A world fit for children 2002, para. 2

Paragraph
Paragraph text
Since then, much progress has been made, as documented in the report of the Secretary-General entitled “We the Children”. Millions of young lives have been saved, more children than ever are in school, more children are actively involved in decisions concerning their lives and important treaties have been concluded to protect children. However, these achievements and gains have been uneven, and many obstacles remain, particularly in developing countries. A brighter future for all children has proved elusive, and overall gains have fallen short of national obligations and international commitments.
