    DECLARATION OF THE RIGHTS OF THE

    CHILD [Proclaimed by General Assembly


    Resolution 1386(XIV) of 20 November 1959.
    This was the basis of the basis of the
    Convention of the Rights of the Child
    adopted by the UN General Assembly 30
    years later on 20 November 1989. The
    Convention on the Rights of the Child was
    entered into force on 2 September 1990. ]
    Principle 1 The child shall enjoy all the
    rights set forth in this Declaration. Every child, without any exception
    whatsoever, shall be entitled to these rights, without distinction or
    discrimination on account of race, color, sex, language, religion, political or
    other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status, whether
    of himself or of his family.
    Principle 2 The child shall enjoy special protection, and shall be given
    opportunities and facilities, by law and by other means, to enable him to
    develop physically, mentally, morally, spiritually and socially in a healthy and
    normal manner and in conditions of freedom and dignity. In the enactment of
    laws for this purpose, the best interests of the child shall be the paramount
    consideration.
    Principle 3 The child shall be entitled from his birth to a name and a
    nationality.
    Principle 4 The child shall enjoy the benefits of social security. He shall be
    entitled to grow and develop in health; to this end, special care and protection
    shall be provided both to him and to his mother, including adequate pre-natal
    and post-natal care. The child shall have the right to adequate nutrition,
    housing, recreation and medical services.
    Principle 5 The child who is physically, mentally or socially handicapped shall
    be given the special treatment, education and care required by his particular
    condition.
    Principle 6 The child, for the full and harmonious development of his
    personality, needs love and understanding. He shall, wherever possible, grow
    up in the care and under the responsibility of his parents, and, in any case, in
    an atmosphere of affection and of moral and material security; a child of
    tender years shall not, save in exceptional circumstances, be separated from
    his mother. Society and the public authorities shall have the duty to extend
    particular care to children without a family and to those without adequate
    means of support. Payment of State and other assistance towards the
    maintenance of children of large families is desirable.
    Principle 7 The child is entitled to receive education, which shall be free and
    compulsory, at least in the elementary stages. He shall be given an education
    which will promote his general culture and enable him, on a basis of equal
    opportunity, to develop his abilities, his individual judgement, and his sense of
    moral and social responsibility, and to become a useful member of society.
    The best interests of the child shall be the guiding principle of those
    responsible for his education and guidance; that responsibility lies in the first
    place with his parents.
    The child shall have full opportunity for play and recreation, which should be
    directed to the same purposes as education; society and the public authorities
    shall endeavor to promote the enjoyment of this right.
    Principle 8 The child shall in all circumstances be among the first to receive
    protection and relief.
    Principle 9 The child shall be protected against all forms of neglect, cruelty and
    exploitation. He shall not be the subject of traffic, in any form.
    The child shall not be admitted to employment before an appropriate
    minimum age; he shall in no case be caused or permitted to engage in any
    occupation or employment which would prejudice his health or education, or
    interfere with his physical, mental or moral development.
    Principle 10 The child shall be protected from practices which may foster
    racial, religious and any other form of discrimination. He shall be brought up in
    a spirit of understanding, tolerance, friendship among peoples, peace and
    universal brotherhood, and in full consciousness that his energy and talents
    should be devoted to the service of his fellow
