Understanding the U.N. Convention on the Rights of the Child
Michael P. Farris, J.D.

Ten things you need to know about the structure of the CRC:

1. It is a treaty which creates binding rules of law. It is no mere statement of
altruism.

2. Its effect would be binding on American families, courts, and policy-makers.

3. Children of other nations would not be impacted or helped in any direct way
by our ratification.

4. The CRC would automatically override almost all American laws on children
and families because of the U.S. Constitution’s Supremacy Clause in Article
VI.

5. The CRC has some elements that are self-executing, others would require
implementing legislation. Federal courts would have the power to determine
which provisions were self-executing.

6. The courts would have the power to directly enforce the provisions that are
self-executing.

7. Congress would have the power to directly legislate on all subjects necessary
to comply with the treaty. This would be the most massive shift of power
from the states to the federal government in American history.

8. A committee of 18 experts from other nations sitting in Geneva has the
authority to issue official interpretations of the treaty which are entitled to
binding weight in American courts and legislatures. This effectively transfers
ultimate policy authority for all policies in this area to this foreign committee.

9. Under international law, the treaty overrides even our Constitution.

10. Reservations, declarations, or understandings intended to modify our duty to
comply with this treaty will be void if they are determined to be inconsistent
with the object and purpose of the treaty.

Ten things you need to know about the substance of the CRC:

1. Parents would no longer be able to administer reasonable spankings to their
children.

2. A murderer aged 17 years and 11 months and 29 days at the time of his crime
could no longer be sentenced to life in prison.

3. Children would have the ability to choose their own religion while parents
would only have the authority to give their children advice about religion.

4. The best interest of the child principle would give the government the ability
to override every decision made by every parent if a government worker
disagreed with the parent’s decision.

5. A child’s “right to be heardâ€
