"The United States is one of only two countries in the world that have not ratified the UN COnvention on the Rights of the Child. Somalia - a country without an internationally recognized government - is the other.
The UN COnvention on the Rights of the Child, adopted by the UN General Assembly on November 20, 1989, includes the following provisions:
- right to life
- freedom from discrimination
- freedom from military recruitment
- protection in armerd conflicts
- protection from torture or cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment
- freedom from arbitrary deprivation of liberty
- special treatment within the justice system
- rights to education, health care, an adequate standard of living
- freedom from economic exploitation and other abuse
Signed by 191 states, it is now the most universally ratified treaty in history. In 1995 the US signed it BUT - not for the first time in its history regarding international agreements - has neither sent it to the US Senate for ratification nor revealed any plans to do so.
One of the problems, according to its US government opponents, is that the Convention uses the word "rights" instead of "wellbeing" when referring to children. They rather disingenuously argue that the US shouldn't agree to anything that gives the federal governmentauthority over states when it comes to children. Significantly unstated is that while it's OK for the same people to acknowledge the old standby rights of expression, assembly and due process, it's NOT OK to recognize rights in economic and social spheres such as a universal education, health care or an adequate standard of living. The US has not yet recognized such rights as "inalienable." Such recognition is unlikely as long as the right of all people to quality life, good health and access to education cannot be shown to benefit the more fundamental "right" of those in power to keep their profits high.
Unmasking the hypocrisy in what the US SAYS and what it DOES vis-a-vis international conventions such as the one on children's rights is part of the struggle for change. There are several areas of logical and moral dissonance:
- juvenile justice
- child detention by Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS)
- child labor
- use of children as soldiers

Children detained by the US Immigration and Naturalization Service
Every year about 5000 unaccompanied children seeking asylum, looking for family members already here or simply seeking a better life for themselves, enter the US. Often they are held for long periods. While the average lenght of detention is 30 days, some are held for six months or more. About 2000 or one-third of the children under UNS control in 1999 were held in juvenile detention centers and county jails. Indeed, according to Jo Becker of Human Rights Watch, 2 years ago 6 Chinese children were held in a Portland, Oregon
juvenile detention center for 8 months. That same year 58% of the 1300 children held in facilities
such as these were there because the INS found no better alternative for them,
Cut off from family and community, often unable to communicate basic needs because they can't speak
English, many are left unprotected and remain unaware of their legal rights.
They frequently experience severe depression and often try to commit suicide.
While international law and common decency demands that children should be detained only as a
last resort and for the least amount of time possible, this does not happen in the US.
In part this is because the INS has conflicting functions. While it is responsible for caring for and protecting the
legal rights of the children it detains, it is also charged with arresting, imprisoning and/or
deporting them.
"I never thought I'd end up in a jail like this" - Xiao Ling, 15, detained for weeks in a Pennsylvania secure de
detention facility with violent juvenile offenders.
Xiao Ling was charged with no crime, yet - she was housed with children accused of murder, rape
and drug trafficking. She was assigned a small concrete cell, bare except for bedding and a Bible in a language that she could not read.
She was forbidden to wear her own clothes or keep any personal possessions - jewelry, hair ties, perfume, deodorant - in her cell.
She was forbidden to laugh or speak her native language (TOVA MI PRILICHA NA ISTORIATA S INDIANCITE
I V BOARDING SCHOOLS KOGATO SA GI BIELI CHE GOVORIAT NA EZIKA SI). Not surprisingly, Xiao Ling says
that during her detention, she cried every day.
Her story is one of thousands that occur every year in the US.

Добре, де, добре, разбрахме, че САЩ не са идеални /това всеки го знае/. Но защо ли толкова много хора емигрират там, че те дори не са ратифицирали конвенцията за правата на детето? Защо ли, питам се аз...
