Two member nations of the United Nations have not ratified the Convention on the Rights of the Child http://www2.ohchr.org/english/law/crc.htm They are Somalia and the United States. The United States should join the other 194 countries and ratify the Convention now if it is to be credible opposing the use of child soldiers.
