Overview of the TREC 2022 NeuCLIR Track

This is the first year of the TREC Neural CLIR (NeuCLIR) track, which aims to study the impact of neural approaches to cross-language information retrieval. The main task in this year's track was ad hoc ranked retrieval of Chinese, Persian, or Russian newswire documents using queries expressed in English. Topics were developed using standard TREC processes, except that topics developed by an annotator for one language were assessed by a different annotator when evaluating that topic on a different language. There were 172 total runs submitted by twelve teams.Comment: 22 pages, 13 figures, 10 tables. Part of the Thirty-First Text REtrieval Conference (TREC 2022) Proceedings.

21 Years of the Convention on the Rights of the Child: A Coming of Age?

In 2010, the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC)[1] reached the age of 21, and arguably, 'came of age'. The Children's Convention was not the first international instrument that attempted to protect the rights of the child however. 1924 saw the enactment of one of the first legal instruments to explicitly recognise that children, as human persons, ought to enjoy certain inalienable rights. It was recognised that children are often the first and hardest impacted upon in times of conflict or economic hardship. [1] Convention on the Rights of the Child, G.A. res. 44/25, annex, 44 U.N. GAOR Supp. (No. 49) at 167, U.N. Doc. A/44/49 (1989), entered into force Sept. 2 1990.
