A/HRC/19/64 limitation should continue for a period of time which is sufficient to allow the efficient starting of proceedings after the child victim has reached the age of majority and which is commensurate with the gravity of the crime in question. Enforcement Legislation safeguarding the rights of the child and protecting children from all forms of violence should be fully and appropriately enforced. To that effect, it should be supported by relevant institutions, including independent national institutions for the rights of the child and independent monitoring mechanisms, human and financial resources, and be accompanied by guidance to all relevant sectors and professionals. ff 5.2. Policy framework National child rights policy 1. The existence of a national child rights policy is crucial for the realisation of the child‘s right to be protected from all forms of violence. Such a policy initiates, promotes and co-ordinates processes aimed at ensuring that the provisions and principles of the UNCRC permeate all aspects of government policy and all public actions affecting children. 2. All national policies relevant to children‘s well-being (social policy, health care policy, educational policy, housing policy, etc.) should contribute to the promotion and protection of the rights of the child. Priority should be attached to policies aimed at reducing inequality, poverty and marginalisation; supporting families; addressing unemployment and income gaps; addressing social tolerance, beliefs and values that condone and sustain violence; improving social networks; facilitating social inclusion of migrants and their families. Policies and measures developed in related areas should be properly co-ordinated, and their outputs should be mutually reinforcing. 3. Policies, based on research, evidence, and children‘s own experiences, should be developed to prevent, detect and respond to violence against children. Particular attention should be paid to the protection of vulnerable groups, such as children with disabilities, gg children in or having experienced state care,hh children in foster care, abandoned children, ii unaccompanied and separated children,jj refugee and asylum seeking children, kk children belonging to minorities, children working and/or living on the street, ll children living in ff gg hh ii jj kk ll See the case law of the European Court of Human Rights including A. v. the United Kingdom, 1998, and Z and Others v. the United Kingdom, 2001, which require states to ensure adequate legal protection of children from treatment that is inhuman and degrading contrary to Article 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights.
