Younger children may want to illustrate their comments. We will take out any email addresses or means of contacting these kids before we pass the comments on to UN delegates and conference attendees. Bullet pointed ideas are ok. You may not understand the entire document, but do your best and write what is in your heart. Start now to become educated about these issues that will not be going away, and that will impact you, your children and their children.
Children are neither the property of their parents nor are they helpless objects of charity.
They are human beings and are the subject of their own rights. This is a background document, but it will not be negotiated at this meeting. The United Nations is made up of individual nations who join together to promote world peace. In this cooperative effort, the sovereign rights of individual nations should be respected. As each life is respected, and valued, the people of the world will become more peaceful toward one another.
