- Summary
- The following memorandum takes its inspiration from the draft UN Guidelines on Alternative Care for Children (Guidelines) which are due to be adopted on 20 November, the 20th anniversary of the Convention on the Rights of the Child. The memorandum looks at certain aspects of Albanian legislation and practice which Amnesty International believes are at variance with the standards set out in the Guidelines, and lead to human rights violations, above all, violations of the rights of children. The memorandum is not intended to be an exhaustive survey of issues related to children in, or at risk of, alternative care, but rather focuses on three areas of concern.
