Recently President Obama signaled to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee his treaty ratification priorities for the 111^th Congress.  Not surprisingly, the Convention to End All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) is on the list as the lone “Human Rights” treaty Obama wants ratified.  A pleasant surprise, however, is the conspicuous absence of the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC).  Both treaties are extremely pernicious and the United States should ratify neither, as Pat Fagan, Bill Saunders, and I explain here.  It’s good to see that for now we only need to worry about one of them.
