Mapping the global impact of UNCRC General comment No. 25 on children’s rights in the digital environment
This study from the Digital Futures for Children centre follows the general comment through global and national arenas, asking how the document and its guidance has spread, taken root, or encountered resistance.
It maps the legal, institutional, advocacy, and normative routes through which the general comment has begun to shape children’s digital rights around the world.
Guiding questions include:
- How has GC25 influenced the recognition, interpretation, and realisation of children’s rights in digital contexts since its adoption?
- Through what institutional and advocacy channels has it shaped laws, policies, and governance frameworks?
- How have regional and national actors adapted GC25’s principles to local contexts, priorities, and legal systems?
- What lessons from GC25’s diffusion can inform future efforts to strengthen children’s rights governance in the digital age?
