Into the book
Every child, man or woman, should be able to fully enjoy his or her rights.
I hope my story shows that if we come together and support each other, we can help make the world a better place.
Whoever we are, whether we are adults or children, we all have a role to play.
--- p.13, from the text “Recommendation”
Human rights are the highest law.
It is also called freedom.
Human rights mean that everyone has the right to be treated equally and fairly, and they help make the world a better place.
Human rights are grounded in values like truth, fairness, equality, and safety—in other words, in our thoughts and feelings about how we can live together in harmony.
--- p.22, from the text “What this book is about and why it is important”
So, it's good to talk about children's rights openly and often.
This way, everyone can understand what children's rights are and how to protect them.
The more people you know, the more children's rights can be protected as intended.
--- p.33, from the text “Happiness is the feeling I get when my rights are properly exercised.”
The Convention on the Rights of the Child states that all children's rights are equally important and interconnected.
This means that your 'right to play' is just as important as your other rights, including your right to an education.
It's a wonderful, eye-opening story, but it's also a bit strange, isn't it? It's about how you need all those rights to have a full childhood.
--- p.43, from the main text of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child
Without official status, you are invisible to the law.
Then life becomes less safe.
Did you know that nearly half of children under the age of five worldwide have no official identity?
There are 290 million children under the age of 18 without official status!
--- p.61, from the text “Status”
Shocked by this fact, Autumn began to shout that everyone had the right to drink clean water.
After that, Autumn gave numerous speeches in front of people, and at the age of twelve, she criticized the Canadian Prime Minister and spoke to world leaders at the United Nations.
Her fight for the right to clean water for indigenous peoples around the world has earned her numerous significant awards and was a finalist for the 2022 International Children's Peace Prize.
--- p.80, from the text “Rights as Minorities and Indigenous Peoples”
Worldwide, more than 500 people lose their lives to gun violence every day.
In the United States, regulations are lax, so virtually any adult can own a weapon.
In fact, less than half of all states in the United States have laws requiring people to store their guns safely.
Can you believe it? Every year, more than 1,400 American children die from gun violence.
--- p.103, from the text “Protection from Weapons and War”
Grooming is the act of influencing others to do bad things for your own benefit.
Grooming perpetrators target children (and adults) to create false trust and alienate them from family and friends.
They wield power, pretend to be on your behalf, or say they want to help, but they really don't.
--- p.122, from the text “Privacy”
Malala started a campaign to give girls access to education when she was eleven years old.
At first, I wrote anonymously on the BBC blog.
Then I started speaking publicly to the press.
The Taliban, displeased with the attention she received, shot her in the head when she was fifteen.
Fortunately, she survived and continued fighting after recovering from her wounds.
--- p.138, from the text “Education”
You have the right to express your opinion, but having that right does not make hate speech acceptable.
Hate speech is when you say something malicious about a specific group of people that encourages others to harm that group of people.
--- p.152, from the text “Expression”
For example, if you look at the textbooks produced by the Russian government in 2023, they are full of propaganda describing Ukraine from a Russian perspective.
Russia has ordered teachers in schools in occupied Ukraine to adopt the textbooks.
They forced them and if they didn't listen, they sent them to jail.
--- p.168, from the text “Investigate and check the facts”
Now that you've learned about children's rights, teach them to adults too.
Adults also have the right to know about children's rights, but they are likely unaware of them.
Remember how I said most governments don't do a good job of informing people about children's rights? So, it's not the adults' fault.
--- p.181, from the text “Please Teach Adults”
Ireland's Colm O'Golman was sexually abused by a priest as a child.
I felt like I couldn't tell anyone, and all I could do was blame myself.
It wasn't until he became an adult that he decided to report it to the police.
It was later revealed that the pastor had abused many children and that the church knew about it.
Com fought for justice.
I hope my story shows that if we come together and support each other, we can help make the world a better place.
Whoever we are, whether we are adults or children, we all have a role to play.

Publisher's Review
Knowing your rights gives you the power to change the world!
For all children and youth in the world
Amnesty International's Children's Rights Guide: "These Rights Are Your Rights"
Children's Rights: A Promise No One Can Take Away
All children and adolescents have equal rights from the moment of birth until they reach legal adulthood.
