What will happen to the findings from the consultations?
General Comment No. 26
The findings will help the Committee to revise the draft General Comment No. 26, to make sure the final version reflects stakeholder’s views and ideas as best as possible, including the views of children and young people. A child-friendly version of the final General Comment No. 26 will also be available.
The findings from the consultations with children and young people will also be used to create a Children’s Global Charter, an inspirational message from children around the world on their vision for a safe, healthy and sustainable world that respects their rights. This will be made up of children’s own words and artwork and be launched alongside General Comment No. 26 to raise awareness of why it is so important for children.
