In other words, the Convention encourages respect for others along with childrens rights?
Yes, the Convention is explicit about the fact that young people not only have rights, but also the responsibility to respect the rights of others, especially of their parents. It states that one of the aims of education should be the development of respect for the child’s parents, and their values and culture. Rather than creating conflict between the rights of parentts and the rights of children, the Convention encourages an atmosphere conducive to dialogue and mutual respect. The issue of respect for others appears in several articles. For example, the Convention states that children have the right to freedom of expression, and the right to meet with others or to form associations. But it stipulates that in exercising these rights, they must also respect the rights, freedoms and reputations of others.
