Safeguarding children's rights through international legal frameworks

Abstract

Every state exists to protect the freedoms and rights of children. This universally recognized norm has gained worldwide recognition. The protection of children's rights in international law deserves special attention. The article highlights the problematic issues of child rights protection at the global level. These issues are essential in international law, as they extend to the entire world. International law on the protection of children's rights and freedoms makes it possible to address urgent problems of implementation and improvement of the organizational and legal framework for preventing violations of children's rights. This includes the study of legal reform in the world and Ukraine and the harmonization of national legislation with international law. Nowadays, the protection of children's rights and freedoms is critical since children in Ukraine are forced to make significant efforts to get even an education. However, according to international law, every child should grow up in peaceful and safe conditions. The research was conducted using the historical method, the method of comparison, analysis, and the systematic method. The analysis of the theory and practice of child rights violations as an urgent and global problem in Ukraine and worldwide will improve legal consciousness and awareness. This will make it possible to avoid offenses and draw attention to the mandatory consideration of international norms. It is worth noting that the problems that arise in our country today need to be addressed at the global level, as children are our future, and they need to grow and develop in a safe, peaceful, and harmonious environment. Children need support and care for their growth and the formation of the ideology of the rule of law and legal awareness. The freedoms and rights of children should be in the first place, both at the national and international levels.
