  • The children are not toys, they are people

    The children are not toys, they are people


    On November 20 is the recurrent anniversary of acceptation of the
    UNO's Convention for `Children's rights'.

    The convention has been passed by the General Assembly of the UNO on
    November 20 in 1989 by the resolution 44/25 and is open for signing,
    for ratification and for joining it.

    The Assembly being concerned with the issue that in many countries the
    conditions of the children are critical, called for all the countries
    to join the convention, taking into consideration the bad social
    conditions, disasters, military conflicts, exploitation, illiteracy,
    hunger and illnesses the children face in the whole world.

    Each year the UNO suggests the organizations, intergovernmental and
    non governmental institutions to activate their efforts in spreading
    more information about the Convention in order to promote the
    understanding of it.

    Armenia as well is a member of that Convention and yesterday too in
    Armenia was celebrated the day of passing the Convention.

    On that occasion Hovhannes Tamamyan, the Chief of the Police
    Department's Criminal Investigations Division, said that `The
    teenagers should be informed about their rights and duties and many
    works should be carried out.'

    On the occasion of the anniversary of the Convention for `Children's
    rights' the Junior fund of the UNO organized the exhibition of Vigen
    Mnoyan called `The children are not toys' in the National Assembly of
    Armenia. At the evening the children's choir gave a concert.
