In April 2011, the Committee on the Rights of the Child issued the General Comment No. 13 on the right of the child to freedom from all forms of violence. Its Article 19 declares that "protective measures should, as appropriate, include effective procedures for the establishment of social programs to provide necessary support for the child and for those who have the care of the child." One available social program that focuses on providing support for parents, caregivers and children is the International Child Development Program (ICDP), which is presented in this article. The ICDP is designed to influence and improve the quality of contact and relation between the caregivers, usually parents, and children, through the practical application of the eight themes or guidelines for positive interaction. The Convention on the Rights of the Child is a value-based legal document ratified by most countries in the world. This is a significant achievement and it gives a new basis and legitimization for a more humane treatment of children all over the world. Nevertheless, it is important to understand that there is a big gap between a legal document describing ideal conditions for children at a macro-governmental level and its implementation at the microlevel of families and communities. The ICDP is another expression of the same humanitarian spirit as it is encoded in the convention of children' rights. ICDP can be put in practice in any community to create positive conditions for the fulfillment of fundamental children's rights: the right to be protected from violence and to receive the loving care and guidance from the immediate environment which is required to ensure healthy human development. Introducing children's rights is likely to have a major impact on families (and all levels of authorities) if efforts are also made to activate awareness and deeper bonding to children as persons. Without a deep activation of a more humanized and caring relationship to children, provided by social programs such as ICDP, the advocacy for children's rights may become an empty shell without its basis in human realities.
2011 年 4 月,儿童权利委员会发布了关于儿童免受一切形式暴力权利的第 13 号一般性意见。其第 19 条宣布:“保护措施应酌情包括为儿童和照料儿童的人建立社会方案的有效程序,为其提供必要的支持。”一个专注于为父母、照顾者和儿童提供支持的社会方案是国际儿童发展方案(ICDP),本文将介绍该方案。ICDP 通过对积极互动的 8 个主题或指导方针的实际应用,旨在影响和改善照顾者(通常是父母)与儿童之间的联系和关系质量。《儿童权利公约》是一份基于价值观的法律文件,得到了世界上大多数国家的批准。这是一项重大成就,为全世界更人道地对待儿童提供了新的基础和合法性。然而,重要的是要理解,在描述宏观政府层面上儿童理想条件的法律文件与其在家庭和社区微观层面的实施之间存在很大差距。ICDP 是同一人道主义精神的另一种表达,因为它被编码在儿童权利公约中。ICDP 可以在任何社区实施,为实现儿童的基本权利创造积极条件:免受暴力侵害的权利,以及从直接环境中获得关爱和指导的权利,这是确保人类健康发展所必需的。如果努力提高对儿童作为人的认识,并与他们建立更深层次的联系,那么引入儿童权利很可能会对家庭(和各级当局)产生重大影响。如果没有 ICDP 等社会方案提供的对儿童的更人性化和关爱的关系的深度激活,倡导儿童权利可能会成为一个没有其人类现实基础的空洞外壳。
