The official complaint is presented at a press conference at Unicef, the UN agency working on children's rights.
Ove Bring believes that it will have no legal consequences, but rather is a way to attract attention.
- It requires some attention only to the fact that it (the complaint) comes to fruition, but it is not within the normal scope of the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child to answer such comprehensive questions about all governments. I see it as a symbolic action to get attention on an important issue, he says and continues:
- It will not have any legal effects.
"It is not uncommon"To help, young people have hired a law firm that specializes in human rights, but that's not very unusual, according to Bring.
- I doubt this law firm that they have hired will be successful in that regard. There are many law firms in the United States that work voluntarily without remuneration (pro bono) and who engage in precisely this type of question. It is not uncommon, but there is no evidence that it is a legal issue in itself, he says.
