The reluctance or refusal of religious institutions to conform to the United Nations' Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) and other similar conventions can be rooted in various reasons. Here are some excuses or arguments identified from the sources, particularly focusing on the United States as an example:

Religious Freedom and Sovereignty:

Religious institutions may argue that UN conventions infringe upon religious freedom and national sovereignty. For instance, the UN's Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) has criticized countries like Ireland and Norway for their religious practices and legislations. It also urged countries to amend laws that provide religious exemptions, which the committee believes might perpetuate gender inequality 1.

The United States, among other countries, values the separation of church and state, and perceives UN conventions as a threat to this separation, and hence, to religious freedom and national sovereignty?1?. Interference in Domestic Policies:

Religious institutions and conservative groups may see the conventions as an interference in domestic policies and traditional family values. They might argue that the conventions undermine the rights of parents and families, and promote a radical agenda contrary to national values 1.

For instance, UN committees have been perceived as hostile to manifestations of religious belief in public policy, and as pushing countries to change laws and policies that support traditional family values and religious freedoms 1.

Conflict with Religious and Cultural Values:

There may be conflicts between the provisions of the conventions and the religious or cultural values of a country or community. The conventions might be seen as promoting values that are inconsistent with religious teachings or cultural practices 1.

Counterarguments or actions to these excuses can be:

Promotion of Universal Human Rights:

Advocates of the conventions argue that they promote universal human rights which should be upheld irrespective of religious or cultural differences.

Protection of Vulnerable Populations:

The conventions are seen as necessary to protect the rights of vulnerable populations such as children and women, ensuring their health, education, and overall well-being.

International Accountability:

By conforming to these conventions, countries can hold each other accountable on the global stage for the protection and promotion of human rights.

The same reasons and counterarguments can extend to other UN conventions addressing human rights. Not all conventions may apply equally to all countries due to differing legal, social, and cultural contexts, which might explain why some conventions may not be included or should be in certain situations.

These arguments and counterarguments highlight the ongoing debate between the preservation of national, religious, and cultural identities versus the promotion of universal human rights as envisaged by the UN conventions.

Recent findings in Spain found that 0.6% of the population of Spain had been sexually abused by Roman Catholic priests and laity.

Current world population is 8 billion - 0.6% = 48 million possibly raped by Catholics globally.

"This is a matter for the church and I respect the internal judgements of the church. I don't stand outside the church and provide them with public lectures in terms of how they should behave. I've noted carefully what his Holiness has said in the United States. Obviously that was a source of great comfort and healing in the United States. I'm like all Australians very much looking forward to what the Pope has to say here in Australia as well, as I am to my own conversation with the Pope later this morning." Kevin Rudd, Prime Minister of Australia, 17 July 2008. more

Wednesday, 22 June 2022 - I may not have this down syntax, word and letter perfect or with absolute precision in every aspect; however time and the evidence will show that I am closer to the truth than any religion has been or will likely be.
Let history be the standard by which that is measured.

Youtube - listen to Commissioner Bob Atkinson get it wrong - again
The Commissioner informs us that the clergy sexual abuse issue was all over and that it had only been a small statistical glitch around the year 2000. History shows this to have been a display of absolute ignorance on the issue ...
