The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) is an international human rights treaty that outlines the rights of children. It was adopted by the UN General Assembly in 1989 and has been ratified by almost all UN member countries.

Regarding the rights of the child, UNCRC recognizes several rights, including the right to life, the right to education, the right to non-discrimination, the right to participation, the right to protection, and the right to development. The right to development is recognized as an essential right for children, ensuring they have access to education, healthcare, and other services necessary for their growth and well-being.

The right to expression is another important right recognized by UNCRC, which emphasizes that children have the right to express their views freely and to have their views taken into account in matters affecting them. This right also includes the right to access information.

The right to recreation is not explicitly mentioned as a separate right under UNCRC, but it is included under the right to play and leisure activities. This right recognizes that children have the right to engage in play, sports, and other recreational activities, which are essential for their physical, social, and emotional development.
