CRIN - Child Rights Information Network
Since the reforms introduced by the United Nations Secretary-General in 1997, a major task for the United Nations, and in particular for the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), has been to integrate human rights into the whole of the Organization's work, including the overarching development goal of poverty eradication. In 2001 the United Nations Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights requested the Office of the High Commissioner "to develop substantive guidelines for the integration of human rights in national poverty reduction strategies". The present document is the outcome of that request.
