دور الامم المتحدة في محاربة ظاهرة اطفال الشوارع: الاتفاقيات والميكانيزمات

The global changes that occurred in the past two decades, with the rise of the concepts of human development and human rights, led to a growing interest in the child and his physical, emotional and intellectual rights, which are part of human rights. This interest reached its highest level after the World Summit on Childhood in 1990, which issued the International Convention on the Rights of the Child, which has been ratified by the majority of countries in the world until today, to become the basis for dealing with children’s issues through the legislation adopted by the signatory states to guarantee these rights. As a result of the economic crises and the negative effects of structural adjustment policies and programs on the countries of the south, especially the most affected groups, namely women and children, in light of the increasing rates of poverty, the spread of unemployment and inflation, and the disintegration of family relations, a number of negative social phenomena emerged, which mainly included children of poor families and The most important of which are underage child labor and street children, and accordingly this study will address the content of the agreements that have been crystallized within the framework of the United Nations and the mechanisms established for this purpose.
