In 1977 the World Health Organization recommended that every country throughout the world should have a national plan for child mental health. The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child has been another important stimulus for child mental health policies and services in many countries. Adopted unanimously by the United Nations General Assembly in 1989 and instituted as international law in 1990, the Convention is an agreement on the basic protections that should be accorded to children. Adopted in 1961, the European Social Charter is the major European treaty that secures children's rights. In 1996 the Charter was revised and expanded to include a list of core obligations of the contracting parties relating to the recognition of social, legal and economic rights for children and young persons.
1977年，世界卫生组织建议世界各国都应制定国家儿童心理健康计划。《联合国儿童权利公约》是许多国家儿童心理健康政策和服务的另一重要推动因素。该公约于1989年由联合国大会一致通过，并于1990年成为国际法，是一项关于应给予儿童基本保护的协议。1961年通过的《欧洲社会宪章》是保障儿童权利的主要欧洲条约。1996年，该宪章进行了修订和扩充，纳入了缔约国关于承认儿童和青年社会、法律及经济权利的一系列核心义务。
