section Summary
 
 
You and all the Americans who voted for you were once children. Keep this simple fact in mind as you read this memo, because as adults, we sometimes forget the uniquely vulnerable role of children in society. This was certainly the spirit of Madeleine Albright, then Secretary of State, when she signed the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child in 1995 on behalf of the United States. Since that time, there has been no progress made in this country toward ratification. While the treaty sits idle, children across the world and within our own borders are faced with devastating situations beyond their control.
