"We were all children once. And we all
share the desire for the well-being of our children, which has always been and
will continue to be the most universally cherished aspiration of
humankind."

By resolution
836(IX) of 14 December 1954,
the General Assembly recommended that all countries institute a Universal
Children's Day, to be observed as a day of worldwide fraternity and
understanding between children. It recommended that the Day was to be observed
also as a day of activity devoted to promoting the ideals and objectives of the
Charter and the welfare of the children of the world. The Assembly suggested to
governments that the Day be observed on the date and in the way which each
considers appropriate. The date 20 November,
marks the day on which the Assembly adopted the Declaration
of the Rights of the Child, in 1959, and the Convention on the Rights of
the Child, in 1989.
Nearly
25 years ago, the world made a promise to children: that we would do everything
in our power to protect and promote their rights to survive and thrive, to
learn and grow, to make their voices heard and to reach their full potential.
In spite of the overall gains, there are many children who have fallen even
further behind. Old challenges have combined with new problems to deprive many
children of their rights and the benefits of development.
To
meet these challenges, and to reach those children who are hardest to reach, we
need new ways of thinking and new ways of doing - for adults and children.
There
is much to celebrate as we mark the 25th anniversary of the Convention, from
declining infant mortality to rising school enrolment, but this historic
milestone must also serve as an urgent reminder that much remains to be done.
Too many children still do not enjoy their full rights on par with their peers.

Universal
Children's Day
-- 20 November is celebrated as the
international day for children. The United Nations General Assembly recommended
in 1954 (resolution 836 (IX)) that all countries institute a Universal
Children's Day, to be observed as a day of understanding between children and
of activity promoting the welfare of the world's children. The date of 20
November marks the day on which the Assembly adopted the Declaration of the
Rights of the Child, in 1959, and the Convention on the Rights of the Child
(CRC), in 1989. Universal Children's Day 2015 marks the 25th anniversary of the
CRC!
During
the 25 years since the Convention on the Rights of the Child was adopted, the
world has taken action in every region and virtually every nation on earth. The
mandate has produced significant results, helping to save and transform the
lives of millions of children. Yet we cannot claim that children’s rights are
being upheld when 17,000 children under the age of 5 die every day largely from
preventable causes, when girls are kept home while their brothers go to school,
or where mothers living in a remote community cannot access a simple
vaccination for their children. We have a responsibility to find new ways of
tackling the challenges not yet overcome, to reach the children not yet reached
and to put equity and children’s rights at the centre of an agenda for action
for all children.
