Yesterday, the Caribbean Regional Conference of the International Society of Family Law took place at the Trinidad Hilton, under the theme: “The Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) at 35 years—A Promise Kept or ‘A Dream Deferred’?” Convened by Senator Hazel Thompson-Ahye, Vice President of the Society of Family Law, this significant gathering brought together jurists, doctors, social workers, researchers, and other professionals from over 50 countries to examine the progress and challenges in advancing children’s rights.Her Excellency Christine Carla Kangaloo, ORTT, President of Trinidad and Tobago, urged delegates to not only exchange best practices and innovative ideas but also to generate fresh insights and strategies for addressing today’s urgent issues in child welfare. Her Excellency emphasized that the goal of a world where children’s rights are upheld is achievable—but it requires unwavering commitment and action. "We cannot give up on our children’s right to grow up in a spirit of peace, dignity, tolerance, freedom, equality, and solidarity," she stated, stressing the need to create conditions where these rights are not only upheld but actively nurtured.Mrs. Faith Marshall-Harris, the Caribbean Representative for the UN Child Rights Committee, presented her findings on the region’s efforts to implement the CRC. She called on signatories to focus on data-driven strategies and reporting to ensure meaningful progress.Her Excellency closed with an inspiring vision, wishing the conference would yield "fruit in due season" like a tree nourished by streams, with leaves that "do not wither." This powerful reminder underscores the importance of resilience and dedication as we work toward making children’s rights a realized promise, not a deferred dream.Click for more information on the International Convention on the Rights of the Child www.ohchr.org/en/instruments-mechanisms/instruments/convention-rights-child#ISFL #rightofthechild #officeofthepresidentt ...
