One of those suggestions is that there is a need for improving the cooperation between civil society and the state.The authors of this report came into a conclusion that children suffer from discrimination in all the countries such as countries in Asia,Latin America,the Caribbean,and the MENA region. Also this report also came into a conclusion that the principles of best interests of the children are nowhere fully implemented.
