1 - Where is the UK / Great Britain on this list?

2 - Signing / ratifying is all well and good, but a lot of these countries fail abjectly in the area of enforcement. Eg in China children born out of wedlock are denied access to education / health services etc.

3 - There are contradictions within the Convention itself.

There are two different things - the signature (the US HAS signed the Convention) and the ratification - the US and Somalia being the only two countries in the world which have not ratified.
