====Wandsworth’s Model United Nations General Assembly (MUNGA) theme this year is ‘A child’s right to fundamental ‘British values’, which links to the following articles on the United Nations Convention of the Rights of the child.====

====** Article 30 (Children of minorities/indigenous groups): **Minority or indigenous children have the right to learn about and practice their own culture, language and religion. The right to practice one’s own culture, language and religion applies to everyone; the Convention here highlights this right in instances where the practices are not shared by the majority of people in the country.====

====** Article 40 (Juvenile justice): ** Children who are accused of breaking the law have the right to legal help and fair treatment in a justice system that respects their rights. Governments are required to set a minimum age below which children cannot be held criminally responsible and to provide minimum guarantees for the fairness and quick resolution of judicial or alternative proceedings.==== ====Schools which take part in this year’s MUNGA programme will be involved in Wandsworth’s inter borough debating competition and Model UN General Assembly. The winners of the debating competition will win the much coveted MUNGA debating trophy, £150 book token and a place in the ESU London debate challenge final**.**====
