After Angola, U.S. Still Refuses To Acknowledge U.N. Rights Of The Child, But Why?

The United States is the only country refusing to sign on to the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child but has anyone really inquired, lately, as to why this is so?

It seems the United States is still using children as human shields and it still seems Israel is exempt from including children of Gaza, for that matter.

Trafficking tiny humans is really a profitable way of maximizing revenues and financial leveraging.

It must be noted that the Convention on the Rights of the Child is still geared to remain under international law.

Goods to be acquired

I take issue with this as the sole jurisdiction because it recognizes corporations as corporate parents, with all concepts of parental rights conferred upon them through UCC statutes as individual real persons are not incorporated, which is why the U.S. will never sign on to the U.N. Convention of the Child.

It is just a revenue maximization thang, in the name of the tax exempt christian god, of course..

Committee on the Rights of the Child Considers Reports of Angola

The Committee on the Rights of the Child today concluded its consideration of the combined fifth to seventh periodic report of Angola under the Convention on the Rights of the Child, and its initial reports under the Optional Protocol on the involvement of children in armed conflict, and the Optional Protocol on the sale of children, child prostitution and child pornography.

Presenting the report, Ruth Madalena Mixinge, Secretary of State at the Ministry of Social Action, Family and Promotion of Women of Angola, noted that despite a retreat of investments in the oil industry, which had affected the implementation of a number of Angola’s social projects, the Government had maintained its protection of human rights for all citizens with a focus on the most vulnerable, such as children.  A vast package of legal instruments and public policies had been adopted and institutions had been set up with a view to promoting and guaranteeing children’s rights to life, development, participation and protection.  The National Council for Social Action had also been created as a body for social dialogue and to monitor the implementation of public policies for the promotion and protection of the rights of children, elderly and other vulnerable groups.  To enforce the rights and freedoms of children, birth registration had been universalized.  In 2016 the Government had adopted a basic law requiring compulsory, free education from the primary to middle school years in order to extend free national education from six to nine years, eliminate school dropouts and eradicate illiteracy.  “Angola 2025” had also been adopted as a long-term strategy to ameliorate and augment social services and holistic programmes to combat rural poverty.

In the ensuing discussion, Committee Experts inquired about how the Convention was invoked before courts, data collection, review of the 2012 Children’s Act, social spending and corruption, the role and functioning of the Ombudsman, participation of civil society, harmful practices such as witchcraft accusations against children and female genital mutilation, minimum age of marriage, polygamy, measures to address the situation of children with disabilities, children living with HIV/AIDS, and lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex children, birth registration, corporal punishment and violence against children, juvenile justice and the age of criminal responsibility, orphaned and abandoned children, adoption, infant health and infant mortality, adolescent health, maternal health and maternity leave, abortion, breastfeeding and child friendly hospitals, fighting malaria and yellow fever, child labour, and trafficking in children.

Children As U.S. Human Shields

I really do not see the issue here.  The United States violates the Convention on the Rights of the Child everyday because poverty is considered child abuse and neglect, subject to termination of parental rights.

The U.S. has the art of holding babies up to shield themselves from attack down to a science.


If the United States complied with the CRC, then, child welfare as we know it would cease to exist.  The lobbying entities and corporate interests are too powerful to allow any form of compliance for that would end foster care as we know it.


One area of the CRC the U.S. refuses to comply is with uniform language such as 'reasonable efforts' and "best interests of the child' because it conflicts with corporate interests of pharmaceuticals.


Other areas the U.S. fails to comply are with ecological standards in manufacturing, crying it will harm children.


Then there is the issue of child sex-trafficking.  The U.S. just cannot seem to prosecute and regulate the way most other countries do, or at least try.


The United Nations is weak when it comes to treaty enforcement with the U.S. so this accusation against Israel is quite anemic.


This is why there are so-called parental rights groups protesting U.S. compliance to the CRC equating gun rights to parental rights.  They use the child as a human shield, funded by special interests.  Protection of fraud in child welfare.

Compliance means transparency and everyone knows anything dealing with children in the U.S. is a secret....shhhhhh.

UN report accuses Israel of violating the Convention on the Rights of the Child

Monday, 22 November 2010 15:00

In a statement to mark International Children's Day, the United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund (UNICEF) said Israel is tangible breach of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.

The statement, issued on the 21st anniversary of the Geneva Convention to protect children's rights, criticized Israel's failure to uphold international law and honor its obligation to protect children.

The issue of child protection, the report noted, is divided between various Israeli government agencies, and there is no single body that deals with the matter properly.

The organization accused Israel of having no comprehensive strategy to protect the rights of the child and apply the international treaty; noting that Israel excludes the West Bank and Gaza Strip from the application of the Convention, even though they are Occupied Territories subjected to its military control.
