Beautiful Photographs with a Call On President Barack Obama to Urge US Ratification of the UN Convention on the Human Rights of the Child Geneva, Switzerland The Ariel Foundation International AFI and the Ariana-Leilani Childrens Foundation International ALCF have called upon President Obama to push the USA to join the rest of the world by ratifying the CRC in Geneva. Participating in the press conference in Geneva were international policy and legal experts Richard Harrison (UK/France): 40 year retired United Nations Civil servant; Roy Morris, JD (USA); Birgit Kruassman, JD (Germany); Dr. Ariel King (Germany/USA), President, Ariel Foundation International and Ariana-Leilani Childrens Foundation. The press conference was held as a follow-up to AFI and ALCFs recent participation the United Nations 51st Committee (May 27 12 June 2009) on the Rights of the Child (CRC) in Geneva, Switzerland. All of us share this world for but a brief moment in time. The question is whether we spend that time focused on what pushes us apart or whether we commit ourselves to an effort, a sustained effort to find common ground, to focus on the future we seek for our children and to respect the dignity of all human beings. (Obama, speech, June 4, 2009) "It's important that the United States return to its position as a respected global leader and promoter of Human Rights. It's embarrassing to find ourselves in the company of Somalia, a lawless land. I will review this and other treaties and ensure that the United States resumes its global leadership in Human Rights." (Walden University Presidential Debates, 2008).
