The government ratifies human rights in a way that denies U.S. residents the right to enforce their provisions of the U.S. courts. *example* the united states is the only country that does NOT recognize the rights of children. The military recruits high school age (under 18), juveniles are executed, children are abused and exploited under title IV (social security act) in a way which causes poverty by transferring wealth from one person to another. also, our government doesn't recognize (by ratifying and bringing to "force of law") our social or economic rights.
