Sažetak
A child is a member of a vulnerable group in societs. Children's rights are equal for all children and they cannot be denied, because they are a birthright. The most comprehensive document that deals with children's rights is the Convention on the Rights of the Child (1989). Education for human rights, namely issues of human rights, is, in Croatian schools, implemented in an integrative way through a crosscurricular theme of Civic Education. With a review of legal-normative and strategically- developmental documents, and scientific studies on human rights in the Republic of Croatia and Canada, we can see how the legal and normative documents are adopted, but strategically-developmental documents are insufficiently developed and implemented. According to the attitudes of elementary school students, there is no significant difference among students of Croatian and Canadian elementary schools when it comes to knowing their rights. Students know their rights and believe that they have been taken into account. According to the students' self-assessments, the other students are the ones who violate children's rights, and parents are considered most responsible for the protection of children's rights. The research results show the need to introduce a systematic education about human rights in schools because it affects the awareness and attitudes of students toward their rights, also, competent teachers should integrate the content on children's rights in school curricula.
