UN Committee finds United States guilty of violating children's rights in Afganistan

I know this is a week or so late, I think it is still an interesting article.  The U.S. has never fully endorsed the UN Convention's Rights of Children, however in 2002 the, "U.S. committed to guaranteeing basic protections to children in armed conflict zones."  Although the U.S. made this commitment, they were charged with the ill-treatment and deaths of hundreds of children in Afghanistan.  The UN held an investigation and recently found the U.S. guilty of violating the rights of Afghan children.
