The Declaration of the Rights of Child, 1959
Declaration of the Rights of the Child, 1959 was adopted by the United Nations General Assembly. The rights of the children were defined for the first time by the Declaration of the Rights of Child, 1959. The Declaration was drafted by Eglantyne Jebb and is also known as the Geneva Declaration of the Rights of the Child. The Declaration is a document that consists of the rights of children. It was first adopted in 1924 by the League of Nations and then in 1959 by the United Nations. The Declaration includes the following rights:
The child must be provided all those means which are essential for their normal development.
If a child is found to be hungry or sick then the child must be fed and nursed.
If a child is backward or delinquent then the child must be helped and recovered.
In case the child is an orphan or abandoned then shelter should be provided to the child.
In times of distress, relief must be provided to children first.
The children must be protected from every kind of exploitation when they are put in a position to earn a livelihood.
The children must be made conscious of the fact that the talent they possess should be devoted to the service of their fellow men.
This document was endorsed by the League of Nations General Assembly in 1924 as the World Child Welfare Charter. It was reaffirmed in 1934 by the League of Nations General Assembly
