Paragraph text
Article 12 of the Convention on the Rights of the Child guarantees the child's right to be heard and to have his or her views taken into account. By requiring not only that children be given the opportunity to express their views in all matters affecting them but also that those views be given due weight, the Convention seeks to ensure that children's participation is meaningful.
