Exactly 51 years since that November 20, 1959, when the General Assembly of the United Nations adopted the Declaration on the Rights of the Child, a sort of depth of that has been written in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights of 1948.
Exactly 21 years since that November 20, 1989, when the UN General Assembly adopted the International Convention on the Rights of the Child. A very important document, ratified by almost every country in the world: almost all except Somalia and the United States.
The U.S. has refused to accede to the Treaty because it would abolish rules that allow to apply the death penalty or the life sentence to crimes committed by minors who have not completed eighteen years of age and, therefore, could be sentenced to death or imprisoned for life at the age of majority.
Two important steps to implement legislation to provide full protection for minors, the right to life, the right to adequate education, to protection against all forms of exploitation and abuse. It seems obvious to many people but, unfortunately, the reality is far from everything,
These latest data released by UNICEF: nearly 9 million children die of starvation before 5 years of life, 22 million children don't have a suitable vaccine for the most common diseases, 148 million children don't have enough food and over 100 million don't have a basic education. Many homeless or who are exploited and submissive. Not to mention the violence, physical, psychological and sexual, situations that are present in underdeveloped countries but also in industrialized countries.
It's therefore important to know the Convention and continue to fight so that all over the planet, from West to East, from South to North, children must be protected, defended and they must have the opportunity to become men who are capable of protect and preserve the lives of their own children. To think that this is utopian is the defeat of the human race itself. (Photo by Unicef)
UN Convention on the Rights of the Child

20 novembre: non dimentichiamo i bambini
Sono passati esattamente 51 anni da quel 20 novembre 1959, quando l’Assemblea generale delle Nazioni Unite” ha adottato la Dichiarazione dei Diritti del Fanciullo, una sorta di approfondimento di quanto già scritto nella Dichiarazione Universale dei Diritti dell’Uomo del 1948.
Sono passati esattamente 21 anni da quel 20 novembre 1989, quando l’Assemblea Generale delle Nazioni Unite ha approvato la Convenzione Internazionale sui Diritti dell’Infanzia. Un documento molto importante, ratificato da quasi tutti i paesi del pianeta: quasi tutti, ad eccezione di Somalia e gli Stati Uniti.
Gli USA hanno rifiutato di aderire al trattato perché avrebbe dovuto abolire le norme che consentono di applicare la pena di morte o l’ergastolo ai reati compiuti dai minori che non hanno compiuto il diciottesimo anno d’età e che, quindi, potranno essere condannati a morte o reclusi a vita al compimento della maggiore età.
Due passi importantissimi per realizzare una normativa che consenta una tutela completa per i minori, dal diritto alla vita, al diritto ad un’istruzione adeguata, alla tutela contro tutte le forme di sfruttamento e di abuso. Sembrano cose ovvie per molti ma, purtroppo, la realtà è ancora lontana da tutto ciò,
Questi gli ultimi dati diffusi dall’Unicef: quasi 9 milioni di bambini muoiono di fame prima dei 5 anni di vita, 22 milioni di neonati non hanno una vaccinazione adeguata per le malattie più comuni, 148 milioni di minori non hanno un’alimentazione sufficiente e oltre 100 milioni non hanno un’istruzione di base. Tantissimi i senzatetto o i bambini che vengono sfruttati e sottomessi. Per non parlare delle violenze, fisiche, psicologiche e sessuali, presenti sia nei paesi sottosviluppati che nei paesi industrializzati.
E’ importante, quindi, conoscere questa Convenzione e continuare a lottare affinché in ogni parte del pianeta, dall’Occidente all’Oriente, dal Sud al Nord del mondo, i bambini siano tutelati, difesi e abbiano la possibilità di diventare uomini in grado di proteggere e tutelare la vita dei loro stessi figli. Pensare che questo sia un’utopia è la sconfitta stessa del genere umano.
