The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child

Children have the right to good quality health care, clean water, nutritious food and a clean environment so that they will stay healthy. Richer countries should help poorer countries achieve this.

Globally 3.9% of all children die before reaching the age of five, which means that on average 15,000 children die every day.
