’Most people have no idea
that the United Nations has been drafting an environmental constitution for the
world that is intended to supersede all existing national laws. This
document has a working title of "Draft International Covenant on
Environment and Development" and you can read the entire thing right here. Work on this proposed world
environmental constitution has been going on since 1995, and the fourth edition
was issued to UN member states on September 22nd, 2010. This document is
intended to become a permanent binding treaty and it would establish an
incredibly repressive system of global governance. This
"covenant", as it is being called, claims authority over the entire
global environment and everything that affects it. Considering the fact
that everything that we do affects the environment in some way,
that would mean that this document would become the highest form of law
for all human activity. This proposed UN environmental constitution for
the world is incredibly detailed. The
Essentially what this proposed
environmental covenant does is it takes the sustainable development principles
underlying Agenda 21 and turns them into global constitutional law.
All parties to this new constitution
would be forced to turn their nations into centrally-planned societies where
all decisions about everything
are evaluated within the framework of sustainable development.
If the
If you doubt this, just read the document.
Let's take a closer look at some of
the wording in this proposed constitution for the world....
In documents such as these, drafters
have learned to never use the term "global government" because it
sets off alarm bells for people. So they often use the more
politically-correct term of "governance". On page 36, we are
told that proper governance includes the creation of governing institutions on
various levels "from the local to the global"....
"Governance
is the process of decision-making and the process by which decisions are
implemented (or not implemented). It also can be defined as the rational
organization of society in order to achieve the objectives emerging from its
common concerns emerging from material, economic, historical and cultural
foundations and needs. Governance includes the creation and the functioning of
institutions and of norms at various levels from the local to the global."
In the forward to the document, we
are told that the covenant is a "living document" that will serve as
a blueprint for an international agreement that the authors hope will
eventually be adopted by all members of the United Nations....
"The
Draft Covenant is a blueprint for an international framework (or umbrella)
agreement consolidating and developing existing legal principles related to
environment and development. The intention is that it will remain a “living
document” until – as is the hope and expectation of those who have been
involved in the project – it is adopted as a basis for multilateral
negotiations."
This project was originally focused
almost entirely on the environment, but the authors acknowledge that there has
been an increased focus on the "social and economic pillars" in this
latest edition....
"Special
care was taken to update it with respect to the ‘social and economic pillars’
and thereby avoid falling into the trap of concentrating solely on the ‘environmental
pillar’."
In the preamble we are told that a
"global partnership" is necessary in order to "achieve
sustainable development"....
"...the
belief that humanity currently stands at a decisive point in history, which
calls for a global partnership to achieve sustainable development"
Article 3 of this proposed global
constitution declares that the global environment should be under the
"protection" of "international law"....
"The
global environment is a common concern of humanity and under the protection of
the principles of international law, the dictates of the public conscience and
the fundamental values of humanity."
Later on in the document, things
start becoming more specific.
In Article 16, we are told that all
member nations must integrate environmental conservation into all of their
national decisions....
Parties
shall, at all stages and at all levels, integrate environmental conservation
into the planning and implementation of their policies and activities, giving
full and equal consideration to environmental, economic, social and cultural
factors. To this end, the Parties shall:
(a)
conduct regular national reviews of environmental and
developmental policies and plans;
(b)
enact, periodically review, and enforce laws and
regulations; and
(c)
establish or strengthen institutional structures and procedures
to integrate environmental and developmental issues in all spheres of
decision-making.
In Article 20, we are told that
parties to this treaty will be required to "mitigate the adverse effects
of climate change". That means that if this treaty is ratified in
the United States, the national debate about climate change will be over and
our national, state and local government institutions will all be required to
actively fight man-made global warming whether it actually exists or not....
Parties
shall take precautionary measures to protect the Earth’s climate system and
mitigate the adverse effects of climate change. To these ends, they shall
cooperate internationally inter alia to:
(a)
Measure their emissions and implement nationally appropriate mitigation
actions;
and
(b)
Establish risk management and implement adaptation measures to enable
climate-resilient development.
