Right of the Month
UNCRC Right of the Month – January 2020
Article 30
I have a right to speak my own language and to follow my family’s way of life.
Article 30 of the UNCRC makes it clear that children and young people who belong to a minority group have the right to share their culture, language and religion with other people in that group.
While most of what Article 30 says is implied by other Articles of the UNCRC, it exists to makes clear that the rights of minority children and young people should not be overlooked by people who think about how to put the Convention into practice. It applies to everyone in Scotland and not just its citizens— so refugees in the process of seeking asylum are covered by it in the same way as everybody else.
What Article 30 doesn’t say
Article 30 doesn’t say that a child or young person’s culture or religion can be used to override their rights as given in the UNCRC. In particular, children and young have the right to be protected from practices that are likely to cause them harm, regardless of whether they are part of their culture.
September – Article 7
This month we are focusing on Article 7.
You have the right to a name, and the government should officially recognise this. You have the right to a nationality (to belong to a country).
