Children's rights and the UN SDGs

Published: Nov. 20, 2019, 7 a.m.

b'The United Nations (UN) 2030 Agenda for sustainable development includes a strong commitment by all states to respect human rights. This covers the rights of the child. No action to implement the SDGs can be detrimental to the rights of the child. Healthy, well-nourished, well-educated children, who are protected from violence and abuse, are the best guarantee of long-term sustainable development. The EU prioritises children\'s rights and relevant SDGs in its external action. The European Parliament has repeatedly defended the need to protect and promote children\'s rights through EU external action, and has asked the Commission to propose a strategy and action plan in this sense.
