International child rights institute

The International child rights institute is a Swiss private law foundation that carries out numerous awareness-raising activities to promote children's rights and enforce the Convention on the Rights of the Child.
It is a recognised training centre for children's rights for all professionals working for and with children in Switzerland and abroad, and a scientific centre solicited by numerous networks of experts and institutions working for the respect of children's rights.

The IDE has three main lines of action:
- Train professionals working with and for children, so that children's rights are better known, respected, and implemented.
- Raise public and professional awareness of the existence, content, and requirements of children's rights as defined in the Convention, its three Additional Protocols and other relevant international treaties and documents.
- The development of teaching materials and the publication of scientific papers.
