source of relief for parents seeking the return of an abducted child from
another member state.
In 1980, an international group of legislators of the Hague permanent bureau
of private international law finalised the details of a multilateral treaty aimed
at deterring International Parental Child Abductions.This was the inception of
the 1980 Hague Convention. Predictions made with respect to trends in cross
border relationships and ease of international travel have become more valid
over time. We have also seen the typical demographics and circumstances of
an abduction shift over time, so that now most abductions occur by a primary
caregiver seeking to return to their country of origin.

23. LASTLY: 1980 HAGUE CHILD ABDUCTION CONVENTION
The Convention of 25 October 1980 on the Civil Aspects of International
Child Abduction
Separation between a parent and a child can have lasting
impacts on the wellbeing of the children in the centre of
international parental child abductions, and THE LAW
recognises the importance of supporting families while they
resolve their parenting dispute.

24. 1980 HAGUE CHILD ABDUCTION CONVENTION
The 1980 Hague Convention has contributed to resolving
thousands of abduction cases and has served as a deterrent to
many others through the clarity of its message (abduction is
harmful to children, who have a right to contact with both
parents) and through the simplicity of its central remedy (the
return order). With currently more than 90 Contracting States,
the 1980 Hague Convention can be viewed as one of the most
successful family law instruments to be completed under the
auspices of the Hague Conference on Private International Law.

25. The operation of the 1980 Hague Convention has been
further strengthened by complementing provisions in the
Convention of 19 October 1996 on Jurisdiction,
Applicable Law, Recognition, Enforcement and Co-
operation in Respect of Parental Responsibility and
Measures for the Protection of Children.
The Child Abduction Section on the website of the Hague
Conference contains the latest information about the
status of the 1980 Convention, and the contact details of
Central Authorities. For this, and much more information
about the 1980 Convention, see < www.hcch.net >.
