The right to information, an integral part of freedom of expression, is protected by several provisions under international law. This chapter compares Article 13 of the Convention on the Rights of the Child with the corresponding provisions in Article 19 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. It is noted that the provisions of the latter are distinctively adult-centric, with a historically strong tendency towards protection of civil and political rights. It should nonetheless be remembered that Article 19 of the Covenant also applies to children. Article 13 of the Convention on the Rights of the Child must therefore be given its own distinctive meaning to add value to the legal protection of the child. This is even more vital for children in humanitarian crises. Child-specific legal protection of the right to information can be achieved when the right to information is combined with provisions protecting the child’s right to survival and development. Furthermore, only when children have access to information comprising three separate layers can it be safely assumed that their right to information has been made meaningful in humanitarian crises.