This is a special right that only children and adolescents have, not adults, and it is a universal human right that no one can infringe upon.
196 countries around the world, agreeing on the importance of children's rights, signed and ratified the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, pledging to uphold it.
However, in many countries, children's rights are still not sufficiently known or properly protected.
The government promises to educate both children and adults about children's rights, but it doesn't seem to care, and some adults are uncomfortable with children and adolescents asserting their rights.
As a result, there are many cases where children and adolescents themselves do not know exactly what rights they have.
If you don't know what rights you have, it's difficult to assert them.
An Easy and Fun Guide to Children's Rights
In this reality, the international human rights organization Amnesty International has published a children's rights guide for children and adolescents (as well as adults) to help them learn for themselves what rights they have and how to protect them.
Niki Parker, a writer and Amnesty human rights education activist with a deep interest in human rights and children's rights, has explained the key contents of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, which can be difficult to understand, in friendly and easy-to-understand language. Author and artist Sue Cheng, who won the Best Young Adult Book Award at the Diversity Book Awards for her novel Chinglish in 2020, has added vivid and fun illustrations to create a wonderful guide to children's rights.
Also included in the book's introduction is a message of encouragement for children and youth from actress and human rights activist Angelina Jolie, and a recommendation from Afghan journalist Zahra Joya, who never gave up her passion for learning even under Taliban rule.
Furthermore, the various examples of children and adolescents who courageously took action to protect children's rights instill confidence in children and adolescents who read this book, believing that "I, too, can take action to change this world."
This book consists of five parts.
Part 1 explains the concepts and history of human rights and children's rights, and the significance of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.
In Part 2, the contents of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child are organized into 15 rights to make them easier to understand and remember.
We explain each right, discuss whether it is being properly protected, and what we can do.
It also provides real-life examples of children and young people taking action for their rights.
Part 3 contains information on what you need to do to take action to protect children's rights.
It discusses how to develop a plan of action, find allies, and build solidarity, and presents several ideas for effectively expressing your opinions.
Part 4 talks about the importance of safety.
It explains what to be mindful of when taking action for your rights, how to protect your physical and mental safety, and what to do if you are injured.
Part 5 contains useful vocabulary related to children's rights and information on children's rights organizations around the world.
Happiness is the feeling I get when my rights are properly exercised.
This book also raises meaningful questions for Korean society.
Are children's rights functioning properly in South Korea? When we think of environments where the rights of children and adolescents are not properly protected, we often think of impoverished countries.
What about South Korea, a country that's joined the ranks of advanced nations and is creating a global K-culture craze? After reading this book and gaining a thorough understanding of children's rights, it's hard to confidently say that children's rights are adequately protected in South Korea.
In the fierce competition for college entrance, the rights of children and adolescents are easily ignored or neglected, and children and adolescents learn to win in the harsh competition for grades rather than learn to unite with one another to protect their rights.
Because they do not have the opportunity to properly learn and think about their rights, they are also clumsy in wisely asserting their rights.
Can children and adolescents who grow up without their rights respected respect others as adults? In this book, the author states, "Happiness is the feeling you get when your rights are properly exercised."
Can a society filled with adults who grew up without feeling the happiness of having their rights properly exercised as children really be a healthy society?
A society where all members can confidently assert their rights and where people care for one another and work in solidarity to ensure that no one is excluded from human rights.
That is the kind of society we are aiming for.
And the first step toward such a society is children's rights.
In 'Opening the Book', Angelina Jolie says:
“This book will teach you what you can do for yourself when you are unprotected, and how you can work with your friends to help other children and young people around the world.
Even though you are young, when you join forces, you create a force that no one can stop.”
This book goes beyond simply explaining children's rights, and includes examples of many children and young people who have taken action to protect their rights and changed the world.
These are examples of children who courageously took action themselves rather than waiting for adults to create an environment where children's rights are respected.
Adults often say, 'Let others do that for you and focus on your studies.'
But human rights are not something that can be left in the hands of others or postponed.
A society where human rights are not protected cannot be healthy.
This book, delivered by Amnesty International, is a human rights textbook that all children, youth, and adults in Korea should read and discuss together, and will serve as a stepping stone toward a more equal and happier society.
