In particular that the family is the fundamental group unit of society and is entitled to protection by society and the state, and giving full rights of humanity, not to be deprived, or discrimination between him and his peers, but the Kuwaiti government has not implemented it, did not stop at the end the lack of implementation of that Convention, and other Agreements signed by, did not apply, and violate, then overtaken by

2 egap doing offenses rise to the level of intentional crime in our view, resulting in significant damage to the Kuwaiti stateless child as we'll explain below: (A) non-discrimination (Article 2) the government have characterized between the child stateless and peers Kuwaiti children and expatriates, several things touched private, where since 1987, began the implementation of a secret plan (later became public), depriving the child stateless, and since his birth, depriving him of birth certificate, which violates articles of the Convention of the Child, and other agreements, many Bedoons (stateless) remained even to this day, barred from obtaining a birth certificate, and only giving him a birth paper, do not write the name of the child in it. Then characterized between him and his peers of other vaccinations, where sanctity of immunizations and vaccines, and then when he arrived education`s age, prevent from entering the public schools, more than 50 thousand students were prevented of education since 1986, and still many of them illiterate, who could not of study in private schools as well, and every year narrowing the government to stateless, even in private schools, that do not accept these schools, who don t has a birth certificates, then as a result of pressure from civil society, created a charitable fund for education in 2004, but not for all, nor the child begins Bedoon educated (if entered private education) like other children of kindergarten, but in primary education, nor can many families educate all their children, as a result of the high cost of fees, or multiple children, and here give the family priority for the male child mentioned learning at the expense of the female. group29q8.org/video/mob http://www.alqabas.com.kw/node/239787 (B) The best interests of the child (Article 3) Kuwaiti Bedoon`s child did not quite live up to get their basic rights to obtain the best rights in its own interests.

3 egap Picture for Bedoon child says: I want my rights, till when i am stateless. (C) the right to life, survival and development (Article 6) They have made the bedoons life as a hell, specially children and women, the weakest in Bedoons, and suffering double, but deliberately government refused to allow children stateless treatment for years, until they died, like Abdul Aziz Alonan which guarantee this report video, showing the suffering of his father, a pleading government, giving him a passport, for the treatment of his son in Saudi Arabia, which ensured treatment, at the expense of the Crown prince, but the Kuwaiti government refused, until he died of the child, and this story of dozens of stories of children died because of government such as Ajwan Al Shimmery and Maryam Al-Khalidi and others. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lksflifsawg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nmnrqdwevtm http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ouknzhe4ios http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=76ajlwdei8o (D) Respect for the views of the child (Article 12) A lot of stateless children have left in protests, demanding rights, were beaten, arrested and imprisoned and there are documented video for this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tfnzq91unew https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=srlogcbwxky Civil rights and freedoms (Articles 7, 8, 13 to 17, and paragraph 2 of Article 28, paragraph (a) of Article 37, Article 39)

4 egap Children without rights (A) the registration of children at birth and give it a name and granted nationality (Article 7) The Government will tell the Commission of Child numbers of the birth certificate that were given during the last period, and here we highlight the following: that this confirms denial of birth certificates to pan Bedoons for over 20 years, and Committee should ask questions to the delegation in this regard, then the numbers that have been granted, the result of sit-ins, demonstrations, and public and civil pressure, and few numbers have the certificates compared with the total number of Bedoons children, and acted only to those government plans to take advantage of their parents in the future. thousands of children live without birth certificates bearing his name, and find the child carries more than one name proclaimed, because he has no name installed in the document, the matter temperamental, the government of committing irregularities by putting nationality of the child as it sees fit, may find 3 children brothers from one mother, one father, in one house, government put for them 3 nationalities of different countries in their records obligatory. (B) Preservation of identity (Article 8) The government has obliterated Kuwaiti stateless child's identity, and worked-out plan, and deliberate, where transformed over the years from Kuwaiti to without nationality, to a non-kuwaiti, to stateless, to a resident illegally, and attributed some to states, bedoons did not know its location on the map of the world, and caused the displacement of many, and they move as refugees around the world. (C) freedom of expression and the right to seek and receive information and diffusion (Article 13); already talking about the

5 egap suppression of children, and hitting them with smoke bombs and rubber bullets, in point d previously, video is clear. (D) freedom of thought, conscience and religion (Article 14) children of Bedoons not have rights lowest of these rights, in order to live up to this right, which is the question of thought, conscience, they did not reach her because their lives in poverty, deprivation and horror, how would he live up the idea, honorable and religion.

