Topic 1: No poverty: Removing Tangible Barriers for Children to Escape Poverty
No poverty is being debated through the framework of the SDGs, more can now be done to address the issue decisively and thoroughly. UNICEF is committed to ensuring that no child is left behind in the struggle to improve and level the playing field for all people. One of UNICEF’s most crucial responsibilities in this regard is to concentrate on bringing children out of poverty. Indicators and progress tracking systems have already been implemented globally, and the emphasis now is on examining the specific obstacles that stand in the way of children’s education, development, growth, and other opportunities for a better life. Delegates need to come up with proposals that will ensure sustainability, preserve the improved lives of these kids, and prevent the erasure of any other people’s rights in the process
Topic 2: Juvenile Justice: Dignity and justice for children
The system designed to guarantee that the rights of minors who are in legal trouble are upheld is known as the “juvenile justice system.” Conversely, “justice for children” refers to broader systems and procedures that take into account children who are in contact with the legal system, including victims and witnesses, as well as children involved in criminal, civil, and administrative proceedings, military and international courts, and informal justice mechanisms. The goal of “justice for children” is to include children’s needs within the general judicial system. Finally, the idea also includes making sure that kids have access to justice, which is the capacity to get just compensation for rights abuses in a timely, fair, and efficient manner. Delegates are expected to come up with ways to include children’s needs as a consideration for justice in every country.
