WORLD DECLARATION ON THE SURVIVAL PROTECTION AND DEVELOPMENT OF CHILDREN.

Agreed to at the world summit for children on September 15 2015.

1. We have gathered at the world summit for children to undertake a joint commitment and to make an urgent universal appeal to give every child a better futur.
2. The children of the world are innocent, vulnerable and dependent. They are also curious, active and full of hope. Their time should be one of joy and peace, of playing, learning and growing. Their future should be shaped in harmony and co operation. Their lives should mature, as they broaden their perspectives and gain new experiences.
3. But for many children, the reality of childhood is altogether different.
