Kids represented by aging men

Indonesian children are represented by two men aged over 50 at the fourth preparatory committee (prepcom) meeting in Bali. They are Witjaksono Nuradi and Damanhuri Rosadi.

"We were appointed at the last minute back in Jakarta; it wasn't supposed to be us," Damanhuri said, explaining that although the children themselves could not go to make their voices heard, the issue of children was too important to be set aside.

As no other countries have sent representatives of their children to the meeting, the two are, in practice, representing children from around the world.
