A/HRC/10/29 Profoundly concerned that the situation of children in many parts of the world remains critical and convinced that urgent and effective national and international action is needed, 1. Calls on the States that have not yet become States parties to the Convention and the Optional Protocols thereto to do so as a matter of priority; 2. Calls on all States parties to withdraw reservations that are incompatible with the object and purpose of the Convention or the Optional Protocols thereto, and encourages all States parties to the Convention or the Optional Protocols to establish a regular procedure to regularly evaluate the impact of their reservations to the Convention and the Optional Protocols, with a view to withdrawing them in order to ensure the fullest possible respect for the Convention and the Optional Protocols in all States parties; 3. Requests the States parties to take effective measures to ensure that their obligations arising from the Convention are given effect and comprehensively implemented through policy and legislation within their domestic systems and to review their national legislation with this aim; 4. Calls upon all States parties to systematically assess any proposed law, administrative guidance, policy or budgetary allocation that is likely to have an impact on children and their rights, taking into account the interdependence and indivisibility of the rights of the child and ensuring appropriate enforcement of their obligations under the Convention and the Optional Protocols thereto; 5. Also calls upon all States to ensure that development and evaluation of States policies on children are informed by available, sufficient, reliable and disaggregated data on children, covering the whole period of childhood and all the rights guaranteed in the Convention; 6.

Recognizing that the sufficient allocation of resources in public spending, including in primary education and basic health care, is a fundamental condition for the full realization of the rights of the child, calls upon States to make children a priority in their budgetary allocations, make resources allocated to children visible in the State budget through a detailed compilation of resources allocated to them and to take all necessary measures to ensure that children, including in particular marginalized and disadvantaged groups of children, are protected from the adverse effects of financial downturns; 8.
