‘The PSD has continuously and steadily acted all along these 20 years by drawing up and perfecting policies and programmes that benefit children and it supported preponderantly children in distress,’ Plumb says in a press release. Romania was among the first world countries to ratify the convention, on September 28, 1990.
The convention on the rights of the child is a legal instrument unequivocally defining the responsibilities of national governments towards children, and its 20th anniversary challenges the world’s national governments again to observe and consolidate their commitments to children.
‘It is important that each parent and each person interacting with children know and follow the provisions of this convention. It is also important that we all understand and be especially responsible to our children, who are our future,’ the release quotes state secretary with the National Child Protection Authority Ileana Savu as saying.
The release points out that the PSD Government drew up and approved Law no. 272 concerning the protection and promotion of the children’s rights in 2004, a law that was commended in Europe and elsewhere in the world.
Under this law, the same as in all the PSD projects for children, combating disparities and inequalities of all sorts that affect children is promoted, along with providing equal opportunities to quality education for all children and well-being that secures them harmonious development, their protection against any kinds of negative discrimination, the rights of the children to voice their opinion on matters that concern them, and protect the children against any kind of violence (trafficking, exploitation, kidnapping), reads the release.
