Convention on the Rights of the Child, 20 November 1989

Ecuador

Declaration upon signature :

In signing the Convention on the Rights of the Child, Ecuador reaffirms ... [that it is] especially pleased with the ninth preambular paragraph of the draft Convention, which pointed to the need to protect the unborn child, and believed that paragraph should be borne in mind in interpreting all the articles of the Convention, particularly article 24. While the minimum age set in article 38 was, in its view too low, [the Government of Ecuador] did not wish to endanger the chances for the Convention's adoption by consensus and therefore would not propose any amendment to the text.
