Peru - one of 10 nations to report on time. |
Governments ratifying the Convention on the Rights of the Child are obliged to report within two years to the Committee of 10 experts set up to monitor the Convention (see A conventional approach). The reports are meant to detail the steps being taken to comply with the Convention.
An early indicator of whether governments are taking the Convention seriously is whether their reports are submitted on time - or at all.
As at end February 1995, 21 nations are more than a year overdue. A further 35 are over two years late submitting their reports. The table below shows the full record of the 132 governments due to have reported by March 1995.
