The whole world did not sign and many have not ratified it.

We can look into the recent history of many of those countries and it makes the whole act look like nothing more than a passion play.

I am not saying that the US should not have it's own standards, just don't hold up UNCAT as some standard that everyone is using, because obviously it means very little to most of the countries on that list. It is nothing more than a feel good document. Pretty typical of what comes out of the UN.
