Abstract
The present study sought to study the scientific structures and the implementation of child rights in Markazi province, therefore, the level of analysis is at the macro and structural levels, in such a way that all programs, actions and structures in relation to salaries The child was identified in Markazi province and then analyzed using the library-based document analysis method. The purpose of the research was to identify the strengths and weaknesses of scientific and executive in relation to child rights in Markazi province and ultimately to provide a solution for policymakers to improve the status quo.
The lack of a definite definition of the "child" and "childhood" in Iran and the scattered petty culture in the provinces, such as the Markazi province, and the gap between the definitions of various institutions, including the institution of religion, law and law, in addition to the non-conformity of each with Popular culture, the lack of power for prescribing and policy for the children's rights committees, such as the central governorate, the system of denial of child support programs and the assignment of children's rights in the province to the Chambers of Ladies and Family Governorates have led to the second priority of children's rights programs in provinces such as central province. As a result, all of these cases have led to barriers to improving the status of children's rights in Iran at the macro level and in the central province at a lower level.

Abstract
Background and aim: Health professionals have the ethical and legal duty to achieve the highest level of protection for the safety and health of children in medical interventions. Children have different mental and physical capacities depending on age, type of illness and disability. But the important point is to examine the age of the child from the perspective of jurisprudence, law and ethics. Therefore, the present article examines how the framework of Iranian law on obtaining consent from children in a variety of non-surgical and surgical interventions and determining the legal criteria for consent of the child and his or her legal guardians.
Method: This research is based on descriptive-analytical method and based on valid library documents and resources.
Results: When the parent of the child cares for his or her interests, he or she is the best decision-maker in the therapeutic process. When parents are concerned about the child's best interests, they are the best decision maker in the therapeutic process. However, in cases where the forced parent has a high risk behavior for the child and does not allow the child to take the necessary medical treatment, health professionals must apply for a permit through the Prosecutor's Office to obtain treatment.
Conclusion: Consent and agreement in children is a continuous process and in therapeutic situations depends on the child's ability and understanding of the situation. In many therapies, involving children in decision-making helps them to participate in the treatment process. It is recommended to set consent rules for the treatment of children in a variety of non-invasive and non-surgical interventions and invasive and surgical interventions.

Abstract
The wide range of legal implications of the International Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) have made it closely linked to various child-related social institutions and activities. One of the most important institutions or social activities that most children are exposed to on a daily basis is education, which is important in examining its relationship to children's rights. Accordingly, this paper presents an interpretative model of the multiple relationship between the education system and CRC with an overview of theoretical texts and research reports in the literature on child rights and implications for evaluating school performance from the child rights perspective. According to the results of this study, there is a three-way relationship between education and children's rights: education is a child's right; school is a tool for observing children's rights; and education is a subject of children's rights monitoring. The third aspect of this relationship emphasizes the need to evaluate school performance from a child rights perspective. Among the 41 articles on CRC, the right to participate, non-discrimination, defense and litigation, protection of violence, the best interests, privacy, freedom of expression, and security are fundamental rights that can be used as criteria for assessing The school's performance is in observance of children's rights and in compliance with CRC.

Abstract
Promoting the well-being of children around the world and defending their rights is the objective of the International Convention on the Rights of the Child, and the countries committed to it, have made extensive efforts to achieve this goal. However, making sure that this is done requires an evaluation of performance - how well governments adhere to their commitments and how successful they are in enforcing its provisions. In this paper, the status of child rights is based on 20 quantitative and qualitative indicators in five domains. The purpose of this article is to provide an analytical overview of the 2019 evaluation report and to identify implications for improving children's rights performance in Iran. Based on the analysis of the findings and the interpretation of the results of this report, it can be deduced that most countries have followed a similar pattern over the years, but the overall findings indicate a profound gap between the scope of action and international child rights policies in the world. Iran is ranked 100th out of 181 countries, which is not favorable. While in Iran quantitative indicators are above average, but in qualitative indicators related to "enabling environment for children's rights“ the results are very poor. This finding underscores the need to pay attention to proper legislation and enforcement in the country, to determine the best budget available for children's rights, to develop government and civil society cooperation, to focus on child participation and non-discrimination between specific groups.

Abstract
Autism spectrum disorder or Autism is a prominent contemporary psychological disorder. Patients depending on the severity of disease, suffer from functional impairment, in the areas of communication, social interaction and behavior, and generally behavioral imbalance caused serious problems for them in normal process of family and social life. The rising trend and tangible growth in the number of children affected in recent years, has sounded the need for targeted actions in the area of autism community health management. One of the most important areas that need to be addressed is the special support for children with autism based on the general principles of child rights and in accordance with the special situation of these children. At the moment, due to lack of health insurance coverage, inadequate diagnosis and rehabilitation facilities, ignoring the right to education and enjoy the conditions appropriate to the situation, necessity of establishing parent guidance and counseling system and support the living standards of children affected in their families and community, all has led serious challenges for those with autism and their families. Accordingly, the theoretical analysis of the principles of child rights with the importance of children with autism seems to be necessary to provide the infrastructure and requirements for securing the fundamental rights of these children especially in two areas of health and education in the domestic system.

