« Somalia has ratified the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), becoming the 195th State to do so.

This latest ratification leaves the United States and South Sudan as the only States in the world yet to ratify the CRC. In November 2013, the South Sudan National Legislative Assembly passed a bill agreeing to ratify the treaty, but official ratification has since been pending as the country deals with ongoing armed conflict. Progress has been significantly slower in the US - even though the State signed the treaty in 1995.

Somalia’s ratification has been unanimously welcomed by UN agencies and NGOs alike as an important step towards improving respect for children’s rights. »
