• W3194762342 abstract "In 2008, then-United States presidential candidate Barack Obama was among those arguing that the United States’ failure to ratify the United Nations Convention of the Rights of the Child (CRC or Convention) is an embarrassment. Along with Somalia, the United States was at the time one of two nations not party to the CRC. The U.S. is now alone on this front. As populist authoritarian forces gain strength under the administration of President Donald J. Trump, assaults on human rights are occurring with regularity, exacerbating the impact of our absence from global rights-conferring documents that seek to protect vulnerable groups. Illuminating the nation’s backsliding is that asylum-seeking families are being ripped asunder simply for seeking a better life and migrant children are dying in the custody of the U.S. government. As a consequence, the United States’ moral authority is waning—a development President Macron of France alluded to in a November 2018 address—compromising our ability to exercise global leadership. With due attention to these developments, this Article argues that the global impact of the crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border is a pressure point where political will can be marshaled to ratify the CRC. It suggests that Professor Derrick Bell’s interest-convergence theory, which posits that the progress of minorities in the United States is defined by the extent to which it converges with the material interests of the political majority, can be applied as a normative tool to explore the U.S.’s ratification of the Convention. In reaching this conclusion, we must bear in mind that while Trump’s instincts are to withdraw from globalism wherever possible, the political majority—comprised of transnational actors including civil society, the media, courts, and Congress—has not lost sight of the fact that engagement with ongoing transnational legal processes has historically been central to the nation’s “soft power” approach to foreign policy because it facilitates the United States’ ability to cooperate with other nation’s around shared goals. Given the United States’ history as the only U.N.-member state not party to the CRC, ratification is in the interest of the political majority because it would help to close the distance with other nations by joining a transnational legal project where there is near-universal participation. For children’s rights advocates, the clarion call for U.S. participation in the treaty began when the CRC was adopted more than 30 years ago. CRC ratification is in the interest of children’s rights advocates because it would at long last operationalize the CRC, which affords robust protections to children including freedom from inhumane treatment and detention." @default.
