"When it comes to protecting children's right to life, there should be no trade-off," declared Ms Terlingen.
Somalia's decision to sign the Convention on the Rights of the Child is a welcome commitment to the protection of children's rights. The Somali government also stated its intention to ratify such instrument in the near future. The USA will then be the only country to have failed to ratify the Convention on the Rights of the Child.
"The USA will be exposed as the only country in the world not willing to fully commit to protecting children's rights," said Ms Terlingen.
