Abstract

Both the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (1989) and the regional charter for the protection and promotion of children’s rights, the African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Child (1990), are silent on the issue of HIV/Aids directly. Nor is this particularly surprising – both were formulated before the impact of the epidemic began to be felt in the developing world, and before the implications of the disease for children could be fully understood
