What is our mission ?
The IBCR’s mission is to contribute to the promotion and respect of the Convention on the Rights of the Child, an international legal instrument adopted by the UN in 1989 and now ratified by 192 countries.
Our vision…
It was the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) that led to the creation of the IBCR. The principles enshrined in the CRC and its optional protocols continue to guide the IBCR in its rights-based approach.
The IBCR’s work is also guided by the targets set by the international community, including the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) adopted by the United Nations Millennium Summit (2000) and the 21 specific objectives for the next decade contained in the document A World Fit for Children and adopted by more than 180 countries as a result of the United Nations General Assembly Special Session on Children (2002).
The IBCR is convinced that the implementation of the rights of children can be facilitated through the sharing of knowledge and good practices, as well as developing strategic partnerships, which will have a real impact on the implementation of the rights of the child. The IBCR seeks partnerships with those committed to assuring the implementation of the CRC including intergovernmental bodies, international, regional and local NGOs and others that are also concerned by the rights and the dignity of all the children in the world.
