Madeleine Albright, then ambassador to the United Nations, signed the [[UN-CRC]] on behalf of the United States on 16 February 1995. The [[UN-CRC]], however, is at variance with United States law, so it has never been submitted to the Senate of the United States for ratification. The [[United States of America]] is the only country in the world that is not a state-party to the [[UN-CRC]], so the [[UN-CRC]] has only moral authority in the United States.
