Traduction de «special session on children » (Anglais → Français) :

In 1990, Canada co-hosted the first World Summit for Children. From 1999 to 2002, it played an important role in preparation for the UN General Assembly Special Session on Children, successfully negotiating text surrounding key issues such as war-affected children, Aboriginal children, and child participation.[4] Today, the Convention is the most widely subscribed to international treaty in history, ratified by 192 nations.[5]

The government recognizes the importance of children’s rights in Canada, as illustrated in the recent publication of Canada’s 2004 Plan of Action, A Canada Fit for Children,[26] in response to the May 2002 United Nations Special Session on Children.

It's a very nicely put together document because it contains not only A World Fit for Children , which was a negotiated document from the Special Session on Children, but also “A World Fit for Us”, the children's statement to the special session, which they wrote themselves.

Two young participants from that conference attended the special session with CIDA funding. There were two panels on the issue during the special session itself, as well as an intergenerational dialogue with war-affected children.

Then at the special session, Canada sponsored and took part in an important workshop entitled " Preventing Discrimination against Children; Ensuring Inclusion of All Children" .

* There is a decrease in the number of proposals concerning children and young people (28% compared to 35% in 2000). This can be understood by two factors: i) the call gave the possibility to specifically submit proposals for topics related to child sexual exploitation and paedophilia under the B5-804 budget line and ii) probably quite a number of organisations were busy preparing for both the "2nd World Congress against Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children" in Yokohama in December 2001 and for the postponed UN Special Session on Children scheduled for September 2001, leaving them little time to prepare and submit new proposals.
