This article deals with issues of the United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child, to explore how to monitor and evaluate States Parties’ compliance with the obligations they undertook when they ratified the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC). Grounded in this work to provide a conceptual framing of the Convention, through the identification of the attributes of each child’s right that provides the basis for the development measure to implement and enforcement. By contrast, children’s rights are a set of universal standards in formal entitlement to their fulfilment and corresponding obligations on those providing that guarantee. They can be measured both in terms of actions undertaken by duty bearers on behalf of children and the consequent impact of those actions in ensuring the realization of the rights in the CRC.
