Full Description
On 30th September 1990, the World Summit for Children brought together the largest gathering of Presidents and Prime Ministers in history. The outcome was a promise to the children of the 1990s to end child deaths and child malnutrition on today's scale by the year 2000, and to provide basic protection for the normal physical and mental development of all the world's children. The Declaration and Plan of Action adopted by the Summit is published with this year's State of the World's Children report, as is the full text of the Convention on the Rights of the Child. The report's panels describe all 22 of the specific goals for the year 2000 and show why they are now attainable and affordable.
