#PhotoOfTheWeek: Children gather on a truck bed near the village of San Juan del Carmen. All children now attend school, but many also work part-time with their parents, who are labourers in the dangerous sugar cane industry. The Convention on the Rights of the Child expresses in international law the rights due every child. Article 32 recognizes “the right of the child to be protected from . . . performing any work that is likely to be hazardous.”
