Implementing child rights in early childhood 2006, para. 36c | Aug 19, 2019 | Paragraph | Committee on the Rights of the Child | Non-negotiated soft law | General Comment / Recommendation | Refugees (art. 22). Young children who are refugees are most likely to be disoriented, having lost much that is familiar in their everyday surroundings and relationships. They and their parents are entitled to equal access to health care, education and other services. Children who are unaccompanied or separated from their families are especially at risk. The Committee offers detailed guidance on the care and protection of these children in general comment No. 6 (2005) on the treatment of unaccompanied and separated children outside their country of origin; |

The right of the child to protection from corporal punishment and other cruel and degrading forms of punishment 2006, para. 4 | Aug 19, 2019 | Paragraph | Committee on the Rights of the Child | Non-negotiated soft law | General Comment / Recommendation | The Committee has, from its earliest sessions, paid special attention to asserting children's right to protection from all forms of violence. In its examination of States parties' reports, and most recently in the context of the United Nations Secretary-General's study on violence against children, it has noted with great concern the widespread legality and persisting social approval of corporal punishment and other cruel or degrading punishment of children. Already in 1993, the Committee noted in the report of its fourth session that it "recognized the importance of the question of corporal punishment in improving the system of promotion and protection of the rights of the child and decided to continue to devote attention to it in the process of examining States parties' reports". |

The right of the child to rest, leisure, play, recreational activities, cultural life and the arts 2013, para. 46 | Aug 19, 2019 | Paragraph | Committee on the Rights of the Child | Non-negotiated soft law | General Comment / Recommendation | [However, the Committee is concerned at the growing body of evidence indicating the extent to which these environments, as well as the amounts of time children spend interacting with them, can also contribute to significant potential risk and harm to children. For example:] Much of the media, particularly mainstream television, fail to reflect the language, cultural values and creativity of the diversity of cultures that exist across society. Not only does such monocultural viewing limit opportunities for all children to benefit from the potential breadth of cultural activity available, but it can also serve to affirm a lower value on non-mainstream cultures. Television is also contributing to the loss of many childhood games, songs, rhymes traditionally transmitted from generation to generation on the street and in the playground; |
