Abstract

Children have been given the special status and legal protection within the United Nations framework and in regional human rights treaties due to their vulnerability. They enjoy the same human rights and fundamental freedoms as all individuals. The International legal framework for the protection of children assures the positive obligations for the states to ensure the safeguarding and protection of rights of children. United Nations affirms the ‘Best Interests of Child’ principle in letter and spirit with an aspiration that international community will pave a path to sensitise the domestic justice delivery justice system of the states and to move in sync with International legal frameworks for the protection of Child Rights. The Beijing Rules of 1985, United Nations Convention on the protection of child rights 1989, Havana Rules and Riyadh Guidelines of 1990 etc. comprehensively forms this International Legal Framework with the aim and responsibility to protect the most vulnerable community of our society i.e. Children.
