The Organization for the Protection
of Children’s Rights (O.P.C.R) organized a 2nd
International Conference on the Child with the theme
: «The Changing Family: Vulnerability and Adaptation».
This conference was held on October 8, 9 and 10, 1992 at the Sheraton

this important international forum. Among the participating countries

children. |

at the various workshops and round tables to discuss issues related
to: |
