The Committee on the Rights of the Child is facing a difficult challenge: finding a balance between effective mental health programs for children and finance. Though many larger, first-world delegations are pushing for long-term programs, these can often be much more expensive and costly. Many developing nations though want to alleviate and aid children with mental illnesses, do not have the monetary funds or economical might to implement any effective or long-lasting solutions.
Some countries suggest the idea of foreign aid. However, the delegate of Pakistan warns that though foreign aid can provide economic relief at the onslaught aiding children with mental health, it often leaves the aid-receiving country financially devastated. The delegate of Ethiopia agrees, saying that the money from “richer countries might go towards corruption instead of good.” A middle-ground that is being discussed concerns that of decreasing the stigma around mental health. This way, the problem can be tackled at its root, and those with mental illnesses will be more willing to seek help for their issues. Ethiopia suggests a bilateral system, where students of developed nations can go to developed nations to educate the general populations on mental health.
The delegate of Syria urges all other countries to try to come up with a resolution for countries like Syria, that are currently involved in warfare. “Most delegates are focused on finding solutions for children suffering from post-war trauma, but please do not forget that there are still some countries currently going through the trauma,” she states. The delegate of Canada, following Syria, also has a message for all delegates. She urges that all developed nations should put in more effort in helping out the countries that are recovering from the trauma of warfare.
Though only the first committee session, the delegate of Brazil announces in his speech that he and some other delegates already have a cluster of ideas, and urge all delegates to pass notes and contribute their ideas towards their ideas.
The Committee on the Rights of the Child is clearly moving forward at a speedy pace, and TASS Russia News Agency is excited to see what even more committee sessions will bring.
