From May 8 to 10, world leaders, thousands of NGOs, and hundreds of children gathered at the United Nations in New York for a UN Special Session on Children, a follow-up to the 1990 World Summit on Children. The Session was intended to review progress for children over the past decade and adopt a new international plan of action for the next ten years. Human Rights Watch played a leading role during the Session and its 2-year preparatory phase in pressing for a rights-focused plan of action for children.
