The Convention on the Rights of the Child (CROC) Arts 35-36 address which protection?

• A. Rights to education and health
• B. Prohibition of child labour
• C. Protection of asylum seekers
• D. Protection from abduction, sale or trafficking and all other forms of exploitation

Answer: (D)

These two articles are about protecting children from abduction, sale or trafficking and from all other forms of exploitation. They place a duty on states to prevent these acts, to criminalize those who commit them, and to provide protection and assistance to victims, including international cooperation when needed. This focus is different from education and health rights, which are addressed by other parts of the convention, or from prohibitions on child labour, which appear in other articles. It’s also distinct from protections for asylum-seeking children, which are covered under refugee-related provisions elsewhere. So the protection described in these articles is specifically about safeguarding children from abduction, sale or trafficking and from exploitation.
