Article 31 of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) has long been called "the forgotten article" of this important document. This special issue of IPA's PlayRights Magazine tells the story of how IPA worked with the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child and other international partners to shepherd in the creation of the General Comment (GC#17). This document, now ratified, gives an in depth explanation of the importance of the right of all children to play, engage in arts and culture, and other attributes outlined in Article 31.
