HSLDA and the National Center for Home Education do not have an official position regarding the United Nations. However, it is accurate to say that we've become more and more concerned about the sovereignty of the United States vis-à-vis the United Nations as expressed by its policies on religious liberty, human rights, children's rights, and the family.

The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child is an example of the UN's view of the family. We have opposed the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child because it would strip parents of much of their authority to educate, train, and nurture their children according to the dictates of their conscience.

In addition, we oppose the UN Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women because it wrongly advances the government into the most private of family and education decisions.
