Bills submitted on children’s rights and protection

The Minister of Population Development and Social Welfare S.Erdene MP Monday submitted to the Speaker Z.Enkhbold draft laws on children’s rights and on children’s protection.

The Constitution lays down a state protection of rights of families, children and infants, moreover,  Mongolia joined the Convention on the Rights of the Child in 1990, "but kinds of violence except in the educational environment are still not legally banned", the Minister said. "So it has become urgent to adopt a new law on children’s protection although there is the same law which has been implemented some 20 years, but it seems to be more material-oriented one," he noted. 

He went on that, in conjunction with formulating the new draft law on children’s protection, a bill on children’s rights has been worked out with 27 clauses in four articles, which determine children’s rights as well as responsibilities, and regulate the relations in power and duties of state organizations, citizens and entities in ensuring children’s rights.

The Minister added that these bills are submitted to parliament in days of celebrating the 90th  anniversary of the organization for Mongolian children.
