UNICEF: At regional forum, Latin America unites to recognize children's first right - to identity
Throughout Latin America, one in six children does not legally exist because he or she was not registered at birth. That means almost 2 million of the approximately 11 million annual births in the region are not registered. How do you help the millions of children whose legal identity is not recognized because there is no record of their birth? Governments, the UN and civil society organizations from across the Latin American region are meeting here in Asunción for three days to answer that difficult question. The 1st Latin American Regional Conference on Birth Registration and the Right to Identity has been organized by the Government of Paraguay, UNICEF, the Organization of American States and Plan International. The delegates, from 18 countries, include high-level political and government authorities, technical experts and representatives of non-governmental organizations.
