UN urges help for 1 billion deprived children
None
UNICEF urged the world to help the 1 billion children still deprived of food, shelter, clean water or health care - and the hundreds of millions more threatened by violence - two decades after the UN adopted a treaty guaranteeing children's rights.
On the eve of the anniversary, the UN children's agency issued a report Thursday on the challenges ahead and the accomplishments since the UN General Assembly adopted the Convention on the Rights of the Child in 1989. (AP)
