The International Bureau of Children's Rights is
publishing a report summarising the views, facts and recommendations expressed by a
wide array of distinguished children's rights specialists who spoke at a conference
organised by the IBCR last November to celebrate the 15th anniversary of the
adoption of the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC).

The report, entitled "Making Children's Rights Work: National and International
Perspectives" is a concise analysis of the implementation of the CRC, with experts
weighing in on the progress being made in children's rights on the national and
international fronts.

Chapters in the report include Where are we now? Children's Rights and the Justice
System, Child Trafficking and Justice for Child Victims and Witnesses of Crime, and
feature important observations by professionals such as professor Xin Ren on the
phenomenon of child trafficking in Asia and the Pacific, Mr. Toshiyuki Niwa, Deputy
Executive Director of UNICEF, on the integral role of UNICEF in the adoption and
implementation of the CRC, and the Honourable Irwin Cotler, Canadian Minister of
Justice, on the actions being taken by the federal government to protect children's
rights.[Spource: CRIN]
