UNICEF Representative urges Tunisia to ratify third Optional Protocol to International Convention on Rights of Child:
TAP)30/07/2016 19:00, Tunis/Tunisia – The United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) Representative in Tunis Lila Pieters urged Tunisia to ratify the third Optional Protocol to the International Convention on the Rights of the Child.
The protocol, adopted on December 9, 2011, empowers children whose rights were violated to lodge an individual complaint with the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child.
"I invite and encourage Tunisia to sign this protocol, " she said in an exclusive interview with TAP on the occasion of the launch on July 12 of the Global Partnership to End Violence Against Children.
"Tunisia can take pride in its new constitution that acknowledges and protects children's rights; yet, it is imperative today to implement legislation, " she underscored.
The UN official called upon the government and the House of People's Representatives to appoint an independent commissioner for children accountable to the parliament and not to the government, in line with the International Convention on the Rights of the Child.
Pieters also urged Tunisia to submit its periodic report to the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child so as to take stock of achievements and challenges.