Abstract
Children's rights are always subject to serious violations, so providing solutions for the substantiation of children's rights must be done in accordance with their highest interests. In addition to the mechanisms of international instruments and domestic law, non-governmental organizations can also contribute to the full substantiation of these rights due to their constructive role. in this regard child rights clinics have also been established so that they can take a serious step as a center for training and coordination of measures as well as specialized counseling. Analysis of the structure, objectives and performance of such centers can manifest their coordinating and enlightening role as an undeniable necessity. Examination of the objectives of these clinics shows that education, research, consulting services and executive measures are among their main functions. Of course, these measures also face serious challenges, such as non-allocation of funds, free services, non-participation of children in decisions related to themselves, and so on. However, children's rights clinics can create opportunities to provide scientific and practical solutions through these barriers. In line with the main issue of this study, the findings indicate that what can ensure the effective implementation of children's rights is the real cooperation of the responsible institutions with civil institutions. The present article has been written in a descriptive-analytical method with the study of domestic and international cases. A multidimensional view of the problems in the field of children, creating a new attitude of lawyers and judges to the issue of child victimization and delinquency and applying restorative justice, educating and promoting children's rights to children, parents and educators, creating a culture of entering rules to the community and creating a social attitude to Children's rights, should be at the forefront of child rights clinics.

Method: The method of discussion in this research is descriptive-analytical and the method of data gathering is library.
Results: In Iran's legal system, a review of the laws related to the current criminal policy regarding the violation of children's rights in the field of creating, publishing and distributing computer games reveals gaps and defects.
Conclusion: By examining the situation of children and their rights against computer games and studying the negative and inappropriate effects of this universal and effective technology on children it is possible to achieve a comprehensive support program containing differential criminal policies against child victimization through the use of computer games. A differential approach to substantive criminal law in the field of child safety in relation to computer games is the role that the legislature can play in protecting children and to prevent the abuse of the rights of this vulnerable group.

Method: The research approach is qualitative and multiple research methods such as documentary analysis, secondary information analysis and meta-analysis have been used to collect and analyze the findings.
Results: Findings show that children, their childhood and children's rights, as the three main pillars of childhood studies, are rapidly changing within the transformational environment of the family institution in Iran. Their least change is in the first level (1), i.e. the decrease in the population of children due to the decrease in marriage and birth rates; 2- Child development with the focus on conceptual development goes from a collectivist and family-based meaning to an individualized conceptual space, more harmful and limited to cyberspace; 3- By the evolution of children's rights from principles and materials based on the centrality of the family institution to a more individualistic law and with the reduction of cohesion and solidarity of the family institution and reducing the role of family support and supervision over children, the importance of legal structure with more precise executive provisions for children is increasing.
Conclusion: The results show that the future of children and their childhood in Iran follows the family changes towards reducing the population of children, more individuality of children, more vulnerability and isolation, increasing the importance of children's rights and refining its materials in all dimensions and up to the highest level as well as the increase in the executive guarantee of articles related to child rights.

Abstract
Background and Aim: Children's rights clinics are new, knowledge-oriented and functional entities that pursue the provision of children's rights through various means while interacting with children, parents and various institutions. This study was conducted with the aim of investigating the role of these clinics in teaching child rights courses to parents and legal guardians.
Method: The present study is of theoretical type by descriptive-analytical method and the method of data collection is library.
Results: One of the most important aspects of the existence of children's rights clinics is education and culture-building in relation to children's rights and the transfer of concepts contained in international documents and domestic legal laws and procedures around children. In order to stabilize and develop the position of child rights clinics, legal powers and platforms are needed along with the allocation of facilities and appropriate budget. Article 43 of the Law on the Protection of Children and Adolescents is one of the important platforms that have been prepared in the current laws for the connection and synergy between clinics and the judicial system and parents and especially the legal guardians of adopted children. Based on this, the judge can oblige parents, legal guardians of children and adolescents or other persons related to the case to participate and obtain a certificate of educational courses on children and adolescents law in all the stages of the proceedings.
Conclusion: Children's law clinics can play an important role in providing training courses and being a reference for legal services. Developing Article 43 of the Child Protection Law and using it to educate parents about children's rights in all proceedings related to children and even outside the judicial framework seems important and necessary.

