General Measures of the Convention on the Rights of the Child The Process in Europe and Central Asia

This publication examines the reporting process for implementation of the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), addressing four general measures: law reform, national independent institutions for children's rights, national co-ordinating mechanisms, and monitoring implementation of the CRC. The general measures of implementation are cross-cutting measures which extend to all rights set out in the CRC and which form the framework upon which specific rights are based. This study reviews implementation in countries that have submitted two reports to the Committee on CRC implementation, and the review is based primarily on the reports of States Parties to the Committee and other documents generated as part of the CRC reporting process, supplemented in some cases by information received from UNICEF field offices and expert opinions.UNICEF: Innocenti Research Centre is the author of 'General Measures of the Convention on the Rights of the Child The Process in Europe and Central Asia', published 2006 under ISBN 9788889129425 and ISBN 8889129425.
