In the aftermath of World War II, the General Assembly of the
United Nations votes to establish the United Nations International
Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF), an organization to help
provide relief and support to children living in countries
devastated by the war.
After the food and medical crisis of the late 1940s passed,
UNICEF continued its role as a relief organization for the
children of troubled nations and during the 1970s grew into
a vocal advocate of children’s rights. During the 1980s,
UNICEF assisted the U.N. Commission on Human Rights in the
drafting of the Convention on the Rights of the Child. After
its introduction to the U.N. General Assembly in 1989, the
Convention on the Rights of the Child became the most widely
ratified human rights treaty in history, and UNICEF played a
key role in ensuring its enforcement.
The United States is the only U.N. member state to have not
ratified the treaty. The U.S., which was one of the original
signatories of the convention, has failed to ratify the treaty
because of concerns about its potential impact on national
sovereignty and the parent-child relationship.
