But since the stakes associated with another, largely unremarked story -- involving a drama that will reach its denouement at United Nations headquarters this week -- may be nothing less than the future sovereignty and character of the United States, a way must be found. As it happens, the answer lies in the toxic liquid now being pumped out of New Orleans into waterways that will, inexorably, contaminate the international reaches of Gulf of Mexico, and perhaps beyond. The United States unilaterally determined this potentially huge environmental damage is justified by the need to recover and restore a major American city, its population and economy. Interestingly, shortly before Katrina precipitated this crisis, a gaggle of former senior government officials wrote Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist demanding he swiftly effect ratification of the controversial Law of the Sea Treaty (or LOST) accord. The authors dismissed concerns of conservatives that LOST would impinge upon U.S. sovereignty and vital interests. If the United States were a party to the Law of the Sea Treaty today though, it is very likely America would be enjoined from dumping New Orleans' toxic stew into Lake Pontchartrain and the Mississippi River. For one thing, this would violate the Treaty's environmental obligations to protect marine life and its habitats, obligations whose sweep makes those of the Kyoto Treaty seem modest by comparison. --------------------------------------------------------- Read it all at http://www.washtimes.com/commentary/20050912-090351-9594r.htm ------------------------ Yahoo!
