Article 11
1. States Parties shall take measures to combat the illicit transfer and non-return of children abroad. 2. To this end, States Parties shall promote the conclusion of bilateral or multilateral agreements or accession to existing agreements.

Reflection

My personal feeling is that this article on children’s rights is very important. If this children's right is not respected, children could be sent around as objects used for trade (transplants/labor/adoptions/) and earning money (labor/prostitution/crime-children cannot be punished like adults by the law). Therfore I think that children should be always legally protected. For example poorer countries have a harder time protecting children because their birty is not always officially declared. (a child withought documents does not technically exist.) A child with documents is tracked for vaccinations and obligatory schooling.

Questions

1. Why is human nature inhumane enough to even think of trading other people like things, and isn't this worse when it is done with children? 2. Don't children have the right to live in the sunlight without hiding? 3. Shouldn't children always stay with their family unless separation is absolutely necessary? 4. Shouldn't states always protect children from all over the world? 5. Shouldn't parents always protect their children? 6. Shouldn't the convenction for the rights of children be recognized all over the world?
