Despite the fact that the terms "Discrimination" in general and "Discrimination against Children" in particular are very widely used, these two terms are not defined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR) nor in the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC).But this doesn't mean that there isn't any definition, although general/ imprecise one, of these terms in the international human rights instruments.
In different and various documents that deal with discrimination in specific concepts and certain issues have developed as well as various definitions of the term "Discrimination" but from the same perspective are presented. Through a comprehensive comparison, and much abstraction and then abolish the separate definitions of the feature definitions, can be the general definition - that credit can be claimed by international system of human rights-achieved.
This article will first review definitions of the term "Discrimination" in particular human rights documents, then explore the role of human rights supervisory institutions, in explaining the principle of non-discrimination and will finally proposes a definition for the term "Discrimination against Children" and explain the four components and constraints of this proposed definition.
