Father and Mother are the Rights of the Child

Today is our share and tomorrow is for today's children. I don't say that children are the heroes of tomorrow so look after them because they might have a different decision for the world. We want to give children, their rights and don't want to judge about future because the goodness and the badness of what doesn't belong to us, isn't ours, and the difficulty and the easiness of what doesn't belong to us, isn't ours.  
Are the children that find themselves in the orphanages or the children who don't know who their parents were, the consequences of tsunami, earthquake or war?
No, none of it is true. In fact they're the consequences of the fathers that were forced to mature by the laws of nature. They're the consequences of the mothers who might bravely defend their interests but easily forget the rights of the child they bear in their womb.
Paragraph 1 article 18 of the Convention on the Rights of the Child states:

States Parties shall use their best efforts to ensure recognition of the principle that both parents have common responsibilities for the upbringing and development of the child. Parents or, as the case may be, legal guardians, have the primary responsibility for the upbringing and development of the child. The best interests of the child will be their basic concern.

The lack of the presence of the law that is the fulfiller of the word "ensure" is felt. I forgot to mention that the congress didn't even pass this convention!
Paragraph (D) article 16 of the Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of Discrimination against Women states:

The same rights and responsibilities as parents, irrespective of their marital status, in matters relating to their children; in all cases the interests of the children shall be paramount.

In both of these conventions the term "responsibility" has been used. The question is: what's ensuring of performing this responsibility?!
Proper laws are passed for people escaping from paying taxes, but are there any similar rules passed for people escaping from the responsibility of parental responsibility?!
