The Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) lays out a comprehensive set of rights for children, and recognizes the essential role and importance of parents and families in their development. It is the most widely accepted human rights treaty in history. To date, 193 nations have ratified this important treaty.
The United States has yet to ratify.
The U.S. Fund for UNICEF is joining with other child welfare organizations to ask President Obama to order a review by the Department of State and send the CRC treaty to the U.S. Senate for ratification -- but we need to show that it has the overwhelming support of thousands of concerned citizens like you.
Sign the petition to ask President Obama to submit the Convention on the Rights of the Child to Senate for ratification and demonstrate that the U.S. stands firm for the rights of children around the world.
