The United Nations' 1989 Convention on the Rights of the Child was the first legally binding international law to incorporate the full range of human rights for children. It is said to have significantly increased the profile of children's rights worldwide.
Sadly, the United States is one of only two countries in the world which have refused to ratify The United Nations' Convention on the Rights of the Child.
Includes a number of very touching photographs, a memorable documentary video about children's rights and an emotionally moving photo-gallery.
Please have a look!

"Children of Men" is a science-fiction motion picture that is well worth remembering in our current troubled times. The film presents the dark vision of a totalitarian world ravished by war, paranoia and the frustrations of man.
The world’s youngest citizen has just died at the age of eighteen, and with female fertility becoming obsolete, man cannot reproduce. No child has been born on the face of the planet for eighteen years. Man, and his future, is dying.
However, the unexpected discovery of a lone pregnant woman represents the miracle that can change the course of humanity. The discovery launches a desperate, perilous journey to deliver the woman and her child to safety, restoring faith in a future for humans beyond those presently on earth.
Photographs and the dramatic, chilling video of the movie's final scene are included.

The celebrated Australian short film "Tommy the Kid" is an uplifting film about life's small victories, a heart-warming tale about loss and recovery. This modern-day Australian western uses bikes and kids, instead of cowpokes and horses. Nevertheless, Its story of small-town justice has more in common with the old-fashioned cowboy films than one might think.
Photographs and the very touching film are included.

"Piece de Resistance"
Menomena's "Rotten Hell" music video redeems the meaning of the cliched cafeteria food fight. Lyrics about violence and moral righteousness are enacted by students flinging spaghetti at each other. Counterpoint to the pasta combat mayhem, the action plays in slow motion, resulting in a video that is both elegant and hilariously strange.
Photographs and Menomena music video (Rotten Hell) are include.
