About 700 Japanese children have established a network affiliated with the U.N. Children's Fund to study and tackle problems that they and children all over the world face.
Four members of the UNICEF Children's Net earlier this week emphasized the significance of the network at a Tokyo news conference, flanked by UNICEF chief Carol Bellamy and Agnes Chan, goodwill ambassador for the Japan Committee for UNICEF.
The organization, bringing together youngsters under the age of 18, aims to discuss problems affecting children from their own points of view and find solutions.
