 World Children's Day & the Convention on the Rights of the 
 Child\n\nNovember 20, 2021\n\nWorld Children's Day is celebrated on the 
 20th of November in order to commemorate the adoption of the Convention on 
 the Rights of the Child (1989), the first international treaty to integrate 
 all human rights in reference to children.\n\nThe goal is that on the basis 
 of this popular Convention, the public can come together to promote and 
 celebrate a child’s ability to participate more fully in family, social, 
 and cultural life.\n\nAnd yet, one seemingly impossible fact casts a shadow 
 over all good intentions: The United States remains the only country in the 
 world that has not ratified this Convention.\n\nWHY?\n\nOn November 20th, 
 the UNA-SF will examine this unique phenomenon from several angles. We will 
 discuss the history and background of World Children’s Day and the 
 Convention on the Rights of the Child. We will also commemorate and even 
 celebrate what the Convention is capable of by looking to other countries. 
 Finally, we will discuss just why the United States has remained alone in 
 the world regarding the CRC’s ratification. And most importantly, we will 
 show how we can begin to turn this situation around.\n
