Overview of the child rights situation

In the report, many points are not dealt with in detail. Italy is facing big problems regarding the situation of migrant children, but has already implemented children's rights in the field of education. Climate change and cooperation with other countries are not addressed. A new law concerning unaccompanied children that was co-developed by NGOs is still not implemented. Also, access to healthcare and family-type forms of placements are disparate in different regions.

Situation of children with disabilities

In Italy, children with disabilities are not segregated. But an efficient system for diagnosing disabilities is not implemented.

physical health

The Committee recommends to raise awareness about the importance of vaccinations and ensure comprehensive immunization coverage against childhood diseases.

mental health

No comprehensive system exists to monitor the state of mental health of children. Children with neuropsychiatric disorders have limited access to appropriate mental health care.
The Committee recommends to Italy to set up an effective monitoring system for child and adolescent mental health, and conduct a study on the root causes of the increase in the diagnosis of attention deficit disorder and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and the prescription of drugs to treat them.

Specific observations

The Committee recommends that the State party take measures to prevent statelessness and ensure the effective implementation of the law regulating the acquisition of Italian citizenship at birth to otherwise stateless children and adopt legislation to improve statelessness determination procedures in accordance with international standards.
Also, Italy should take measures to improve the situation of undocumented or stateless children belonging to those communities.
