I'm actually surprized i've never heard of this before.  It actually makes me worry for the future of the U.S. (among other things)

FTA -

Most majority Muslim nations express reservations on all provisions of the convention that are incompatible with Islamic Sharia law, which takes much of the teeth out of the treaty. Acid attacks on girls continue in Afghanistan, which is already party to the convention.

The U.N. itself admits that there is no way for it to enforce its own laws and protect children.


That pretty much sums it up right there. It's another meaningless statement by an organization that is always more bark than bite. All this would be is a first step to laying aside our sovereignty.
