Convenation on the Right of the Child
Dec 6, 2011
|
|
1. States Parties shall ensure that a child shall not be separated from his or her parents against
their will, except when competent authorities subject to judicial review determine, in accordance
with applicable law and procedures, that such separation is necessary for the best interests of the
child. Such determination may be necessary in a particular case such as one involving abuse or
neglect of the child by the parents, or one where the parents are living separately and a decision
must be made as to the child's place of residence.
2. In any proceedings pursuant to paragraph 1 of the present article, all interested parties shall
be given an opportunity to participate in the proceedings and make their views known.
3. States Parties shall respect the right of the child who is separated from one or both parents to
maintain personal relations and direct contact with both parents on a regular basis, except if it is
contrary to the child's best interests.
4. Where such separation results from any action initiated by a State Party, such as the detention,
imprisonment, exile, deportation or death (including death arising from any cause while the person
is in the custody of the State) of one or both parents or of the child, that State Party shall, upon
request, provide the parents, the child or, if appropriate, another member of the family with the
essential information concerning the whereabouts of the absent member(s) of the family unless the
provision of the information would be detrimental to the well-being of the child. States Parties
shall further ensure that the submission of such a request shall of itself entail no adverse
consequences for the person(s) concerned.
