Little Peace Ambassador, "President Obama, Give All the Worlds' Children Human Rights in the USA."

EINPresswire.com/ Washington, DC and Berlin -- After over 20 years the USA (along with Somalia) is the only country in the world (192) where children's human rights are NOT legally and internationally recognized through the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC). All children who are on US soil loose the basic human rights that they have in 192 other countries. Now before the 2012 Presidential election, is the time to change this silent violation of children's human rights.

"Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek." Obama, February 2008

The Little Peace Ambassador, Ariana-Leilani, the 9 year old, was destined to promote peace and childrens' human rights worldwide. The Little Born a dual German - USA citizen of 2 nationalities, 2 races, 2 religions, and 3 languages.

Before the age of 5 she had travelled to 10 countries and volunteered to help mostly orphaned and vulnerable children, who she called her "friends." As the Little Ambassador, she met former President George W. Bush at the White House, Nobel Peace Prize Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Queen Noor at the United Nations in NY, and was named after the "Ariana" museum at the United Nations - Palais du Nations in Geneva, Switzerland, where she once ran the halls during the World Health Assembly. Yet, for such an unusual start in life, since the age of 5, the Little Peace Ambassador has been trapped in Washington, DC, USA with no childrens' human rights with an untreated very rare life-threatening broken immune system that can cause toxic shock, loss of limbs or loss of life.

"We lose ourselves when we compromise the very ideals that we fight to defend. And we honor those ideals by upholding them not when it's easy, but when it is hard." Obama, Nobel Lecture, December 2009

As a direct result of no basis human rights (UNCRC) for children in the USA, Ariana-Leilani has suffered for 4 years, only minutes from The White House, Congress and Senate of one of the most powerful and internationally involved governments in the world, from untreated life-threatening Severe Chronic Neutropenia and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). A "gopetition" to President Obama and Chancellor Merkel to "Save Ariana-Leilani " currently has over 1100 signatures from 116 countries.

"Making your mark on the world is hard. If it were easy, everybody would do it. But it's not. It takes patience, it takes commitment, and it comes with plenty of failure along the way. The real test is not whether you avoid this failure, because you won't. It's whether you let it harden or shame you into inaction, or whether you learn from it; whether you choose to persevere." Obama, July 2006

If Ariana-Leilani were in Germany now, instead of trapped in Washington, DC, then childrens rights and child protection international agreements would allow her to get help to secure her basic human right to life. Now she is denied life-saving medicine (nupogen) free since she is on the Severe Chronic Neutropenia International Registry (SCNIR); a full toxicology and expert medical care. So far the US government has failed not only Ariana-leilani, but also all the worlds' children from 192 countries who loose their human rights once on US soil.

The Little Peace Ambassador, like all other children in the world have waited silently for the USA to recognize their human rights. Ariana-Leilani's very life directly depends on the USA recognizing the value of her life and her human rights that she was born with 9 years ago today. Little Peace Ambassador, Ariana-Leilani, "Happy 9th Birthday." May you live a long life and continue to advocate for Children's Human Rights worldwide.

"All of us share this world for but a brief moment in time. The question is whether we spend that time focused on what pushes us apart or whether we commit ourselves to an effort, a sustained effort to find common ground, to focus on the future we seek for our children and to respect the dignity of all human beings." Obama, speech, June 2009
