Although children's rights are always and everywhere emphasized, in practice there is still not enough good and high-quality implementation of their protection. This problem is particularly visible in the Republic of Croatia, but also in many world countries, especially underdeveloped ones. Despite the fact that some new laws and regulations are constantly being passed, too little attention is still paid to their compliance. All these laws put the child in the center and emphasize his rights, interests and well-being. After birth, every child has its own rights and freedoms, but due to its insufficient maturity, there is a need to highlight the protection of these rights and freedoms. The Convention on the Rights of the Child, which is, on a global level, a fundamental document in this area, also goes in this direction. This Convention places the child in the center, i.e. it sees him as a subject who has certain rights, and not only as a person who needs special protection. The Republic of Croatia still lags behind many countries in the world in the area of protecting children's well-being, rights and interests because, although there are visible changes in the quantity of laws in this area, the quality of implementation of the practice is still insufficiently recorded.
