The Government of Maldives is committed to improving the domestic legislative framework to safeguard the rights of vulnerable groups in the society. Ensuring the protection of the rights of the children is a key priority of the Maldives, and the new Child Rights Bill in the legislative agenda of the Government, would comply with the Maldives international obligations under CRC. However, ratification of the additional protocols burdens the work of the State. The Government however, reiterates its commitment to promoting the rights of children, and would focus on establishing such procedures.
