A study of the laws relating to rights of child a human rights perspective

By Fatma Hashmeen

The children are the greatest gift of God to man, our most precious and very

important asset. They are apostles of peace and they are very much human

beings with enormous potential to grow and develop into adult in future. They

are not a commodity and hence cannot and must not be subjected to family

monopoly.

Children are the foundations of human society. The shape of future human

society shall be determined by their mental and physical well-being. Just as the

personality of an adult is built in his or her primitive years, the development of a

nation is determined by the priority given to the child. The children are the

supreme assets of the nation, hence in National Policy; child's care should

occupy the most prominent place. Specific care needs to be taken that children

grow up to become agile citizens, physically fit, mentally sound and alert and

socially and morally healthy.

In order to create a healthy society, to promote social progress and better

standard of living, grooming children in the best possible coordinal family

environment, an atmosphere of happiness, love and understanding is

mandatory for the development of his or her personality. The child should grow

in such an atmosphere that he is fully prepared to live as an individual,

independent life with the prescribed ideal norms of ideal human society. But

unfortunately, in spite of there being a number of resolution and laws both at

National and Global level, the condition of children is far from satisfactory,

History is the witness that this innocent and helpless creature has been subjected

to variety of exploitations, in spite of the fact that human society is claimed to be

progressing.
