16 June, proclaimed as Day of the African Child, is commemorated each year with a selected theme. Also worthy of note is the participation of NGOs which organize cultural events for the benefit of children experiencing family difficulties. In the area of infrastructure:  800 youth centres were created throughout the national territory ;  8 traditional wrestling arenas were created in the 8 regions of the country;  Some thirty youth and cultural centres were created at the local and regional levels;  7 mini sports complexes were built in each regional capital;  A multipurpose stadium and a conference centre were built in Niamey. Some private institutions also contribute in this regard: for example, the Franco-Niger cultural centre, the American cultural centre, the Arab Libyan cultural centre, with facilities for reading, conferences and youth recreational activities. VIII. SPECIAL PROTECTION MEASURES a) Children in emergency situation a. Refugee, returnee and displaced children (articles 23 and 25) a1. Legislative, administrative and judicial measures In the absence of applicable national legislation, Niger ratified a number of international conventions, including:  the United Nations Convention of 28 July 1951 on the status of refugees, as amended by the protocol of 31 January 1967 ;  the Convention of the Organization of African Unity of 10 September 1969 which deals specifically with the situation of refugees at the regional level;  the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child;  the African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Child. a2. Limitations As this phenomenon is little known in Niger, the only constraint is linked to the problem of cohabitation between indigenes and settled refugees. On account of the assistance they receive from the State and international institutions, the refugees are considered as privileged. a3. Achievements In refugee settlement areas, the State has set up camps to receive them. The camp has houses, a socio-educative complex, schools and training workshops. The High Commission for Refugees also supports the management of these refugees. b. Children in armed conflicts (article 22) 35
