Nigeria failed to submit report on status of Convention on Rights for 13 years, says UNICEF | The Guardian Nigeria News - Nigeria and World News ⬇️
The Committee on the Rights of the Child is the body of 18 independent experts that monitors implementation of the Convention on the Rights of the Child by its States parties and all states parties are obliged to submit regular reports to the Committee on how the rights of children are being implemented.
He said: “The CRA act is about safeguarding the rights of those who are seldom heard—the vulnerable children.
According to him, this deficiency severely hampers the effective implementation of the Child Rights Act across the country. “It is imperative that we have family courts in all states that have adopted the CRA. Without them, where will cases involving children be adjudicated? The absence of family courts undermines the protection and representation of vulnerable children, and this negligence has grave implications.”
