The most comprehensive document covering children's rights is the 1989 United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. It has been ratified by virtually every country on earth, and has been adopted as the standard for Taiwan's ongoing review of respect for children's rights on the island.
一九八九年聯合國宣布的「兒童權利公約」，是目前對兒童權利保障最完整的公約，廣為世界各國所遵行，目前台灣所使用的兒童人權調查指標也是出自此公約。
