The Convention does protect parents' rights to raise their children, contrary to what opponents say.

p.s. It's "ratification", not "radification".

Senate please give the okay so President Obama can sign the treaty. Being one of only two nations should be an embarrassment to our government. You place yourselves in agreeance with Somalia by not signing this treaty. Lets join the world in unity and declare that children are equally respected by rights that should be given freely to them.
