All about the UNCRC

 

UNICEF (the United Nations Children's Fund) provides a nice overview of the UNCRC and answers many frequently asked questions about it. 

 

 

 

The United Nations created the UNCRC, the full text of which can be found here.  The UNCRC is based on the United Nation's Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

 

Why hasn't the US ratified the UNCRC?  Read these articles to find out.

 

Amnesty International has a thorough explaination of the controversy and the process for ratification.

 

MSNBC had an interesting article recently explaining a current clash over the Convention.
