Description

Die Schweiz ratifizierte Anfang 1997 das UNO-Übereinkommen über die Rechte des Kindes. Es hebt die Verantwortung der Staaten für den Schutz und das Wohl Minderjähriger (bis 18 Jahre) hervor. In diesem wichtigen Dokument werden die Menschenrechte für den Lebensbereich des Kindes zusammengefasst. Das Übereinkommen schützt und anerkennt Kinder als eigenständige Personen mit eigenen Zielen und eigenem Willen und fordert, dass das Wohl des Kindes bei allen Entscheidungen, die es betreffen, vorrangig berücksichtigt wird. Damit wird das Kind auch als Rechtspersönlichkeit anerkannt.

La Suisse a ratifié début 1997 la convention de l’ONU relative aux droits de l’enfant (CDE-ONU). Celle-ci souligne la responsabilité de l’Etat dans le domaine de la protection des mineurs (jusqu’à 18 ans) et de l’assurance de leur bien-être. Ce texte fondamental est une synthèse des droits humains pour tous les aspects de la vie de l’enfant. La convention protège et reconnaît les enfants comme des personnes indépendantes ayant leurs aspirations propres. L’intérêt supérieur de l’enfant doit être prioritaire dans toutes les mesures qui le concernent. L’enfant devient réellement sujet de droit.

All’inizio del 1997 la Svizzera ha ratificato la Convenzione ONU sui diritti del fanciullo, che sottolinea la responsabilità degli Stati per la protezione dei minori (persone fino ai 18 anni) e per il loro benessere. Questo importante documento sintetizza i diritti dell’uomo nel contesto di vita dei minori. La Convenzione tutela e riconosce i fanciulli quali persone autonome, con obiettivi e una volontà propri, e prescrive che la considerazione del loro interesse superiore sia prioritaria in tutte le decisioni che li riguardano. In tal modo, si riconosce che anche il fanciullo dispone di personalità giuridica.

In 1997 Switzerland ratified the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. It promotes the protection and welfare of minors (under 18 years), which it declares as the responsibility of states. In this important document the human rights of children are summarized. The Convention protects and recognizes children as separate people with their own goals and their own will. It demands that the interests of the child will be given priority in all decisions related to it.
