Recently, I began working with the Working Group for Children, the division of Amnesty International devoted to the rights of children caught in the political crossfire. The Working Group for Children impressed me because of its clear statements of what children's human rights are.
Childhood is where humanity begins.
Being human alone entitles children to protection, but the fact that they are small and more vulnerable entitles them to special protection, which Amnesty International outlines for us in the following document. This argument may seem obvious. It is not, as you will find out. I am grateful to Amnesty International for outlining these principles for the world to see, and hopefully to follow. I urge you to read it.
