Dear JPR Readers,
We are proud and happy to announce that the forth issue of “The Journal of Pediatric Research” in 2024 has been published. In this issue, we present to you 10 articles, including 8 original pieces of research and 2 case reports.
The World Children’s Day is celebrated on the 20th of November to commemorate the Declaration of the Rights of the Child by the UN General Assembly on the 20th of November 1959. The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child is an important agreement by countries which have promised to protect children’s rights. The Convention on the Rights of the Child explains who children are, all of their rights, and the responsibilities of governments. All the rights are connected, they are all equally important and they cannot be taken away from children.
Children’s rights are human rights. They are non-negotiable and universal. However, in too many places today, children’s rights are being misunderstood, disregarded or even denied and attacked. Upholding children’s rights is the compass to a better world - today, tomorrow and into the future.
I would like to acknowledge the authors, the reviewers, the editorial team and Galenos Publishing House for their support in the preparation of this issue. We look forward to your scientific contributions in our future issues.
I wish all the children of the World a healthy, happy, safe and peaceful new year.
Kind Regards,
Prof. Dr. Zülal Ülger Tutar
