This is to search for your opinions on birth registration while the Convention on the Rights of the Child (Art.7) and the African Charter on Rights and Welfare of the Child (Art.6) insist that birth registration must be done immediately at birth and the African Committee of Experts on the Rights and Welfare of the Child esteem it should easily be applied by hospitals where nativity happens often but in some places on the planets, there are still nonregistered children. What can be done?
Still waiting for your opinion to help the world increasing the rythm and techniques used in the implementation of the child's right to birth registration as long as an nonregistered child does not legally exist
How can humanity avoid child marriage while most of children do not have birth certificate?
Dear Doctor
"What is birth registration?
Birth registration is the process of recording a child’s birth. It is a permanent and official record of a child’s existence, and provides legal recognition of that child’s identity.
At a minimum, it establishes a legal record of where the child was born and who his or her parents are. Birth registration is required for a child to get a birth certificate – his or her first legal proof of identity.
Not only is birth registration a fundamental human right, it also helps ensure that children’s other rights are upheld – like the rights to protection from violence, and essential social services like health care and justice. The information collected from birth registration records helps governments decide where and how to spend money, and what areas to focus on for development programmes, such as education and immunization.
What is the difference between birth registration and a birth certificate?
Broadly speaking, birth registration is the process of officially logging a birth with a government authority, and a birth certificate is the paper issued by the state to the parent or caregiver as a result of this process. A birth certificate proves that registration has occurred.
Birth registration and birth certificates ideally go hand in hand. However, because the processes for issuing birth certificates can vary depending on location, a child might be registered but never receive a birth certificate."
In the UK, a child's birth must be registered. Then there are other monetary things that can follow:

It just seems to the normal thing that everyone does.
If birth registration takes a place just at birth time it therefore done in hospitals where birth are received. What else of countries in their positive law do not permit birth registration in hospitals?
