Not so very long ago, something like this would have been unimaginable.<\/p>\n

From NCR: <\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Amnesty International named the Vatican in its annual report on human rights\u2019 concerns for not sufficiently complying with international mandates on protecting children from abuse.<\/p>\n

It marked the first time the Vatican was named in the group\u2019s Annual Report on the state of human rights around the world. The 2011 Annual Report covered human rights in 157 countries, looking particularly at rights abuses and restrictions and at failures to implement international rights\u2019 agreements.<\/p>\n

The report, released May 13, said, \u201cThe Holy See did not sufficiently comply with its international obligations relating to the protection of children,\u201d specifically regarding sex abuse.<\/p>\n

The Vatican is party to the United Nations\u2019 Convention on the Rights of the Child.<\/p>\n

Article 19 of the convention says that states parties \u201cshall take all appropriate legislative, administrative, social and educational measures to protect the child from all forms of physical or mental violence, injury or abuse, neglect or negligent treatment, maltreatment or exploitation, including sexual abuse.\u201d<\/p>\n

The article also says measures should be implemented to aid in prevention, reporting and investigation of abuse as well as care for victims and, \u201cas appropriate,\u201d the involvement of the court system.<\/p>\n

The Amnesty International report said, \u201cIncreasing evidence of widespread child sexual abuse committed by members of the clergy over the past decades, and of the enduring failure of the Catholic Church to address these crimes properly, continued to emerge in various countries.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
