第三章 §46
本公約之簽約國遵照聯合國憲章所揭示之原則，認為承認所有人類社會成員所擁有的固有尊嚴與平等之不可剝奪的權利，才能鞏固世界的自由、正義與和平之基礎。
考慮聯合國各國國民再度確信在聯合國憲章之下，確保基本人權和人類尊嚴與價值之信心，以及在更大的自由中，促進社會進步與提高生活水準的決心。
同意承認聯合國在世界人權宣言和國際人權規約中所揭示，無論任何人不分種族、膚色、性別、語言、宗教、政治或其他信念，國民或社會背景，財產、出生或其他地位之差別，均享有上述宣言與規約所揭示之所有權利與自由。
強調聯合國在世界人權宣言中，宣稱兒童有權接受特別養護與協助的宣言。
確信家庭為社會之基本團體，是所有成員特別是兒童成長與福祉之自然環境，故應獲得必要之保護與協助，才能使其在社區中充分擔當其責任。
承認兒童應在家庭環境中，在幸福、愛情以及瞭解之氣氛中成長，才能使其人格得到充分和諧之發展。
考慮兒童應受到充分之訓練，使其能在社會中過其個人獨立生活。並應在聯合國憲章所揭示之理想精神，特別是在和平、尊嚴、寬容、自由、平等以及團隊精神之下獲得培育成長。
要留意擴充兒童特別養護工作之必要性。因為這是一九二四年有關兒童權利之日內瓦宣言，以及一九五九年聯合國所制訂之兒童權利宣言所強調，也是世界人權宣言，有關市民和政治權利之國際規約（特別是第二十三條以及第二十四條），有關經濟、社會與文化權利之國際規則（特別是第十條），以及有關兒童福祉之專門機構和國際機構之各種規程和相關文書所認同。
要留意聯合國會員大會在一九五九年十一月二十日所制訂有關兒童權利宣言所揭示「兒童之身體和精神都在未成熟狀態，因此在其出生前後應獲得包括適當之法律等特別保護與養護條文。並應留意有關兒童保護與福祉之社會與法律原則之宣言條款（特別是關於養父母以及國內與國際收養制度），與聯合國有關少年受審司法最低標準規則（北京規則），以及有關緊急狀態與武力紛爭中保護女子與兒童宣言之各條款。
在充分考慮保護兒童使其身心獲得均衡發展，並強調各國國民傳統與文化價值之重要前提下，一致認為要改善所有國家，尤其是開發中國家兒童之生活狀況，必須認識國際合作之重要性，因此同意訂定下列協定條款：

【前言】
本公約之簽約國遵照聯合國憲章所揭示之原則，認為承認所有人類社會成員所擁有的固有尊嚴與平等之不可剝奪的權利，才能鞏固世界的自由、正義與和平之基礎。
考慮聯合國各國國民再度確信在聯合國憲章之下，確保基本人權和人類尊嚴與價值之信心，以及在更大的自由中，促進社會進步與提高生活水準的決心。
同意承認聯合國在世界人權宣言和國際人權規約中所揭示，無論任何人不分種族、膚色、性別、語言、宗教、政治或其他信念，國民或社會背景，財產、出生或其他地位之差別，均享有上述宣言與規約所揭示之所有權利與自由。
強調聯合國在世界人權宣言中，宣稱兒童有權接受特別養護與協助的宣言。
確信家庭為社會之基本團體，是所有成員特別是兒童成長與福祉之自然環境，故應獲得必要之保護與協助，才能使其在社區中充分擔當其責任。
承認兒童應在家庭環境中，在幸福、愛情以及瞭解之氣氛中成長，才能使其人格得到充分和諧之發展。
考慮兒童應受到充分之訓練，使其能在社會中過其個人獨立生活。並應在聯合國憲章所揭示之理想精神，特別是在和平、尊嚴、寬容、自由、平等以及團隊精神之下獲得培育成長。
要留意擴充兒童特別養護工作之必要性。因為這是一九二四年有關兒童權利之日內瓦宣言，以及一九五九年聯合國所制訂之兒童權利宣言所強調，也是世界人權宣言，有關市民和政治權利之國際規約（特別是第二十三條以及第二十四條），有關經濟、社會與文化權利之國際規則（特別是第十條），以及有關兒童福祉之專門機構和國際機構之各種規程和相關文書所認同。
要留意聯合國會員大會在一九五九年十一月二十日所制訂有關兒童權利宣言所揭示「兒童之身體和精神都在未成熟狀態，因此在其出生前後應獲得包括適當之法律等特別保護與養護條文。並應留意有關兒童保護與福祉之社會與法律原則之宣言條款（特別是關於養父母以及國內與國際收養制度），與聯合國有關少年受審司法最低標準規則（北京規則），以及有關緊急狀態與武力紛爭中保護女子與兒童宣言之各條款。
在充分考慮保護兒童使其身心獲得均衡發展，並強調各國國民傳統與文化價值之重要前提下，一致認為要改善所有國家，尤其是開發中國家兒童之生活狀況，必須認識國際合作之重要性，因此同意訂定下列協定條款：
The States Parties to the present Convention,
Considering that, in accordance with the principles proclaimed in the Charter of the United Nations, recognition of the inherent dignity and of the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family is the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world,
Bearing in mind that the peoples of the United Nations have, in the Charter, reaffirmed their faith in fundamental human rights and in the dignity and worth of the human person, and have determined to promote social progress and better standards of life in larger freedom,
Recognizing that the United Nations has, in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and in the International Covenants on Human Rights, proclaimed and agreed that everyone is entitled to all the rights and freedoms set forth therein, without distinction of any kind, such as race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status,
Recalling that, in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the United Nations has proclaimed that childhood is entitled to special care and assistance,
Convinced that the family, as the fundamental group of society and the natural environment for the growth and well-being of all its members and particularly children, should be afforded the necessary protection and assistance so that it can fully assume its responsibilities within the community,
Recognizing that the child, for the full and harmonious development of his or her personality, should grow up in a family environment, in an atmosphere of happiness, love and understanding,
Considering that the child should be fully prepared to live an individual life in society, and brought up in the spirit of the ideals proclaimed in the Charter of the United Nations, and in particular in the spirit of peace, dignity, tolerance, freedom, equality and solidarity,
Bearing in mind that the need to extend particular care to the child has been stated in the Geneva Declaration of the Rights of the Child of 1924 and in the Declaration of the Rights of the Child adopted by the General Assembly on 20 November 1959 and recognized in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, in the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights （in particular in articles 23 and 24）, in the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights （in particular in article 10）and in the statutes and relevant instruments of specialized agencies and international organizations concerned with the welfare of children,
Bearing in mind that, as indicated in the Declaration of the Rights of the Child, "the child, by reason of his physical and mental immaturity, needs special safeguards and care, including appropriate legal protection, before as well as after birth",
Recalling the provisions of the Declaration on Social and Legal Principles relating to the Protection and Welfare of Children, with Special Reference to Foster Placement and Adoption Nationally and Internationally; the United Nations Standard Minimum Rules for the Administration of Juvenile Justice （The Beijing Rules）; and the Declaration on the Protection of Women and Children in Emergency and Armed Conflict, Recognizing that, in all countries in the world, there are children living in exceptionally difficult conditions, and that such children need special consideration,
Taking due account of the importance of the traditions and cultural values of each people for the protection and harmonious development of the child, Recognizing the importance of international co-operation for improving the living conditions of children in every country, in particular in the developing countries,
Have agreed as follows:
