Take the pledge
to show your support for our UNCRC incorporation campaign.
Champion our children’s rights campaign for the full and direct incorporation of the UNCRC into Irish law
Our campaign for full and direct incorporation calls on the State to follow through on its commitment to children’s rights when it ratified the UNCRC in 1992. With rights in the balance across the world, Ireland can show it is a true leader on children’s rights by fully incorporating the UNCRC’s 42 rights into our legislation.
Show your organisation’s support for full and direct incorporation of the UNCRC into Irish Law and children’s 42 rights!

4. Why should my organisation take the pledge?
This is a way to show your support for our push to incorporate the UNCRC into Irish law. We believe incorporation will significantly improve children’s rights in Ireland and benefit organisations working directing with children and promoting children’s rights. Scotland’s success in incorporating the UNCRC into Law was built on the strong foundation of support from cross sectoral organisations. We want to build the same momentum here in Ireland, led by the children and young people.
