Dear Sir/Madamn,

On behalf of the Secretariat of forum for children, I would like to extend a special invitation to you and your organization to participate in the upcoming Shanghai International Forum for Children held in Shanghai, China, 19-21 September, 2007, the theme of which is Child Rights Protection and Social Responsibilities.

Children are the future of human beings and their healthy growth is the common issue for the whole world. A healthy and fair legal environment is crucial to create a favorable living environment for our children. Our forum, which is convened every two years, provides a platform, on which experts from home and abroad could exchange research findings and put forward different policies proposals. The former five forums focusing educational environment, public policies and social development, respectively, have produced active suggestions and memorandums which helped to create a sound international communication network.

This year¡¯s forum will discuss the issues of legal protection of children in modern society and responsibilities our society shall bear, such as the perfection of laws and regulations on children; the judicial protection of children and juvenile crime and delinquency; the coordination and consolidation of international convention on the rights and interests of children and domestic laws and the participation of children in the legislation and judicatories.

We sincerely hope you will join us in the Forum to share your perspectives and experiences. Let¡¯s work together to protect children¡¯s rights and interests and create a just and fair legal environment. We eagerly look forward to your kind reply.

Best regards,

Secretariat
