Is The UN Abolishing The U.S. Constitution?
Has America lost its sovereignty to a new world
order?
Pages: 1 2
Traditionally, international law
only governed the relations between nations. But now, this concept has evolved
into something that’s threatening the very foundation of our country.
Case in point: As young illegal
immigrants pour across the Mexican border from Central America, the United
Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) is hoping America grants them
refugee status.
The UN believes that if we refuse
these sick, poverty-stricken children, it will be a violation of international
law…
But American law specifically
prohibits the entrance of unaccompanied minors.
So now, both bodies of law are in
direct conflict – and the UN isn’t budging.
And this raises an important
question: Has America lost its sovereignty to a new world order?
God Bless the UN
Thanks to an evolution in
international law – which now governs the relations between individuals
and transnational corporations and organizations – the idea of national
sovereignty has eroded in many ways during the course of the last few decades.
And because of the UN’s
interference, media elites have started referring to illegal aliens as
refugees.
FOX News commentator Charles
Krauthammer addressed the word play being used: “If you treat them here as
refugees, you’re essentially saying everybody who wants [to enter the United
States] can come in. We should send buses to pick them up in Central America,
so they’re not going to die on top of Mexican trains.”
All kidding aside, the policy of
open borders might be well intentioned. But it just isn’t feasible.
Krauthammer continued: “We cannot…
open our borders up because of miserable conditions in certain countries –
otherwise, the Congo would empty and end up here.”
And just like the UN’s open border
policy, many of their rules are in conflict with the U.S. Constitution and
English Common Law, which form the basis of our legal system…
From the U.S. to the
Middle East
In addition to the immigration law
dilemma is the issue regarding taking unilateral action against foreign states
we deem “rogue.”
While it’s clear that the regime
of Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad has committed violations of international
law, it’s doubtful these violations would rise to the level that allows Obama
and the U.S. military to respond unilaterally.
Once again, the UN held the United
States back from exercising its rights as a nation…
After World War II, the
international law governing such military action was established within the UN
framework. This law forbids any and all use of force against other states (Art.
2(4) of the UN Charter), except for the purpose of individual or collective
self-defense (Art. 51), or as authorized by the UN Security Council for the
purposes of restoring or maintaining collective security (Arts. 39-42).
In order for a state to use force
in self-defense, it (or some other state) must have suffered an armed attack –
or under some interpretations, be the target of an imminent armed attack.
The international law never gives
authority to intervene in these civil conflicts. Syria’s Al-Assad isn’t
attacking another state; he is attacking his own citizens.
So if we had intervened in direct
opposition to international law, pilots and munitions officers may have been
charged.
It’s all very backwards…
The UN won’t protect Syria’s
citizens, but it’s more than happy to ship illegal aliens into our borders
(instead of making conditions better in the rogue countries.)
The complexity of international
law – and the undemocratic way in which it comes into existence – is a grave
threat to the freedom of all Americans. UN officials aren’t elected; in fact,
many are appointed by dictators and tyrants who control the rogue states around
the world.
And they’ve already threatened our
borders, the way we uphold justice, and the way we protect innocent foreign
civilians. In short, they threaten our very sovereignty.
The special freedoms we enjoy
under the U.S. Constitution could soon be distant memories. When international
law trumps American law, we all have a problem.
