Resolution adopted on the UN Guidelines for conditions of alternative care for children [publication]
The resolution was sponsored by Brazil, which emphasised the relevant provisions in the Convention of the Rights of the Child and re-affirmed its commitment to the principles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Brazil welcomed a further engagement by the international community in the preparation of guidelines on alternative care.
Bangladesh and Indonesia appreciated the emphasis placed on such a significant issue and provided support for the appropriateness of the guidelines. Both States raised their concern, however, that the drafting process of the guidelines had to be more inclusive, transparent and intergovernmental in the future.
The resolution was adopted by consensus.
