The article describes the Commissioner's role in ensuring governmental and non-governmental accountability with the rights of children. Statutory responsibilities under the United National Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCROC) are summarised, in particular Article 19 of the Convention, which requires protection for children from violence. The Clearinghouse has a copy of this issue of The Lancet. This article is one of a series of essays focusing on the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and children's rights issues. Record #2006
