1 - Where is the UK / Great Britain on this list?

2 - Signing / ratifying is all well and good, but a lot of these countries fail abjectly in the area of enforcement. Eg in China children born out of wedlock are denied access to education / health services etc.

3 - There are contradictions within the Convention itself.

There are two different things - the signature (the US HAS signed the Convention) and the ratification - the US and Somalia being the only two countries in the world which have not ratified.

For the sake of time, who hasn't signed the Convention on the Rights of the Child.
