Declaration of the Rights of the Child is law here in Canada

Duncan - I am so glad the Declaration of the Rights of the Child has made it into a newspaper. I want to thank Mary Dolan for her efforts. I first got my official information on it from Bob Ringma, MP on Feb. 27/97 and have not been able to get it recognized; great job Mary.
