UN resolution will focus on children without parental care

SOS Children's Villages

"In a historic move, the UN General Assembly have selected ‘Children without parental care’ as the theme for the ‘Rights of the Child’ resolution for 2019," says this press release from SOS Children's Villages. "The announcement represents the first step towards the adoption of the resolution in the UN General Assembly in 2019. Once adopted, the non-binding resolution could become the most internationally recognised guidance for states and concerned stakeholders on protecting the rights of children without parental care or at risk of losing it."
