Building a child-friendly Europe: Turning a vision into reality
Conference on the Council of Europe Strategy for the Rights of the Child 2012-2015. In April 2006, all Council of Europe partners gathered in Monaco at a high-level conference to discuss children’s rights. The over 300 participants called for a genuine political commitment, the establishment of a platform to co-ordinate action and the launch of a process to guarantee that real progress was made and children’s rights remained on the political agenda in the years to come. The first result of the “Monaco process” was the launching of the Council of Europe programme, “Building a Europe for and with children”.
The objectives of the conference are:
1. To assess the progress achieved since the launching of the Programme, “Building a Europe for and with Children” in Monaco in 2006;
2. To discuss the priority axes of the new Council of Europe strategy on the rights of the child and identify actions to be taken by the organisation, its member states and other partners to ensure respect for children’s rights through the various international standard-setting texts and promote the development of legislation, policies and practices at national level.
