There is so much mis-information and lies being spread about the UN CRC. First of all many national religious organizations in the United States and NGOs working on behalf of children support ratification. Thousands of people around the world are working to implement the provisions of the treaty in their respective countries.
For a complete and rational analysis of the issues surrounding this convention please go to this Harvard Law school web site.
The propaganda being circulated by Parentalrights.org is meant to drive money into the hands of Washington attorneys and lobbyists. If you are going to blog about the UN CRC please get your facts straight from unbiased sources. The UNICEF page for example. Here are other sources of accurate information about child rights.
