Abstract: Children constitute an integral component of society, with the fundamental right to life from which numerous protective rights emanate, preparing them to fulfill their societal duties. Throughout history, children have been referred to by various terms, including minor, juvenile, young boy, and ward Notably, children of unknown parentage face deprivation of a vital aspect of human existence- identity and lineage- thus impeding the establishment of their personality and their full entitlement to civil, social, and cultural rights. This scenario starkly contrasts with children whose lineage is known, prompting an investigation into whether children of unknown parentage receive protection under statutory laws and international conventions.
