Paragraph
Paragraph text
In its periodic reviews, the Committee on the Rights of the Child has linked the rights to life, survival and development to the right to adequate housing and to protection of children from evictions, particularly if they may lead to homelessness (see CRC/C/IDN/CO/3-4). The Committee has also addressed the particular vulnerability to violations of the right to life and the high suicide rate of children in street situations (see CRC/C/FJI/CO/2-4). The Committee has identified the right to life as a key provision in the draft general comment on children in street situations.
