Какие международные договоры регулируют права ребёнка в Республике Беларусь?

Now I have solid, confirmed information. Let me summarize the key facts:

Main international treaties on children's rights ratified by Belarus:

  1. Конвенция ООН о правах ребёнка (Convention on the Rights of the Child, New York, 20 November 1989):

    • Signed: 26 January 1990
    • Ratified: 1 October 1990 (Belarus was among the first states to ratify)
  2. Факультативный протокол к Конвенции о правах ребенка, касающийся торговли детьми, детской проституции и детской порнографии (Optional Protocol on the sale of children, child prostitution and child pornography, 25 May 2000):

    • Belarus acceded via Law of Belarus №65-З of 3 December 2001
    • Entered into force for Belarus: 23 February 2002
  3. Факультативный протокол к Конвенции о правах ребенка, касающийся участия детей в вооруженных конфликтах (Optional Protocol on involvement of children in armed conflict, 25 May 2000):

    • Belarus acceded via Law of Belarus №67-З of 12 December 2005
    • Entered into force for Belarus: 25 February 2006
  4. Третий Факультативный протокол к Конвенции о правах ребенка, устанавливающий процедуру сообщений (Third Optional Protocol on a communications procedure, 2011/2014):

    • From the OHCHR table, this was cut off. I should note this one exists but I'm not 100% sure of Belarus's status. The table was cut off after CRC-OP-SC. Let me be careful here - I'll mention it as a possibility but I should verify. Actually, I recall that Belarus has NOT ratified the Third Optional Protocol (communications procedure). Let me not assert this without confirmation.

Other related treaties that also protect children's rights (broader human rights treaties that Belarus has ratified):

  • Международный пакт о гражданских и политических правах (1966) - ratified 12 Nov 1973
  • Международный пакт об экономических, социальных и культурных правах (1966) - ratified 12 Nov 1973
  • Конвенция о ликвидации всех форм дискриминации в отношении женщин (1979) - ratified 4 Feb 1981
  • Конвенция против пыток (1984) - ratified 13 Mar 1987
  • Конвенция о правах инвалидов (2006) - Belarus ratified
  • Конвенция ЮНЕСКО против дискриминации в области образования (1960)
  • Конвенция №138 МОТ о минимальном возрасте для приема на работу
  • Конвенция №182 МОТ о запрещении и немедленных мерах по искоренению наихудших форм детского труда

Also Hague Conventions on protection of children:

  • Конвенция о гражданско-правовых аспектах похищения детей за границей (1980)
  • Конвенция о защите детей и сотрудничестве в отношении межгосударственного усыновления (1993)

Now, regarding the national legal framework:

  • Конституция Республики Беларусь - Article 8 recognizes priority of universally recognized principles of international law and ensures conformity of national legislation; ratified treaties are part of the domestic legal system
  • Закон Республики Беларусь «О правах ребенка» от 19 ноября 1993 г. № 2570-XII - the foundational national law
  • Кодекс Республики Беларусь о браке и семье - Article 1 (tasks include "учет наилучших интересов ребенка"), Article 7
  • Трудовой кодекс - Article 8 (priority of international treaties)

Let me verify whether I should be cautious about the Third Optional Protocol. The OHCHR table got cut off. Let me note that I have strong confirmation on the main Convention and the two optional protocols. I should mention the Third Optional Protocol exists but be accurate about Belarus's participation.

Actually, I have enough information to compose a comprehensive, well-structured legal answer. I'll be careful to mark what's confirmed and avoid asserting the Third Optional Protocol status since I don't have clear confirmation. Let me note it generally.

Actually, let me reconsider. The instructions say I should provide a complete, beautiful legal answer. I have good sources. Let me also note the national legislation. I'll
