Only two/three extremist countries, including the US, don't offer freedom to their citizens to live where they like without accounting annually to their country of citizenship.
US children are now the only kids on the planet who don't have rights as defined under the Convention of the Rights of the Child.
The right of Privacy is virtually non-existant - the degree at which personal data can be accquired on any US citizen is a farce. Citizens can't simply travel where they wish without questions/monitoring/permission - eg Cuba.
Generally, tho depends on the treaty, US citizens are barred from legal recourse from treaties signed by their govt. Federal laws block options for a citizen to have his case heard under International Treaties ratified by the US govt.
It is ironic that the subject of this troll's thread is over Chavez not renewing the broadcasting license of RCTV and that is the basis of US troll whining, when, in reality, all Venezuelan citiizens have all the above rights - along with plenty more not mentioned  |
Dont want to pay taxes? Umm renounce citizenship and get citizenship in another country. Simple
Convention of the rights of the child? Show me what isnt already followed by the united states without having an outside law regulating us?
Quote:
The Convention acknowledges that every child has certain basic rights, including the right to life, his or her own name and identity, to be raised by his or her parents within a family or cultural grouping and have a relationship with both parents, even if they are separated.
The Convention obliges states to allow parents to exercise their parental responsibilities. The Convention also acknowledges that children have the right to express their opinions and to have those opinions heard and acted upon when appropriate, to be protected from abuse or exploitation, to have their privacy protected and requires that their lives not be subject to excessive interference.
The Convention also obliges signatory states to provide separate legal representation for a child in any judicial dispute concerning their care and asks that the child's viewpoint be heard in such cases. The Convention forbids capital punishment for children.
The Convention is child-centric and deals with the child-specific needs and rights. It requires that states act in the best interests of the child. This approach is different from the common law approach found in many countries that had previously treated children and wives as possessions or chattels, ownership of which was often argued over in family disputes. In many jurisdictions, properly implementing the Convention requires an overhaul of child custody and guardianship laws, or, at the very least, a creative approach within the existing laws.

We already do all of that. Yet you have it come off as if we are abusing the children of our country. Foolish old fool.
International treaties? It is our country, and we do not need outside counsel to settle disputes. We have our own legal system thanks.
Typical same old shit from you. Big words that mean nothing.
