YESPYQ · Accepted Answer

Correct answer: 1, 2 and 3. The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC), adopted in 1989, is a comprehensive human rights treaty that recognizes the full range of rights for children. The Convention outlines four broad categories of rights for children:-  Survival Rights include the child’s right to life, adequate nutrition, healthcare, and a standard of living adequate for development.  Development Rights encompass the right to education, access to information, and opportunities for personal, cultural, and social development.  Participation Rights include the child’s right to freedom of expression, thought, association, and participation in decisions affecting their lives.  Protection Rights safeguard children from exploitation, abuse, and harm.  The Right to Recreation is included under development rights, while the Right to Expression falls under participation rights. Together, all three options: development, expression, and recreation are recognized as rights of the child under the UNCRC. 59
