The Impact of UNCRC on National Legislation and Policy
Rated
by Ireland in 1992, the Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC), is a
comprehensive and internationally binding agreement on the rights of children,
adopted by the UN in 1989, and since then, Ireland has seen significant changes
in the way it approaches and protect children's rights.
This treaty ensures that all children have access to their fundamental rights, regardless of their nationality or conditions.
The UNCRC helped the Irish legal system considerably, as after the accession of this treaty, two processes of reviewing the country's performance were carried out (1998/2006), sessions held by the UN Committee itself, where they helped the State, how to act and achieve make children's rights a reality. For example, the Children First Act, 2015, addresses the country's commitment to protecting children from abuse and neglect, making it aligned with the principles of the UNCRC. This legislation emphasizes the duty of professionals to report cases of child abuse and prioritizes the need to listen to children's points of view in processes that raise awareness.
Furthermore, the UNCRC contributed to education in Ireland by promoting approaches that value the individuality and development of each child. The importance of children's participation in the decisions that teach them is added to educational policies, encouraging a more inclusive and child-centered environment.
Children's rights have also attracted prominence in sociocultural challenges, emphasizing the importance of providing a safe and protected environment for their development. Bullying, child abuse and discrimination have become more common, encouraging society to become more aware of the difficulties children have faced, and also contributing to a more protective and focused view of the world among children. Furthermore, the UNCRC has had an effect on social welfare services, cooperating in the development of programs and resources to help children in critical situations. Legislation and provisions arising from this commitment help ensure that children's rights are prioritized in government decisions and resource allocation. In short, Ireland's ratification of the UNCRC treaty resulted in significant changes in several areas, from the legal system to public awareness. This commitment to children's rights demonstrates how important it is to provide a safe, healthy and nurturing environment for Irish society.
