Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

The "children first" principle, while advocated by Save the Children Fund and UNICEF, is not universally applicable due to cultural and practical limitations. International human rights law, like the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, omits this absolute priority.

Background:

  • Save the Children Fund (SCF) and UNICEF previously advocated for prioritizing children in relief efforts.
  • SCF's 1923 call was a global credo, while UNICEF's 1990 declaration was a strategic policy.
  • The 1989 UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, a legally-binding human rights document, notably omits any mention of prioritizing children.
