[LM_NET] OT - outside US only - info on Convention on the Rights of the Child

[Pat Bartoshesky <bartoapple@COMCAST.NET>]

For librarians in schools outside the US: would you have any comments or 
observations about the role of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child in the 
country in which you are working? December 10-17 is Human Rights Week 
internationally and you may be thinking about human rights, specifically child 
rights in that country. I don't know if your viewpoint will be significantly 
different if you are a native or someone from abroad working there. Do you have 
books about child rights in your library? Is it a topic in your curriculum?

Thanks very much, in advance, for your help.

PS How did the press conference go in Sweden? Would you want to share what poetry 
you ended up using?
