?:abstract
  • "Past scholarly research in the interdisciplinary field of children's rights studies has explored the subject of US ratification of the Convention on the Rights of the child (CRC) and come to a set of common conclusions, namely that governmental reticence to accept a human rights framework in reforming the nation’s public policy remains the main explanation for prolonged non-adherence to the convention. While the State plays a key role in the drafting, ratification and implementation of international human rights treaties, this paper focuses its enquiry on non-State actors that advocate for - or against - CRC ratification in the US. Subsequently, this article compares CRC ratification advocacy with actions led by American advocates for the ratification of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD), and proposes an interpretation as to why CRPD advocates have successfully gained the support of religiously and politically conservative constituents, whereas the children's rights movement has not. A final section puts forward recommendations aimed at improving the effectiveness of the pro-CRC ratification campaign, especially in regards to the facilitation of child participation in advocacy activities."
