The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) is a treaty that comprehensively provides for the rights of children. It sets out international standards on the provision of healthcare, education, legal and social services for children. Singapore acceded to UNCRC in October 1995, and the Inter-Ministry Commitee on the UNCRC (IMC-CRC) serves as an inter-agency platform to monitor Singapore's progress in implementing the Convention.
