Thereafter come the 41 material articles, followed by the two final parts that relate to the functioning of the Convention in actual practice, the implementation articles and the enter into force articles. This is unique for being an international UN document. Unique, and also the credit of this Convention, is that the different rights are not ranked according to their alleged importance, instead they interact with each other to form part of the same entity . Unique is also the thought of cooperation between countries in order to be able to comply with the obligations of the Convention. Behind each of the articles in the Convention there is a consensus , which also is unique.
Majority lies behind most decisions in international instruments.
A wealthy country having ratified the Convention always will have to set other and higher standards than a poor country in order to fulfil the obligations set in the Convention. This means that the standards should be compared to the national legislation and standard of the country. In the preamble is set out the background and the guidelines for how to interprete the Convention. It states that parents are important for the development and well-being of the child and are entitled to support in their roles as parents and that the child needs to grow up in a loving and caring family environment in order to develop according to its optimal potential. I believe that as educators, as people who work with and for children and young people, we have a big responsibility to teach that along with rights there are always responisibilities.
