AFT Resolution

THE UNITED NATIONS CONVENTION ON THE RIGHTS OF THE CHILD

WHEREAS, the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on Nov. 20, 1989, is a document of great value in the advancement of the interests of all children throughout the world and therefore in the interests of all people:

RESOLVED, that this convention endorse the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child; and

RESOLVED, that this convention direct the AFT executive council to submit a similar resolution to the 1991 AFL-CIO convention.

(1990)

Please note that a newer resolution, or portion of a resolution, may have superseded an earlier resolution on the same subject. As a result, with the exception of resolutions adopted at our most recent AFT convention, resolutions do not necessarily reflect current AFT policies.
