Correct Answer - Option 4 : 1989

On 20th November, 1989, the General Assembly of the United Nations unanimously adopted the “Convention on the Rights of the Child”. The Convention entered into force on 2nd of September 1990 having been ratified by 20 countries. 

  • The Convention on the Rights of the Child is the first legally binding international instrument to incorporate the full range of human rights—civil, cultural, economic, political and social rights.
  • In 1989, world leaders decided that children needed a special convention just for them because people under 18 years of age often need special care and protection that adults do not.
  • The Convention sets out these rights in 54 articles and two Optional Protocols. It spells out the basic human rights of children like the right to survival; to develop to the fullest; to protection from harmful influences, abuse and exploitation; and to participate fully in family, cultural and social life.  
  • The four core principles of the Convention are non-discrimination; devotion to the best interests of the child; the right to life, survival and development; and respect for the views of the child. 
  • The Convention protects children’s rights by setting standards in health care; education; and legal, civil and social services. By agreeing to undertake the obligations of the Convention (by ratifying or acceding to it), national governments have committed themselves to protect and ensuring children’s rights and they have agreed to hold themselves accountable for this commitment before the international community. 

Thus from the above-mentioned points, it is clear that in 1989 year the general assembly has adopted the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.
