Προστασία των δικαιωμάτων του παιδιού σε διεθνές και ευρωπαϊκό επίπεδο
Protection of Children’s Rights at national and european level
In this section, we aim to present the abundance of international and European documents that protect the rights of the child and bind Greece. The main ones are the United Nations International Convention on the Rights of the Child, which concerns children exclusively, and the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (ECHR), which includes children. Special reference is made to the work of the Committee on the Rights of the Child, which oversees the implementation of the former Convention, and to the case-law of the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR), which has jurisdiction over all matters concerning the interpretation and application of the latter Convention. These two bodies relentlessly promote the protection of children’s rights and it is essential to make their work known to all.

About Us
The Network for Children’s Rights acquired non-profit organisation status in 2004, but actually began as an informal action group four years earlier with the aim of raising awareness of problems relating to the righs of children and interceding in order to solve them. It encourages initiatives and actions to ensure that the UN International Convention on the Rights of the Child is implemented in Greece, to guarantee respect for diversity and to put an end to discrimination.
