Abstract

The aim of this paper is to explain, based on the 1989 Convention on the Rights of the Child and its General Comment No. 25, how States Parties should implement the Convention in relation to the digital environment and provide guidance on appropriate legal, policy and other measures to ensure full compliance with their obligations under the Convention and its Optional Protocols in view of the opportunities, threats and challenges of promoting, respecting, protecting and fulfilling all children’s rights in the virtual environment. The author points out the current main threats in the execution of children’s rights in the digital environment and the challenges faced in this regard by the state authority, governmental and non-governmental organizations and the private sector.
