All around the world, children face various forms of exploitation, violence, and human rights violations. This study aims to analyze child rights protection within the internasional legal framework and its implementation at the national level. The main focus the study is to explore the challenges faced by countries, especially developing countries, in implementing child rights protection, as well as the role of internasional organizations in supporting these efforts. The method used is a normative juridical approach that analyzes various internasional legal instruments relating to children’s rights and how countries integrate them into their domestic legal systems. This study also conducts a comparative analysis between countries that have successfully implemented child protection and countries that face significant obstacles. The novelty of this study is due to the in-depth analysis of the discrepancies between internasional legal norms and local customs, as well as the identification of workable solutions to address these gaps. The results show that while the internasional legal framework has provided a solid foundation, implementation at the nasional level still faces various obstacles, especially development by providing strategic recommendations for policymakers and internasional organizations to strengthen child protection systems worldwide.
