Today, at the workshop for children and youth “Know your rights” which the Institution organized to celebrate International Human Rights Day, the Protector of Citizens, Mr. Zoran Pašalić, has underscored that human rights protection starts with the protection of children and that involving children and youth in decision making concerning their rights is necessary.

“Solving the problems that an individual or a certain group have in everyday life means human rights protection. Human rights protection starts with the protection of children’s rights and that is why it is necessary to hear what the youth have to say about the problems they face,” Mr. Pašalić said at the workshop organized by the Protector of Citizens’ Sector for Child Rights within regular meeting of the Protector of Citizens’ Youth Advisory Panel which includes 30 children and young people from all parts of Serbia.
