Implementation Handbook for the Convention on the Rights of the Child

The Implementation Handbook, which was revised in 2002, assists in implementing the CRC by providing an analysis of each separate article of the Convention. For each article, the Handbook deals with the background, the interpretation by the Committee on the Rights of the Child and other international bodies and the guidelines for reporting and general comments; furthermore implementation checklists are provided for each article. Other international instruments related to the rights of the child are also considered, as well as the optional protocols to the CRC.

The Handbook can be used by governments, international agencies, NGOs and others as a practical tool for programming on children's rights as well as for monitoring and evaluating progress towards implementing the CRC.
