This document summarizes children's rights from the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. It outlines that signatory governments must uphold children's rights, such as the right to meet together and join groups. However, the Convention also discusses the responsibilities of children, including respecting the rights of others, especially parents. The document provides examples of how children's responsibilities are linked to their rights, such as taking care of the environment if they have a right to a clean environment.
