Rouhani did not announce the “National Document for the Rights of Children and Adolescents”!

According to the Fars News Agency Education Reporter, Zahra Ayatollah, a member of the Cultural and Social Council of Women and Family of the Supreme Council of the Cultural Revolution, stated in a press conference of the National Document on the Rights of Children and Adolescents, which was held today at the Supreme Council building: .

He continued: “From 1979 to 1983, there was extensive research in these fields, including children’s rights, abortion, child custody, the rights of children with disabilities, the end of childhood, and so on.” Later, two or three of them became law, one of which was related to child custody.

Ayatollah added: “One of the main problems is that we did not have a general framework for children’s rights that takes into account all the different dimensions, and children’s rights were very disparate; That is why various experts in the field of children came to our aid, who were mainly people specializing in law and jurisprudence.

He said: “A scientific work was done in this field, this work took 7,500 hours of scientific work and finally a draft of it was prepared in 1995.” The authority of the Convention on the Rights of the Child and the Vice President for Women’s Affairs objected to why this document was presented to the Supreme Council of the Cultural Revolution. The then head of the Supreme Council of the Cultural Revolution replied that the document was supranational, so it could not be left to the judiciary, the executive or the legislature alone.

A member of the Cultural and Social Council of Women and Family of the Supreme Council of the Cultural Revolution, stating that 11 sessions of the special council of the Supreme Council of the Cultural Revolution were discussed, added: “One of the issues was to base this document, but because We had acceded to the Convention on the Rights of the Child and on the other hand we stipulated that it was not against Islam, so the existence of this document was necessary for us.

He explained: “The Convention on the Rights of the Child does not differentiate between gender maps, but in this document we have defined the gender values ​​of girls and boys.” Our basis has been our verses, narrations and jurisprudence; The Convention on the Rights of the Child applies to all persons under the age of 18, but in our document we distinguish between children and adolescents.

Ayatollah said: “Finally, in the winter of 1996, it was approved by a special council, then the final document was given to the Supreme Council of the Cultural Revolution;” In April 1997, Mr. Mokhber approved it, but Mr. President Rouhani did not announce it at the time, arguing that the implementation of this document was costly, and that we had acceded to the Convention on the Rights of the Child and no longer needed it.

He stated: With the presidency, Ayatollah Ra’isi, on September 11, 1400, it was ordered that this document be announced.
