Abstract
Children’s right to be heard as expressed in article 12 of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) is a legal obligation within all except two jurisdictions. Within the last decade, legal and policy responses for realising children’s right to be heard have increased significantly. Often, however, there is a disconnect between the legal obligation in the Convention and children’s enjoyment of the right. With the objective of illuminating the role of monitoring in bridging this disconnect, the paper explores the potential of child-rights indicators as a tool for increasing respect, protection and fulfillment of children’s right to be heard.
