The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child was adopted on 20 November 1989. It entered into force in 1990. All states (apart from Somalia, Timor Leste and USA) are parties to this Convention.
The Convention on the Rights of the Child commits states parties to respect and ensure the enjoyment of a wide range of civil, political, economic, social, and cultural rights of children. Article 1 defines a child as "every human being below the age of eighteen unless under the law applicable to the child, majority is attained earlier".
The Convention on the Rights of the Child has two Optional Protocol: the protocol on the involvement of children in armed conflict and the protocol on the sale of children, child prostitution and child pornography. States must ratify the protocols in order to be bound by them.
At the UN Millennium Summit, heads of State and Government resolved:
"to encourage the ratification and full implementation of the Convention on the Rights of the Child and its optional protocols on the involvement of children in armed conflict and on the sale of children, child prostitution and child pornography." (United Nations Millennium Declaration, 18 September 2000, UN symbol: A/RES/55/2).

In September 2003, the EU threatened Iran with economic repercussions unless it restored international trust in its nuclear programme.
Washington has also criticised Friday's poll, describing it as neither free nor fair.
But the candidate expected to lead the conservative bloc in the new parliament called on the US to recognise the legitimacy of Iran's 25-year-old Islamic revolution as a first step to restoring relations.
"We believe the US government is not willing to hear our nation's message during the last 25 years," Gholamali Haddadadel, whose daughter is married to the son of the supreme leader, said.
Entering a dialogue with countries like Iran may not acxhieve much but it is still far more than can be achieved by not talking. The alternative to diplomacy is warfare.

Hypocrisy must be the only international standard all politicians adhere to.

The EU Paeliament Quote, Promoting human rights.
The European Union promotes respect for human rights at home and abroad. It focuses on civil. political, economic, social and cultural right. It also seeks to promote the rights of women and children as well as minorities and displaced persons.
Human rights feature in the EU's trade and cooperation agreements with its partners and are a prerequisite for countries seeking to join the Union itself. The EU has maintained a human rights dialogue in recent years with countries like China and Iran. It has imposed sanctions for human rights breaches on several countries including Serbia, Burma/Myanmar and Zimbabwe.
The EU also helps pay for a range of activities that defend human rights, such as the Eurpean Initiative for Democracy and Human Rights which spends 100m euro per year.
