Book Description
In 2002 children made history when they gathered in the United Nations to address the opening session of the United Nations General Assembly Special Session on Children in New York. It was the first time in UN history that children formally addressed the General Assembly on behalf of children. It was a landmark, the first such Session devoted exclusively to children and the first to include children as official delegates. It was evident to all who attended the Session in 2002 that "a world fit for children" would not be built without the participation of children themselves. This booklet is a report to the children on the progress the world has made in their name in the five years since.
