Child rights information network

The President of Sudan officially launched the first ever Child Act for Southern Sudan. The director of Operations for UNICEF was on hand for the historical moment and said : “This legislation is a major milestone in creating a protective environment in which children can enjoy their rights to health, education and other basic services, to access information, to express their views, and to be protected from abuse, neglect, exploitation and harm.” The new laws prohibit neglect, violence and abuse of children and also must provide all minors with a full education. This will go a long way to helping the impoverished nation and all of its minors.

Slovakia’s Ombudsman Pavel Kandráč has demanded investigation into a incident involving local police in Roma. The policemen reportedly made 6 young men strip each other and then slap each others faces in the police station. Video of the event has been released to local authorities and media outlets which has since been broadcast on several websites. The police officers are facing charges in the event as they have broken both Slovakian laws as well as those of the United Nations. The boys were apparently being detained for attacking a 66year old lady and stealing her purse.
