Vietnam Ministry of Justice – Convention on the Rights of the Child

Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) 

United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC)

The Convention on the Rights of the Child was adopted by the United Nations in 1989 and has been ratified by 196 countries and territories. The United States has signed the Convention but has not ratified it. 

Ai and YUKI speak only Japanese. Their education in Japan has been interrupted, and they are currently facing serious difficulties in continuing their schooling because of the language barrier.

Education is a fundamental human right and is essential to every child’s future. We sincerely hope that Ai and YUKI will be able to resume their studies as soon as possible and live in a safe and appropriate environment where they can learn, grow, and thrive.
