The answer: United States of America & Somalia. That’s correct. A global children’s rights treaty ratified by every U.N. member except the U.S. & Somalia provides that children have basic rights to education, health care and protection from abuse. What an outrage that the U.S. Government will not recognize basic rights for children!
Finally, America is apparently reconsidering. President Obama is reviving efforts to have the U.S. sign onto the children’s rights treaty. It’s about time. We should be ashamed to be aligned with a country (Somalia) that has not had a functioning government in two decades in not recognizing basic rights for children. Could this be the result of lobbying efforts by industries who employ 8-9 year olds to work 12 hour shifts in dirty factories?
JC, I couldn’t agree with you more! How quickly this administration is taking us into socialism. How quickly our basic rights are being eroded. Much prayer required! Mine is going up, and a few letters as well!
