QUESTION OF A CONVENTION ON THE RIGHTS OF THE CHILD
Poland: draft resolution

A.
The Commission on Human Rights, 

Having in mind, the draft convention on the rights of the child submitted by Poland on 7 February 1978,
Taking into account the report of the Secretary-General on the views, observations and suggestions on the question of the convention on the rights of the child submitted by Member States, competent specialized agencies, regional intergovernmental organizations and neo-governmental organizations (E/CN.4/1324 and Corr.1 and Add.1-4), 
Taking note of the report of the Working Group set up at the thirty-fifth session of the Commission to draw up the convention on the rights of the child,
Considering that owing to lack of time it was not possible to complete work on the draft convention on the rights of the child, 
Recalling Economic and social Council resolution 1978/18 of 5 May 1978 and General Assembly resolution 35/166 of 20 December 1978 relating to the question of the convention on the rights of the child, 
Convinced that it would be desirable to adopt an international convention on the rights of the child in connection with the International Year of the Child, 

	1.	Decides to continue at its thirty-sixth session, as a matter of priority, its work on a draft convention on the rights of the child with a view to completing, if possible, the elaboration of the said convention at that session for transmission to the General Assembly through the Economic and Social Council. 
	2.	Requests the Economic and Social Council to bring to the notice of the General Assembly at its thirty-fourth session the present resolution and the relevant chapter of the report of the Commission on Human Rights on its thirty-fifth session.  
*This document incorporates the draft resolution which was erroneously published separately in document E/CN.4/L.1471.

B.
The Commission on Human Rights, 
Having in mind the fact that the General Assembly in its resolution 31/169 of 21 December 1976 proclaimed 1979 as the International Year of the Child, 

Conscious of the need further to strengthen the comprehensive care and well-being of children all over the world,

Convinced of the importance of international co-operation in this field, 

Desiring to make its contribution to the observance of the International Year of the Child and to its fellow-up activities, 

Invites the Secretary-General to consider the possibility of organizing, within the framework of advisory services in the field of human rights, a two-week seminar on the rights of the child in the light of international instruments concerning human rights and questions of their implementation and progressive development,
