Summary/Abstract: The study, devoted to the rights of the child topic at the 20 the anniversary of the United Nations Convention, shows the main moments with the development of the protection of the rights of the child, at universal and regional, European, levels, from the legal and the institutional framework down to present orientations, ways of action, strategies and significant programmes. On examining this evolution, as well as the real situation of children, a vulnerable category in general and particularly under the circumstances of the economic crisis, the author concludes that, despite the progress achieved so far, the protection of the rights of the child still has a long way to go, which implies the need for massive, constant and conjugated efforts.
