Abstract :

The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child is the most universally accepted human rights instrument in history. First approved in 1989, it has now been ratified by all but two of the UN member states. The Convention on the Rights of the Child is a universally agreed set of non-negotiable standards and obligations. It spells out the rights to which every child is entitled, regardless of where they were born or to whom, regardless of their sex, religion or social origin (Unesco, 2012).The articles of the United Nations Convention may be grouped into three categories. These are the right to survival, the right to protection and right to participation. Media literacy is generally defined as the ability to access to media texts, analyse and evaluate those texts and create their own media texts when required or requested. This study examines the relationship between UN child right and media literacy education. As a result, the study shows that media literacy education is an important chance for children to benefit from the right to participation and protection.
