Effective Implementation of the OPSC 2010, para. 61

- Accordingly, most cases are settled amicably, between the victim's family and the perpetrator, without taking into account the views of the victim. The perpetrators thus get away with making amends in cash or in kind, or by marrying the victim (reparatory marriage).

Paragraph
Comprehensive child protection systems 2011, para. 31a
- Paragraph text
- [With regard to prevention, comprehensive legal frameworks should:] Ensure children's birth is registered. A birth record, because it certifies a child's age, allows appropriate legal steps to be taken to ensure the protection of the child and the punishment of the offender. Children whose birth has been registered are less likely to be sold or illegally adopted, in part because they have proof of who their parents are;

Paragraph
Child participation 2012, para. 14
- Paragraph text
- While the Convention on the Rights of the Child does not explicitly include a right to participation, it contains a cluster of articles considered to be "participation articles". The term "participation" has been adopted by the Committee on the Rights of the Child and the wider child rights community to describe the realization of the rights enshrined in those articles. Article 12 of the Convention states that every child capable of forming views has the right to express those views freely in all matters affecting him or her and that those views must be given due weight in accordance with the child's age and maturity. This is not only a fundamental right, but also a guiding principle of the Convention. Article 5 points out that, when providing direction and guidance in the exercise by children of their rights, parents and other guardians must take into consideration the evolving capacities of children. Articles 13 to 17 further address the child's right to freedom of expression, thought, conscience, religion, association, peaceful assembly, protection of privacy and access to information and material.

Paragraph
Joint report with SRSG Violence against Children on child-sensitive complaint mechanisms 2011, para. 38
- Paragraph text
- Where the right to seek a judicial remedy is limited to older children, younger children may turn to administrative bodies, which may initiate legal proceedings if they consider it appropriate. In Ecuador, for example, where children over the age of 12 "may personally take legal action for the protection of their rights", younger children may request assistance to protect their rights when action concerning their legal guardian is needed. In the Russian Federation and Belarus, children of any age may make complaints to the competent administrative authorities concerning parents or other persons acting in loco parentis.
