Why the UNCRC?

Reasons for the UNCRC

The United States signed the UNCRC in 1995. Today it's time for us to ratify this document so that it will have a greater impact not only nationally but internationally as well. With the UNCRC the United States has made steps on supporting child rights like,

1. protecting children from armed conflict
2. sexual exploitation and;
3.  the sale of children

the UNCRC has many other articles that are as important, for example the

1.  respect of birth registration
2. the right to acquire a nationality and;
3. and combating illicit transfer and non-return of children abroad

So yes, the United States signing on for some of the optional protocols of the UNCRC is major, there are still many articles and rights of children that should be supported just as much.
