Protection of Children's Rights in Areas of Civil Unrest 2010

Abstract

From Foreword: The National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (‘NCPCR’ or ‘Commission’) has been monitoring the situation of children affected by, and in many instances displaced by, political instability and violence. This policy document on “Protection of Children’s Rights in Areas of Civil Unrest” lays down guidelines and recommendations that, if implemented, would serve to make children in these areas safer and less deprived. The guidelines and recommendations are addressed to different ministries and State Government departments that deal, directly or indirectly, with civil unrest or children’s rights and welfare.
