Call for papers on “Special Issue on the 30th anniversary of the Convention on the Rights of the Child”
The year 2019 corresponds to the 30th anniversary of the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC). The CRC was adopted by the General Assembly of the United Nations on November 20, 1989 and signed by all Member States. This is the first legally binding code of child’s rights.
Japan also ratified it in 1994. That means, for Japan, 2019 is the year for the 25th anniversary of the CRC. Celebrating this special occasion, the Pediatrics International will publish the “Special issue on the 30th anniversary of the Convention on the Rights of the Child”. The four core principles of the Convention are non-discrimination; devotion to the best interests of the child; the right to life, survival and development; and respect for the views of the child. We believe that every right spelled out in the CRC should be thoroughly respected. However, we face a lot of challenge against the right s of the child and need discussions on it.
Thus, we invite a variety of articles including original articles dealing with CRC, viewpoint articles dealing with opinion to CRC and review articles.
The submission will be open by the end of August, 2020.
Please submit via online submission system https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/ped with cover letter clearly notifying that the manuscript is for the Special Issue of “the Convention on the Rights of the Child”.

This special issue of Pediatrics International has been produced and published to record school health promotion accomplishments in Japan and Asia achieved through the cooperative efforts of the Japan Pediatric Society and Japanese Consortium for Global School Health Research (JC-GSHR). Since 1989, when the national school doctor system was established, the Japan Pediatric Society has been a leader in promoting school health in Japan. It has encouraged professionals involved in school health research and practice to share their experiences, ideas, and achievements. The Japanese Consortium for Global School Health Research (JC-GSHR) was set up in 2010 as a think tank and a hub for international school health networks. With membership consisting of pediatricians, epidemiologists, and health education, physical education, and global health professionals, JC-GSHR is working towards the appropriate implementation and dissemination of school health programs in low- and middle-income countries.
This special issue aims to report how the school health system was established in Japan. It also aims to report school health promotion achievements in limited resource settings, such as in low- and middle-income countries in Asia and Africa.
