Children in vulnerable situations
The European Convention of Human Rights confirms that all individuals have the right to enjoy equal protection of their human rights. Article 14 of the Convention guarantees that the enjoyment of the rights contained therein shall be secured without discrimination on any ground.
Children also enjoy the protection guaranteed in Article 14 of the Convention and thus require special attention if their right to non-discrimination is to be realised. The Council of Europe Strategy for the Rights of the Child attributes special attention to the needs of discriminated and marginalised groups of children.
