The US has also failed to ratify the UN convention on Rights of the Child.

That's because the UN is nothing more than a feel-good body that gives strongly wording condemnations while people die.

The UN isn't exactly something to hold as a beacon for anything besides spending a lot of money on practically nothing.

In which case, where is the harm?

"Children have the rights to:

- Protection (e.g., from abuse, exploitation and harmful substances) - Provision (e.g., for education, health care and an adequate standard of living) - Participation (e.g., listening to children’s views and respecting their evolving capacities) - Specific protections and provisions for vulnerable populations such as Aboriginal children and children with disabilities"

The UN is so much more and if you spent any time with them like I have you realize how absurdly wasteful it is as a system.
