That was told by the deputy foreign Minister of Azerbaijan Khalaf Khalafov on 14 January during open discussions of reports, Trend reports.

Khalafov told about the steps taken by the Cabinet of Ministers of Azerbaijan in the field of the children’s rights defense. He reminded that Milli Mejlis of Azerbaijan passed on 21 June 1991 the law on children’s rights defense, having initialed thus the UNO Convention on rights of the children of 1989.

According to Khalafov, the first periodical report of the Azerbaijan government suggested for the UNO Committee on children’s rights discussion in 1995 was positively assessed and new recommendations were elaborated based on it to the Cabinet of Ministers. The action plan was adopted and the working group established by the government decision.

«One of the UNO basic recommendations on the Convention implementation was translation and dissemination of its text, which was performed in the shortest possible time”, the Foreign Minister deputy noted, appreciating especially highly the activities of the Heydar Aliyev foundation on support of the growing generation.

However, according to Khalafov, it would not be correct to speak of the complete absence of problems in this field. «For today Azerbaijan resolves problems of 300,000 refugee and IDP children”, Khalafov noted, voicing approval by the support of the international structures in this field.

Deputy heads of some Ministries, deputy Prosecutor General, leaders of NGOs took part in debates.

It should be noted the UNO Committee on children’s rights 41st session started on 9 January 2006 in Vienna and will last till 27 January.
