Legal Issues of Improving the International System for Protecting Children's Rights from Digital Danger

The article explores international and regional mechanisms for protecting children's rights in the context of digitalization, focusing on information threats on the Internet. The author provides a comprehensive analysis of key international instruments, including the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, the Budapest Convention on Cybercrime, the Lanzarote Convention, and the EU Strategy on the Rights of the Child (2021–2024). The paper highlights the fragmented nature of existing legal regulation and argues for the development of a universal legal instrument to safeguard children’s digital rights. The importance of implementing digital literacy standards and institutionalizing General Comment No. 25 of the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child is emphasized. Recommendations are proposed to improve the international response system to digital threats in order to ensure effective legal protection for minors.
