Abstract
The right to the child's identity is one of the rights mentioned in the Convention on the Rights of the Child and examples are listed for it. This convention has also provided solutions to protect the right to identity; But by examining the laws of different countries, it can be seen that many countries, although they have joined the Convention on the Rights of the Child, do not pay much attention to the identity of the child. It seems that inadequacy in the laws of these countries has caused such a right for the child to be assumed in the convention. According to international research, currently the most successful method of child education is applied in Scandinavian countries (Sweden, Denmark iand Norway). Now, can the issue of identity be raised as a right for children, or is it the wrong foundation of the laws guiding Western societies, including the legalization of free sexual relations, anonymous birth, and secrecy in donating gametes and embryos has led to the recognition of this right. In the author's opinion, Islamic laws prevent the loss of the child's identity due to the lineage and sanctity of adultery, and as a result recognize this right to protect the interests of the child, and as a result, there is no need to propose the right to identity; While the western documents mention it, they do not adhere to it. This article tries to answer the question whether the right to the child's identity is considered as one of the children's rights, or is it a result of the western human rights system, which was created due to the adoption of wrong laws when there was a conflict between the interests of the child and his parents?
