Join Us for the 2009 National Symposium on the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC)
The Campaign for U.S. Ratification of the Convention on the Rights of the Child is pleased to announce that our National Symposium will be held from June 1-2, 2009 in Washington, DC at the Georgetown University Law Center. This event is being co-sponsored by the Georgetown University Law Center’s Juvenile Justice Clinic.
The Convention on the Rights of the Child: Why It is Time to Ratify
The focus of the 2009 Symposium, The Convention on the Rights of the Child: Why It is Time to Ratify, is to look at the Convention through the lens of its impact on U.S. children. To facilitate a better understanding of the CRC’s applicability, we have organized six interactive panel discussions that will explore the Convention in the context of the following topics:
* Education
* Health
* Needs, Rights, and the Human Family
* Participation
* Special Protection Measures
* Supportive Environments for Children
The Symposium will bring together a multi-disciplinary group of experts representing the fields of child and human development, education, health/medicine, law, psychology, public policy, and social work.