(G) Access to information from various sources and protection from harmful substances for the Welfare of the Child (Article 17) Kuwaiti Bedoons children live in Staggering houses and bad healthy environment result deprivation. http://www.alqabas.com.kw/node/31711

6 egap (H) The right not to be subjected to torture or other cruel, inhuman or cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment, including corporal punishment (paragraph (a) of Article 37, paragraph 2 of Article 28) Exposure bedoons who participated in the sit-ins was attacked with rubber bullets and smoke grenades and clubbing was sexual assault on some of them after their arrest. (I) Measures taken to promote physical and psychological recovery and social reintegration of child victims (Article 39). Government after the liberation of the Iraqi invasion in 1990 done it for all but recognized bedoons, and even put them under the charge of treason, and community isolation which deprived them of any features, and put them in nocturnal nightmares of prosecuting for their loved ones. The children left with memory of the invasion and the horror of bombs and Iraqi military. Family environment and alternative care (articles 5, and 9 to 11, paragraphs 1 and 2 of Article 18, Articles 19 to 21 and 25 and paragraph 4 of Article 27 and Article 39) - Calls upon States Parties, in the context of this group, to provide relevant information and updated information, including information on the principal legislative and judicial, administrative or other measures in force, with respect to the following matters: (A) family environment and parental guidance in a manner consistent with the evolving capacities of the child (Article 5) (B) the common responsibilities of parents, and help parents and child care services (Article 18) (C) Separation from parents (art. 9) (D) family reunification (Article 10) In the previous points, the Government has worked on the separation of families, so that prevented children of Kuwaiti women married to Bedoon of all rights until she divorce from her husband, resulting some families separation of the couple, in the hope of providing a better future for their children. At another point As a result of government pressure on the Bedoon, and denial, it has led to suicides, and migration out of the country, where you can find family members from the same mother and father, had become refugees in 10 countries. (E) the collection of child support (paragraph 4 of Article 27) The government do not spend on Bedoon child, even bedoons in the government military who were paid because they have children in the family, before the Iraqi invasion, the government abolished who are still

7 egap on duty in the interior and defense, forcing many children to work in the street, to secure the necessities of life, and the needs of their families, and reached to us in Kuwaiti Bedoons Movement, that there Bedoons, who have not attained the 18 years old, selling their blood and plasma once a month, to get 30 dinars (equivalent to U.S. $ 100) to live so expensive. (J) Of abuse and neglect (Article 19), including physical and psychological recovery and social reintegration (Article 39). Bedoon child live under deliberate neglect and even seen as an insect harmful and that an outsider and occupier and just pronounce the word Bedoon making some alienate him as if he had a contagious disease. A picture of Bedoon children raising plates that read what our sin?

The government passed a law more than wonderful for people with disabilities is the law (10/2010), but excluded Bedoons from the law, and lied representatives on the Human Rights Council, where I attended as chairman for Kuwaiti bedoons Movement in the review of the government on 2010. and the video recorder and located on the site of the United Nations when the delegation spokes about this law and said that the stateless are included this law, while this is not true.

8 egap Family that has disabled person, their life like hell, it increases the suffering of suffering, let alone families with more than one disabled? The disabled requires a special place and special circumstances not family-owned therefore suffering double. Has ensured above video shows nothing of the tragedy and to repeat and put it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nmnrqdwevtm http://www.alamal.com.kw/ar/news.php?action=show&id=5497 The standard of living and the measures taken, including material assistance and support programs in relation to food, clothing and housing, in order to ensure the development of the child physically, mentally and spiritually, morally and socially and to reduce poverty and inequality (paragraphs 1-3 of Article 27).

00 egap 2 pictures show 2 children dream to learn. Economic exploitation, including child labor (Article 32) with specific reference to the minimum ages applied: being exploited bedoons economically by the government that makes the works of them a lower salary of citizens and expatriates and the item rewards, not salary essential, and exploits the private sector need of during the low level of salary which is at 150 dinars per month 450 US dollars, a fifth-priced real salary and sometimes tenth salary due, not to mention carrying Bedoon humiliation and blackmail and demanding dignity is expulsion and loss of work. This works hundreds of children in difficult climatic conditions in winter and summer to secure a living and their parents.
