Paragraph
Paragraph text
The partnership with the Committee on the Rights of the Child has been particularly strategic, including in encouraging the universal ratification and effective implementation of international children's rights treaties, promoting advocacy and law reform on violence prevention and elimination, and establishing safe and child-sensitive counselling, reporting and complaint mechanisms to address incidents of violence. The Committee's adoption of a general comment on the right of the child to freedom from violence opens new avenues for strategic cooperation.
