Abstract

General comment No. 25 on children’s rights in relation to the digital environment, adopted by the United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child in 2021, marked a landmark development in recognising that children’s rights apply fully and equally in the digital age. It clarifies States’ obligations under the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC), and calls for comprehensive action across legislation, policy, regulation, education and corporate accountability. This report examines how the general comment was taken up and applied within the UNCRC review system between 2021 and July 2025, analysing the 79 State Party reviews since its adoption.
