Upholding Children’s Rights in
Disasters and Emergencies
Session 1
Four Pillars of UN CRC

• Right to Survival

• Right to Development

• Right to Protection

• Right to Participation
• All human rights conventions apply to children, at all times, in
both development and emergencies contexts;
• Children need local policies, since they need additional
attention and protection;
• The UN CRC emphasizes that children are holders of rights
and its accompanying responsibilities;
• The enjoyment (or violation) of human rights of parents and
people in the community affects children’s enjoyment of their
own rights;
• There are human and child rights in place, globally and in the
Philippines – but the challenges are on claiming and holding
them.
• All sectors in the community should work for the
implementation of child rights. This should happen at all levels
– from local to national to international.

Development in the Context of

5. Every child is a thinking, moving, feeling, and
interactive human being able to actively participate in
the learning and development of self in the context of
one’s family and community including cultural and
religious beliefs.
