A/HRC/19/64 - Adequate resources for children Participants urge OIC Member States to provide necessary human and financial resources for the implementation of the CRC, including the enforcement of laws and policies. Furthermore, it is recommended that OIC Member States make expenditure on the rights of the child visible in their annual national budget. - Data Collection, analysis and dissemination Participants urge OIC Member States to establish effective tools for systematic collection, analysis and dissemination of data on the implementation of the CRC, disaggregated by age, gender, urban\rural and other relevant factors; and to use this data for the development, implementation and regular review of their laws, policies and programs and to identify child vulnerabilities, to prevent discrimination and overcome disparities. - Child social inclusion and eradication of poverty Participants expressed deep concern at poverty and its negative impact on the realization of the rights of the child and urge OIC Member States to target the elimination of child poverty and to ensure children‘s universal access to basic social services of quality and to invest in children as a high priority in their poverty reduction strategies, particularly in the context of the current economic and financial crisis, and in order to achieve the Millennium Development Goals for poverty reduction by 2015. - International Cooperation Participants recommend to States that are in a position to do so, to provide technical and financial assistance to other States in their implementation of the CRC, in the framework of bi-lateral or multi – lateral agreements, while taking into account country specific concluding observations made by the Committee on the Rights of the Child. Participants call upon Member States of the UN to provide additional financial and human resources to allow the Committee on the Rights of the Child and other treaty bodies to fulfill their mandates and call on the OIC, both Secretariat and Member States, to enhance their cooperation with OHCHR in this respect. Specific Recommendations Child participation 40 children from 10 countries held a meeting for children on 21 – 22 November and participated equally in every session of the conference on 23 – 24 November. Participants underscore the importance of promoting and supporting the participation of children in decision-making. They express their special appreciation for the contributions made by children during the Conference and for the recommendations they have put forward, which were prepared during their two day preparatory meeting. Participants strongly recommend to all OIC Member States to provide children with meaningful opportunities to express their views and to take part in the process of developing and implementing laws, policies and programmes that affect children‘s lives; OIC Member States who have not yet done so, should also consider the establishment of Children‘s Parliaments and ensure appropriate follow-up to their recommendations. Participants also recommend that OIC Member States promote and support active participation in the family, in schools and in institutions for children, taking into account the Committee on the Rights of the Child‘s General Comment on article 12 of the CRC, and the recommendation of their discussions. 43
