1 The current NGO Group for the Convention on the Rights of the Child, a coalition of NGOs based in Geneva, got its start during the drafting of the Convention (1983-1989) as the NGO Ad Hoc Group on Drafting a Convention on the Rights of the Child. The Group reorganized in 1990, with the goal of facilitating the work of the Committee. One of their projects is an outreach to national NGOs involving the encouragement of national NGO coalition-building to monitor national implementation of the Convention. The 1997 Stockholm Conference on Sexual Exploitation was another example of the NGO Group’s undertakings.
