    Fun fact: The US votes against that one because it prohibits giving the death penalty to minors.

    Yeah.

      Hey hey, it’s not JUST about that!

      It’s also because it classifies child marriage as abuse. You can still get married to or marry off your child as young as 12 in some states.

      I mean it’s not surprising in the least, well maybe that they do go into such technicalities while killing millions of children around the world.
