-Caveat Lector- WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a Prelude to War! CONGRESS PUTS U.S. LAND UNDER U.N. CONTROL WILLIAM F. JUD 31 DECEMBER 2000 3429 MADISON 423 (573) 783-8210 FREDERICKTOWN MO 63645 ONE PAGE CONGRESS PUTS U.S. LAND UNDER U.N. CONTROL In an outrageous display of legislative malpractice, on 18 October 2000, members of the United States Senate, anxious to get home to campaign for re-election, ratified a package of 34 treaties which included the U. N. Convention To Combat Desertification, or "Desertification Treaty," which effectively puts land use in much of United States under United Nations control for a minimum of four years and potentially forever, and also ratified the International Plant Protection Convention. Both treaties subject United States internal environmental policy to United Nations international control . The Desertification Treaty's stated objective is prevention of desertification. United Nations enforcers now have treaty power to stop and reverse any activity which they believe may move land closer to a desert condition. Examples of prohibited activity include converting forest land to pasture, or pasture to cropland, or cropland to industrial, commercial or urban uses. Land control applies to all land, whether publicly or privately owned. Enforcement of United Nations policies likely will be through the newly created International Criminal Court which claims self-granted authority to re-define its jurisdiction to include "environmental" crimes. The package of 34 treaties was ratified by a show of hands by Senators who were present. There is no recorded vote and no way, other than asking each Senator, to know who voted for or against. A quorum may not even have been present. The ratified Desertification Treaty, which President Clinton signed in 1994, was delivered to the United Nations by the Clinton Administration on November 17 and will go into effect on 15 February 2001, binding the United States to international law which claims power and authority to control use of 73% of the earth's rangeland and 47% of the earth's cropland. The United Nations seeks to control the remaining approximately 30% of the earth's land through the Convention On Biological Diversity. The United Nations Commission On Water For The 21st Century is working on a companion treaty to control use of the earth's water. The goal is creation of a United Nations bureaucracy to restrict and control through international law the use of all natural resources in compliance with United Nations Agenda 21 and principles of Sustainable Development. The Desertification treaty authorizes the United Nations to dictate world-wide land use policy. Implementing that policy is the job of individual member nations, not the United Nations directly. To comply with U.N. demands and policies, our federal and state governments, aided by environmental organizations, have pursued a vast expansion of land regulation and land acquisition, particularly during the eight years of the Clinton/Gore Administration. On a roll, treaty writers included additional, sweeping demands. There are requirements for approved school environmental curricula, and for massive and ongoing transfer of funds and technology from rich nations such as the United States to poor nations everywhere. Non-Governmental-Organizations (NGOs) such as the Sierra Club are guaranteed participation in setting international and domestic land use policies. Land owners are excluded from the process of making and implementing land use policy. Treaty ratification was done without parliamentary procedure, review, comment, debate, and recorded vote, which makes a mockery of the Constitutional process and puts American citizens increasingly under control of a United Nations bureaucracy whose Socialist member nations have a long track record of opposing United States interests. The slipshod, Unconstitutional way in which the Senate ratified the package of 34 treaties provides sufficient grounds for un-ratifying and voiding the Desertification and Plant Protection treaties, but only if an enraged citizenry rises up and demands redress from Congress. *COPYRIGHT NOTICE** In accordance with Title 17 U.
