Paragraph
Paragraph text
The Convention on the Rights of the Child requires Governments to ensure that children are able to exercise their right to freedom of expression (art. 13). The Special Rapporteur considers that freedom of expression is the primary channel for participation and serves as a mechanism for inclusion; this right is therefore necessarily linked to the recognition of and respect for human dignity from childhood onward.
