In Airteagal 3(2) UNCRC agus in Airteagal 24(1) den Chairt, tagraítear freisin don cheart atá ag leanaí chun cibé cosaint agus cúram is gá ar mhaithe lena ndea-bhail.
Article 3(2) UNCRC and Article 24(1) of the Charter furthermore evoke the right of children to such protection and care as is necessary for their well-being.
Le hAirteagal 3(1) de Choinbhinsiún na Náisiún Aontaithe um Chearta an Linbh, 1989 (UNCRC) agus le hAirteagal 24(2) den Chairt, foráiltear nach mór leas an linbh a bheith ina phríomhthosaíocht i ngach gníomhaíocht a bhaineann le leanaí a dhéanann údaráis phoiblí nó a dhéanann institiúidí príobháideacha.
Article 3(1) of the 1989 United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) and Article 24(2) of the Charter provide that, in all actions relating to children, whether taken by public authorities or private institutions, the child’s best interests must be a primary consideration.
Is sáruithe tromchúiseacha ar chearta an duine agus cearta bunúsacha iad mí-úsáid ghnéasach leanaí agus teacht i dtír gnéasach ar leanaí, go háirithe ar chearta leanaí a bheith cosanta ar gach cineál foréigin, mí-úsáide agus faillí, drochíde nó teacht i dtír, lena n-áirítear mí-úsáid ghnéasach, dá bhforáiltear le UNCRC agus leis an gCairt.
Sexual abuse and sexual exploitation of children constitute serious violations of human and fundamental rights, in particular of the rights of children to be protected from all forms of violence, abuse and neglect, maltreatment or exploitation, including sexual abuse, as provided for by the UNCRC and by the Charter.
I dteanna na gceart sin, tá sé tábhachtach a chur i dtábhacht go bhfuil cearta sonracha ag leanaí mar a chumhdaítear in Airteagal 24 den Chairt um Chearta Bunúsacha an Aontais agus i gCoinbhinsiún na Náisiún Aontaithe um Chearta an Linbh (a léirmhíníodh tuilleadh i mBarúil Ghinearálta Uimh. 25 ó UNCRC a mhéid a bhaineann leis an timpeallacht dhigiteach), ós rud é go gceanglaítear leis an dá cheann breithniú ar leochaileachtaí na leanaí agus an chosaint agus an cúram is gá a sholáthar ar mhaithe lena ndea-bhail.
In addition to those rights, it is important to highlight that children have specific rights as enshrined in Article 24 of the EU Charter and in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (further elaborated in the UNCRC General Comment No. 25 as regards the digital environment), both of which require consideration of the children’s vulnerabilities and provision of such protection and care as necessary for their well-being.
