UN Committee on the Rights of the Child has adopted General Comment nº 25 on children’s rights in relation to the digital environment

On 4th of February 2021, the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child has adopted General Comment nº 25 on children’s rights in relation to the digital environment.

The General Comment is a result of three years of work with the support of the 5Rights Foundation, and the participation of forty countries, hundreds of organisations, 700 children and 50 dedicated experts from 27 countries have contributed to the process.

The culture and practice of the digital environment go hand in hand with any other aspect of childhood. Children want to be a part of the digital world. The General Comment can ensure that they do so in a safe and rights respecting way. The celebration day will take place on 24 March 2021.
