Guidance on UEBT Standard Principle 6: Child rights

 
 

The UEBT standard promotes child rights and strives to address child labour.

Criterion 6.2 of the UEBT standard focuses on child rights. The UEBT standard aligns and recognises child rights as established in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC, 1989) and International Labour Organisation (ILO) Conventions such as ILO Conventions 138 and 182. 

This factsheet gives guidance on how to ensure child rights, including concrete tips and examples for companies and their suppliers for compliance with UEBT requirements on child rights.

It is part of a series of technical guidance documents, meant to support the implementation of key issues of the UEBT standard. It was developed with the support of the BioTrade facilitation programme, UNCTAD.  UEBT and UNCTAD acknowledge the financial contribution of the Swiss State Secretariat of Economic Affairs (SECO).
