THE United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child is a human rights treaty which sets out the civil, political, economic, social, health and cultural rights of children.
Around 140 countries are signatories to the convention, including the state of Israel. The government of Israel has been criticised however by Unicef for stating that it is not applicable to children in the West Bank, which it has occupied since June 1967.
In the eyes of the convention anyone under the age of 18 should be treated as a child, yet this is not the case for Palestinian children arrested by the Israeli military in the West Bank.
