a child is any person below the age of eighteen years
childhood is an integral part of life with a value of its own
children are not a homogenous group and their different needs need different responses, especially the multi-dimensional vulnerabilities experienced by children in different circumstances
a long term, sustainable, multi-sectoral, integrated and inclusive approach is necessary for the overall and harmonious development and protection of children

Reaffirms that:

every child is unique and a supremely important national asset
special measures and affirmative action are required to diminish or eliminate conditions that cause discrimination
all children have the right to grow in a family environment, in an atmosphere of happiness, love and understanding
families are to be supported by a strong social safety net in caring for and nurturing their children
