Parallel report to the Committee on the Rights of the Child on the combined 5th and 6th periodic reports of the Federal Republic of Germany

Abstract

Realising the Convention’s requirements will require a resolute policy on children's rights that does not stop at incorporating children’s rights into the Basic Law but also establishes structures that will strengthen the impact of children’s rights in all areas of life. This report begins with a discussion of structures and institutions involved in the fulfilment of children's rights, before turning to concrete examples of implementation - each touching on a general principle of the Convention - drawn from the real-life situations of children.
