The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) was adopted by the General Assembly of the United Nations (UN) on 20 November 1989. It sets out the legal, political, financial, social and cultural rights of children. In response to an appeal made by the UN, the CRC has been ratified by 193 nations including Nepal, which did so on 14 September 1990. In addition, Nepal has ratified the two optional protocols to the CRC.
Since then, Nepal has developed a number of policy, legal and institutional arrangements related to child rights, and has implemented programmes accordingly. Based on commitments made by the Government of Nepal and in line with the CRC and the Declaration of UN General Assembly Special Session (UNGASS) on Children, this 10-year National Plan of Action (NPA) for Children was developed in 2004. It is mainly based on the four themes identified in A World Fit for Children’, addressing issues related to promoting healthy lives, providing quality education, protecting against abuse, exploitation and violence, and ensuring child participation. The issue of combating HIV and AIDS is also included in this NPA.
