ITEM 3
46th session of the Human Rights Council
Thank you, Madam President.
The World Organisation Against Torture (OMCT) welcomes the focus of this annual discussion on the Rights of the Child and the Sustainable Development Goals and recalls the importance of grounding the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in international children’s rights law and standards.
We remind the Council that the elimination of torture of children is present in the Sustainable Development Goals, under target 16.2, reflecting the absolute prohibition of torture of children enshrined in the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. It should be made a priority by member States.
