The Centrality of Protection (henceforth “CoP”) is fully aligned with UNICEF’s core mandate to promote, protect, respect, and defend the rights of children everywhere. The CoP, underpinned by the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) and reflected in the Core Commitments to Children (CCCs), strengthens UNICEF’s ability to deliver on its core mandate.
