Abstract Based on a review of documents filed within Periodic Review processes under the Convention on the Rights of the Child, this article explores to what degree the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child and States Parties reflect on children living in Buddhist temples or monasteries as child monks. Documents for 12 countries with traditions of child Buddhist monks are examined: Bangladesh, Bhutan, Cambodia, China, India, Laos, Mongolia, Myanmar, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Vietnam. Contextual factors that may influence whether attention is paid to these children are discussed. Recommendations for strengthening review processes are offered.

Abstract The UN Committee on the Rights of the Child has recommended that Aotearoa New Zealand ban unnecessary and unconsented surgery on intersex children. Yet, the overall number of surgeries being undertaken on the genital and reproductive organs of children remains largely unchanged. Neither is it clear how many surgeries were undertaken on intersex children and what information and explanations were given to children and their families as to why the surgery was necessary. Culturally sensitive, medical, psychosocial and legal research must inform decision-making around surgical interventions on children with variations in sex characteristics, in order to realise the rights of intersex children in Aotearoa New Zealand.
