The CRC has a challenging and ambitious agenda in relation to the protection of children from all forms of violence, particularly the large and increasing numbers of children affected by natural disasters, armed conflict, trafficking, poverty and increasing inequality, displacement and trafficking. In this article, we outline some of the issues in the implementation and understanding of the Convention and highlight three major international developments over the last decade: the adoption of General Comment No 13, the work of the Special Representative of the Secretary General on Violence Against Children, and the adoption of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development by the UN General Assembly in 2005. We also identify four broad domains in which the Convention can and is being used to enhance efforts to ensure the protection of children based on a rights framework - advocacy and litigation, policy design, service delivery and research and monitoring methodology - rather than a welfare-based approach. The key to a rights-based approach in efforts to protect children is a focus on children's right to be involved in decision-making - and in research - that affect their lives.
儿童权利委员会在保护儿童免受一切形式暴力方面的议程既具有挑战性，又十分宏大，尤其是在保护受自然灾害、武装冲突、贩卖人口、贫困和不平等加剧、流离失所和贩卖人口等问题影响的大量日益增多的儿童方面。本文概述了《公约》执行和理解方面的一些问题，并重点介绍了过去十年中的三项重大国际发展动态：通过第 13 号一般性意见、负责暴力侵害儿童问题秘书长特别代表的工作，以及 2005 年联合国大会通过的 2030 年可持续发展议程。我们还确定了《公约》可用于并正在用于加强努力，确保根据权利框架保护儿童的四个广泛领域，包括倡导和诉讼、政策设计、服务提供以及研究和监测方法，而不是基于福利的方法。在保护儿童的努力中采取基于权利的方法的关键是注重儿童参与影响其生活的决策的权利，以及参与研究的权利。
