Another promising initiative – the “optional protocol on communications,” aimed at enabling children and their advocates, for the first time, to bring cases before the UN Human Rights Committee – has been similarly weakened by a lack of strong support, authority, and resources. Indeed, only 14 countries have ratified the protocol since it was agreed in 2011.
另一个大有希望的计划——“可选沟通协议”（optional protocol on communications）旨在让儿童和他们的支持者向联合国人权委员会（UN Human Rights Committee）提交诉状，这是历史性突破。这一计划也因为缺少强力支持、权威和资源而大受削弱。事实上，自该协议2011年达成一致以来，只有14个国家在上面签了字。
