In which year the League of Nations adopted Geneva Declaration of the Rights of Child ?
Answer: D
The Geneva Declaration was adopted in 1924.
The Declaration of the Rights of the Child, drafted by Eglantyne Jebb, founder of Save the Children, was adopted by the League of Nations in 1924 and is known as the Geneva Declaration. In five short principles it set out that children must be given the means for their normal development, be fed, nursed and helped, be first to receive relief in times of distress, and be protected against exploitation.
It was the first international human rights document on children. The UN adopted a fuller Declaration in 1959 and the binding Convention on the Rights of the Child in 1989; 1926, 1928 and 1936 are not the year of the Geneva Declaration.
