The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child    1. States Parties recognize that every child has the inherent right to life. Interestingly, this does not apply to unborn children. Article 5 States Parties shall respect the responsibilities, rights and duties of parents or, where applicable, the members of the extended family or community as provided for by local custom, legal guardians or other persons legally responsible for the child, to provide, in a manner consistent with the evolving capacities of the child, appropriate direction and guidance in the exercise by the child of the rights recognized in the present Convention. This article starts out fine, but throws in a qualifier that negates the respect of parents rights and duties.  States shall respect the rights and duties of parents as long as direction and guidance complies with the rights of the child recognized in the present convention.  And, who decides what the evolving capacities of the child are?  Appropriate direction and guidance of your child is no longer up to the parents, it must comply with the rights of the child recognized by the Convention.              Article 2 1. States Parties shall respect and ensure the rights set forth in the present Convention to each child within their jurisdiction without discrimination of any kind, irrespective of the child's or his or her parent's or legal guardian's race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national, ethnic or social origin, property, disability, birth or other status.   Sounds good doesn't it ? But we now know what it means - and then we have the descrimination/hate bill to ensure compliance........     http://www.contenderministries.org/UN/childrights.php
