With reference to the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, consider the following: 1. The Right to Development 2. The Right to Expression 3. The Right to Recreation Which of the above is/ are the Rights of the child ?

The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child explicitly recognises a child’s right to survival and development (Article 6) and the right to rest, leisure, play and recreational activities (Article 31), confirming items 1 and 3 as rights under the Convention. The Convention also secures children’s ability to express themselves and have their views heard, which underpins the child’s right to freedom of expression (Article 13) — the treaty’s provisions ensure children may participate and communicate their views in matters affecting them. Therefore all three listed items (Right to Development, Right to Expression, Right to Recreation) are rights of the child under the UNCRC, so option 4 is correct.
