Child Rights Protection and Criminal Law Reform in Canada: Notes for an address to the Office of the Attorney General, Thailand
This address provides a review of criminal law reform initiatives that have taken place in Canada during recent years in the area of the protection of children. There is a need for sound legislation to be put in place by all states, through the implementation of the Convention of the Rights of the Child, in order to protect all the world’s children from all forms of abuse and exploitation. In addition, a meaningful commitment to implement the legislation is required. Serious enforcement of the law requires making appropriate resources available, including proper training of personnel.
