Unele consideraţii privind practica Internaţională de creare şi dezvoltare a instituţiei ombudsmanului copilului [Articol]

Abstract

Considering the vulnerability of children to the violation or disregard of their rights, the need for special measures to protect their rights was unanimously supported and promoted. One of the measures is the creation of an independent mechanism for the protection of the rights of the child - the institution of the Ombudsman for Children. The concept of the Child Ombudsman was initially developed in the Scandinavian countries, on the model of the General Ombudsman. There are currently such institutions in over 40 states, most of which operate nationwide as independent institutions. In this article, the authors elucidate and analyze the international practice of creating and developing the institution of the Ombudsman for Children, highlighting different models of Ombudsman institutions for children and their particularities.
