"President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf today officially launched the Children’s Law of Liberia to protect children and their right to participate meaningfully in their development," says this press release from UNICEF. "The law is one of the most comprehensive pieces of children’s rights legislation in the continent and is largely based on the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) and the African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Child, ratified by Liberia in 1993 and 1992 respectively."