According to the rights of the child and other international treaties, all children have the right to be protected from harm. Preventing and dealing with violence, exploitation and abuse of children is necessary to guarantee their rights in terms of life, growth and well-being. Global and transnational child protection concerns, the presence of children on the street and the emergence of the phenomenon of street children in many countries of the world, especially in developing countries including Iran, are among the serious problems of these societies. In this study, the dimensions of violence against street children have been examined considering Iran's international obligations.
Method: In this article, it is searched in a descriptive way to review the international documents and procedures of the government programs presented in the Iranian legal system for street children and provide solutions to support them.
Results: The international obligations of the Iranian government, despite the fact that it has changed, passed and amended many laws, but it faces many obstacles in the field of implementation.
Conclusion: Monitoring the strict implementation of existing laws on children, including the Labor law, the Convention on the Rights of the Child, Protection of children and adolescents, and ILO Convention No. 182, all of which have been approved, and an integrated network or system for the protection of street children which created in order to providing appropriate services to children is from the requirements of the effective support of the government in the light of international obligations.

Abstract
Background and Aim: One of the types of children's rights that is closely related to the right to life and the right to health is the right to a healthy environment. The main question of this research is what requirements are provided in international documents to support children for a healthy environment?
Method: The research method is descriptive-analytical and the data is collected by documentary-library resources.
Results: Although the Convention on the Rights of the Child does not explicitly support the right of the child to a clean environment, it contains several provisions related to the issue of environmental protection, such as the right of children to life, survival and growth, the right to the highest standards of health and the right to a decent standard of living. A clean and healthy environment is a requirement for the fulfillment of the aforementioned rights and is also a key factor in the effective implementation of the entire convention. This convention has been in place for about three decades and the World Bank has clearly stated that investing in children's health is necessary to ensure human and economic development. Nevertheless, despite the global awareness of the destructive impact of environmental destruction on children's lives and, by default, on the future of humanity, we are faced with one million seven hundred thousand children under the age of five who die each year due to environmental problems.
Conclusion: In many international documents, despite the fact that we do not explicitly and independently see children's right to a healthy environment, it can be inferred that this right is recognized in many articles. For this reason, the explicit recognition of the child's right to have a healthy environment should be considered at the global level.

Abstract
Background and Aim: The main purpose of the current research is to identify what and how the right of children to have a family is in the official documents committed by Iran at the level of the Islamic world and internationally. The current research approach is qualitative and the research method is document analysis.
Method: The current research approach is qualitative and the research method is document analysis.
Results: The findings indicate that in the field of family rights, Iran's laws, Shariah rulings and the Covenant of Children's Rights in Islam, which Iran adheres to base on Islamic-Shia culture and regional commitments of the Islamic world, The Convention on the Rights of the Child is also the reference and determining policy for children's rights at the international level or "global community", which Iran has committed to since the early 70s.
Conclusion: The results show that having a family is one of the most important and basic rights for a child and the realization of many of the child's rights depends on the institution of the family, but when the child is deprived of family for various reasons, the government is obliged to take care of the child and creating an institution that replaces the family for him; Regarding the replacement of the family, there are differences of opinion between the commitments of the Islamic world and the international level, of course, none of them can be considered absolute right or wrong, but both sides have their pros and cons, which are partially explained in the course of the text were analyzed, but definitely in the two mentioned cases, the society of Iran will be different based on its social and cultural contexts compared to the Convention on the Rights of the Child.

Abstract
Background and Aim: Protecting children is a moral consideration and a legal obligation. This study aimed to provide an operational model for the integration of child and adolescent health care programs in child rights clinics (CRCs).
Method: In this qualitative study, a targeted search for laws and texts related to child/adolescent rights in domestic websites was conducted, using keywords including child/adolescent rights, child/adolescent friendly, or child/adolescent health. After reviewing the related laws and literature of child/adolescent friendly centers, the challenges faced by these centers were determined and the operational model was presented.
Results: A review of the literature shows the establishment of child and adolescent friendly centers and also adolescent health clubs by the Ministry of Health and Medical education with the support of international organizations since 2005, as well as CRCs by the scientific association and national authority of the Children's Rights Convention of the Ministry of Justice since 2015, in Iran. However, the activity of these centers has been stopped due to the cessation of international organizations support and the lack of strategies of inter-sectoral cooperation and community participation. Despite the government's position in protecting children and adolescents in accordance with the mainstream laws and documents and the continuation of the activities of CRCs based on Article 50 of the Executive Regulations of Article 6 of the Law on the Protection of Children and Adolescents, issues such as the lack of budget allocation and the need for free legal services , the lack of monitoring and accreditation unit, as well as the lack of a link between these clinics and healthcare centers for at-risk children and adolescents, are among the challenges facing these centers. Therefore, integrating healthcare programs for at-risk children and adolescents in the CRCs and providing them with counseling and legal assistance services can be an innovative and preventive solution to ensure their health and well-being.
Conclusion: Considering the suspension of the activity of children and adolescents health centers and clubs, and establishment of the approved structure of CRCs, the management of the challenges facing these clinics and the determination of cases of referrals and services that can be provided be them are recommended by the Supreme Council of Health and Food Security with the participation of representatives of partner organizations.
