SRSG on violence against children: Annual report 2013, para. 104
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- Young people have also been crucial partners in the campaign for the universal ratification of the Optional Protocols to the Convention on the Rights of the Child. In MERCOSUR, the June 2013 session of Ministers of Foreign Affairs and High Authorities on Human Rights included a meeting devoted to the Optional Protocol on a communications procedure, with the participation of a young Salvadoran, representing the Latin America Network of Children and Adolescents. In his address, he emphasized the crucial value of the Protocol to young people. Recognizing its special relevance for child victims of human rights violations, who desperately need to have access to justice and effective and safe remedies, he called on all States to speed up the ratification of the Protocol and to consolidate the protection of children's rights in the region.
