The United States and Somalia, a country without an internationally recognized government, are the only two nations in the world that have not ratified the United Nations' Convention on the Rights of the Child. The treaty was signed by Madeline Albright on behalf of the US in 1995, but it still has not been ratified some four years later.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 17, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Today, ParentalRights.Org released an online docudrama, Overruled: Government Invasion of Your Parental Rights, which outlines today's dangers facing American parents in their ability to direct the upbringing and education of their children.
The film, which runs 35 minutes at OverruledMovie.com, focuses on three real-life American family cases in which parental rights were egregiously violated by the government: a medical care case, an educational freedom case, and a religious freedom case. The movie also warns against adoption of the United Nations' Convention on the Rights of the Child. This treaty would override virtually all child and family laws in the United States and grant ultimate authority to international bureaucrats.

The counter-claim was filed at the end of March, and is being heard in federal court in Oakland. It is likely to draw the attention of the international bodies charged with the enforcement of the treaty. A recent report of the NGO Group for the Convention on the Rights of the Child, for example, questioned the US insistence that "recruitment" only covers the final induction of youth into the military. "The Committee asked about the exact definition of recruitment," the report reads, "since it seemed to cover only the final entry into the armed forces, not the targeting of much younger children.
The same committee also "noted that many students, including some as young as eleven were enrolled in the Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps." The US delegation responded that "JROTC was no...
