The right of the child to freedom of expression 2014, para. 19
Paragraph
Paragraph text
The child also has the right to receive information and ideas of all kinds. The Committee on the Rights of the Child does not often refer to this provision in its concluding observations and recommendations. The only emerging principles are that measures must be taken to acquaint children with different cultures, that the media must help children to learn about other civilizations and that steps should be taken to encourage the publication, dissemination and availability of children's literature to all children.
