 The Committee's View on Children's Participation in the CRC Monitoring and Reporting Process

Although children's (direct) participation in the monitoring and reporting process of the Convention on the Rights of the Child is not a common practice, children have taken an increasingly active role in these processes. This article explores how the Committee on the Rights of the Child, as the most authoritative body monitoring the Convention, perceives children's role in this process. An analysis of the General Comments, which contain the Committee's interpretation of the CRC monitoring on one hand, and children's participation on the other, shows that the Committee takes a clear position in favour of children's participation in this process. This position is undoubtedly based on children's participation rights. The Committee, furthermore, doesn't favour any particular type of children's involvement in the monitoring of the Convention as long as the basic requirements are met. Given the Committee's general encouragement of children's direct participation in this process, it's respond to individual children's reports would be worth further examination.
