The phenomenon of child labor is one of the social harms whose emergence and expansion result from a range of complex and intertwined social and economic factors. Simultaneously, it also generates further social harms. The aim of this study is to examine the civil rights of working children as articulated in international documents and Iranian law. This research is of a fundamental and theoretical nature, and the method of data analysis is descriptive-analytical, based on qualitative methodology. Data were collected through documentary and library research. Findings indicate that the civil rights of working children in both international instruments and Iranian law are shaped by a set of laws and conventions aimed at protecting children's rights and preventing their exploitation. Despite the existence of comprehensive legal frameworks, serious challenges remain regarding the effective enforcement of these rights, especially in countries where poverty and social inequality are widespread. In Iran, although national laws address the protection of working children's rights, there is a recognized need to strengthen supervision, raise public awareness, and enhance international cooperation to improve the condition of these children. Therefore, the actual realization of the civil rights of working children requires joint action by governments, non-governmental organizations, and civil society to create a safe and supportive environment for their growth and development. Based on the findings of this study, it is recommended that Iran pay greater attention to international cooperation in the field of children's rights. Participation in global programs and projects can facilitate the exchange of experiences and best practices, thereby contributing to the improvement of the situation of working children in the country.
