GENEVA (AN) — A landmark human rights treaty that turns 30 years old this week has helped make children healthier today but they still face new threats such as climate change and online abuse, UNICEF said in a new study on Monday.
The U.N. children's agency said its study found the U.N. Convention on the Rights of the Child, or CRC, first adopted on November 20, 1989, has helped increasing numbers of children to live longer, better and healthier lives, but the poorest and most vulnerable among them face long odds at such improvement.
