El registro de nacimiento: el derecho a tener derechos

El registro de nacimiento: el derecho a tener derechos

Published: 2002 Innocenti Digest
Este número del Innocenti Digest se está dedicado al tema del registro de nacimiento, un derecho humano fundamental que abre el camino a los demás derechos, como el derecho a la educación y a los cuidados médicos, a la participación y a la protección. Se explica por qué cada año queda sin inscribir en un registro el nacimiento de más de 50 millones de bebés. Jurídicamente hablando, estos niños no existen y se les niega el derecho a tener un nombre y una nacionalidad oficiales. Sus posibilidades concretas de acceder a los servicios básicos pueden verse seriamente comprometidas y los niños mismos pueden encontrarse en una situación de mayor vulnerabilidad frente a los abusos y la explotación.
L'enregistrement à la naissance : un droit pour commencer

L'enregistrement à la naissance : un droit pour commencer

Published: 2002 Innocenti Digest
Le présent Digest étudie l’enregistrement de la naissance, un droit humain fondamental, qui est aussi la clé d’autres droits à l’éducation, aux soins de santé, à la participation, à la protection. Il explique comment il se fait que chaque année, plus de 50 millions de naissances ne soient pas enregistrées. Ces nouveau-nés n’existent pas aux yeux de la loi, et ils se voient dénier leur droit à un nom officiel et à une nationalité. Leur accès aux services de santé de base risque de se heurter à de terribles obstacles, et ils sont plus vulnérables aux abus et à l’exploitation. Les effets du non-enregistrement de la naissance peuvent se faire sentir tout au long de la vie, interdisant à l’adulte de voter, d’ouvrir un compte en banque, de se marier légalement. Pour l’Etat aussi, les implications en sont graves. Les pays ont en effet besoin, pour établir une planification efficace, de savoir quelle est leur population actuelle et quelle elle devrait être dans l’avenir. Ce Digest insiste sur l’importance cruciale de l’enregistrement des naissances, examine les obstacles à un enregistrement universel, et met en lumière les actions - sensibilisation, changements dans la législation, allocations de ressources et constitution de capacités - qui devront être prises pour garantir l’enregistrement de tous les enfants.

Published: 2001 Innocenti Publications
This book glimpses the leadership and achievements of Jim Grant during his period as Executive Director of UNICEF (1980-1995). Each chapter is written by one of his close colleagues - one of those who was privileged to share in the excitement of the efforts and victories for children during those intense years. Jim Grant was a professional and a visionary, an analyst with vast experience and an activist of almost unlimited commitment. At the time of his death it was estimated that, because of his influence, at least 25 million children were alive who would otherwise have died in early life.

Published: 2001 Innocenti Insights
In this Innocenti Insight, Gerison Lansdown examines the meaning of Article 12 of the Convention on the Rights of the Child, which says that children are entitled to participate in the decisions that affect them. Lansdown takes a close look at the full meaning of this Article as a tool that can help children themselves to challenge abuses of their rights and take action to defend those rights. She also stresses what the Article does not do. It does not, for example, give children the right to ride roughshod over the rights of others, particularly parents. The Insight makes a strong case for listening to children, outlining the implications of failing to do so and challenging many of the arguments that have been levelled against child participation. It is, above all, a practical guide to this issue, with clear checklists for child participation in conferences and many concrete examples of recent initiatives.

Dans cet Insight Innocenti, Gerison Lansdown examine l’article 12 de la Convention relative aux droits de l’enfant, selon lequel les enfants ont le droit de participer aux décisions qui les concernent. Lansdown se livre à une étude approfondie de la signification de cet article en tant qu’instrument au service des enfants pour protester contre les violations de leurs droits et agir pour défendre ces droits. Elle met aussi l’accent sur ce que l’article n’énonce pas, par exemple le fait qu’il ne donne pas aux enfants le droit de fouler aux pieds les droits des autres - en particulier des parents. Elle recommande avec insistance d’écouter les enfants, indique les conséquences d’un manquement en ce sens et récuse un grand nombre des arguments qui ont été émis contre la participation des enfants. L’Insight se veut, avant tout, un guide pratique sur la question, fournissant des listes récapitulatives claires pour la participation des enfants aux conférences, et de nombreux exemples concrets d’initiatives récentes.

In occasione del decennale della Convenzione delle Nazioni Uniti sui Diritti dell’Infanzia, la Regione Toscana, il Comitato Nazionale per l’UNICEF e il Centro di Ricerca Innocenti dell’UNICEF hanno organizzato un incontro internazionale di giovani. Il tema centrale è stato il principio della non-discriminazione sancito dall’articolo 2 della Convenzione sui Diritti dell’Infanzia. I giovani hanno partecipato con esperti e attivisti in tre seminari tecnici che si sono occupati rispettivamente di: tutela giuridica e accesso ai servizi di base per i bambini delle minoranze e dei popoli indigeni; tutela giuridica e accesso ai servizi di base per i bambini degli immigranti, dei profughi e dei richiedenti asilo; bambini in situazioni di conflitto armato e iniziative di costruzione della pace. I giovani hanno concluso l’incontro presentando la loro propria dichiarazione sulla non-discriminazione, ‘Il Proclama dei Giovani’.

The International Children’s Rights Thesaurus consists of a core of several hundred terms that express the specific rights and concerns of the Convention on the Rights of the Child together with a number of more general terms that set these issues in their economic and social context. The criterion for inclusion of descriptors in the Thesaurus is their usefulness for indexing and retrieving documents on issues covered by the CRC.

Published: 2000 Innocenti Publications
Un tesauro es un "vocabulario controlado" sobre una temática específica -en este caso los derechos del niño- que permite a quienes manejan la información utilizar un lenguaje común, "controlado", para procesar informaciones sobre un tema dado, lo cual a su vez posibilita la recuperación exacta y completa de informaciones y el intercambio a nivel internacional. Este Tesauro está diseñado para que se use junto con el Glosario sobre los Derechos del Niño, que proporciona una guía detallada a la terminología especializada relativa a los derechos del niño y, de manera particular, a la terminología que contiene la CDN. Además, permite ver los términos relacionados de una misma temática (términos generales, términos específicos).

Le Thésaurus de la Convention relative aux droits de l'enfant (Thésaurus CDE) est un outil qui permet aux bibliothèques et aux centres de documentation d'indexer et de repérer des documents du point de vue de la Convention. Les descripteurs du Thésaurus CDE décrivent les droits et les concepts spécifiquement traités par la Convention ainsi qu'un certain nombre de concepts plus généraux qui situent la Convention dans son contexte économique et social. Nous avons pris comme critère pour l'inclusion de descripteurs dans le thésaurus leur pertinence au sujets traités dans la Convention. Nous avons évité d'inclure des termes ne traitant que des sujets périphériques à la Convention.

A Report of the international gathering held in Florence to celebrate the 10th Anniversary of the Convention on the Rights of the Child, with special reference to children of minorities, indigenous peoples and immigrants.
