You can find a fuller description of the Rights of the Child on the United Nations website at The United Nations website on the Convention on the Rights of the Child, and there is a useful  summary on that site at Fact sheet on the CRC.

The rights are often summarised under four main headings –  rights to survival, protection, development and participation.

However there’s a lot more detail if you start to look into this.  Here is a  fuller list of rights included in the UN CRC:
