A resolution expressing the sense of the Senate that the primary safeguard for the well-being and protection of children is the family, and that, because the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child could undermine the rights of the family, the President should not sign and transmit it to the Senate.

Summary

Declares that it is the sense of the Senate that: (1) the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child is incompatible with the God-given right and responsibility of parents to raise their children; (2) the Convention has the potential to severely restrict States and the Federal Government in their efforts to protect children and enhance family life; (3) the U.S. Constitution is the ultimate guarantor of rights and privileges to every American, including children; and (4) the President should not sign and transmit the Convention to the Senate.
