United States of America: Rights of Children must be respected.

Amnesty International calls for the USA to respect international law in relation to all children under its jurisdiction. Child offenders await execution in the USA, whilst others are serving sentences of life imprisonment without the possibility of parole. Reports indicate that a "handful" of children have been "discovered" by the authorities in Guantánamo. It is time for the USA to respect international law in relation to all children under its jurisdiction.\n