In Article 31, there is a requirement
to eradicate poverty. Yes, everyone should work hard to eliminate
poverty, but what this document envisions is a worldwide socialist system where
wealth is redistributed on a global scale....
Parties,
individually or in partnership with other States, international organizations
and civil society, in particular the private economic sector, shall adopt
measures aimed at the eradication of poverty, including measures to:
(a)
legally empower people living in poverty to exercise
their rights including the right to development;
(b)
respect, ensure, promote and fulfill the rights of
vulnerable and marginalized persons, in particular to food, water, housing and
other basic needs;
(c)
enable all individuals to achieve sustainable
livelihoods, in particular by increasing access to and control over resources,
including land;
(d)
rehabilitate degraded resources, to the extent
practicable, and promote sustainable use of resources for basic human needs;
(e)
provide potable water and sanitation;
(f)
provide education, with a particular focus on, and
with the participation of women and girl children, indigenous peoples, local
communities, and vulnerable or marginalized persons; and
(g)
support microcredit and microinsurance
schemes and the development of microfinance institutions and their capacities.
In the end, socialism always makes
everyone poorer, but unfortunately the United Nations has apparently not gotten
that memo yet.
In Article 32, there is a requirement
to recycle "to the fullest extent
possible".
If the
In Article 33, countries are required
to determine "the size of the human population their environment is
capable of supporting" and to implement measures to make sure that the
population does not exceed that level....
Parties
shall develop or strengthen demographic policies in order to achieve
sustainable development. To this end, the Parties shall:
(a)
conduct studies to estimate the size of the human
population their environment is capable of supporting and develop programmes relating to population growth at corresponding
levels;
(b)
cooperate to alleviate the stress on natural support
systems caused by major population flows;
(c)
cooperate as requested to provide a necessary
infrastructure on a priority basis for areas with rapid population growth;
(d)
provide to their populations full information on the
options concerning family planning;
and
(e)
provide for long-term resettlement of persons
displaced by changing environmental conditions.
As I have written about previously,
the elites that are pushing sustainable development are obsessed with population control and they love death.
Article 33 is definitely one of the
most chilling parts of the entire document.
In Article 34, nations are required
to maintain "an open and non-discriminatory international trading
system". This document affirms the emerging one world economic
system and sets out rules for how to participate in it in an environmentally
responsible way....
1.
Parties shall cooperate to establish and maintain an open and
non-discriminatory international trading system that equitably meets the
developmental and environmental needs of present and future generations.
To
this end, Parties shall endeavour to ensure that:
(a)
trade does not lead to the wasteful use of natural
resources nor interfere with their conservation or sustainable use;
(b)
trade measures addressing transboundary
or global environmental problems are based, as far as possible, on
international consensus;
(c)
trade measures for environmental purposes do not
constitute a means of arbitrary or unjustifiable discrimination or a disguised
restriction on international trade;
(d)
unilateral trade measures by importing Parties in response to activities which
are harmful or potentially harmful to the environment outside the jurisdiction
of such Parties are avoided as far as possible or occur only after consultation
with affected States and are implemented in a transparent manner; and
(e)
prices of commodities and raw materials reflect the full direct and indirect
social and environmental costs of their extraction, production, transport,
marketing, and, where appropriate, ultimate disposal.
In the commentary on Article 34, we
are told that a one world economic system that respects the environment is
"an essential component of sustainable development"....
Paragraph
1 sets out the duty to cooperate to establish and maintain an international
economic system that ensures inter- and intra generational equity, giving
effect to the principles enunciated in Articles 5 (Equity and Justice) and 10
(Right to Development) of the Draft Covenant. This duty has been recognized in
recent international instruments as being an essential component of sustainable
development.
In Article 41, nations are instructed
to integrate sustainable development principles into all decisions regarding
"infrastructure and town and country planning"....
Parties
shall establish and implement integrated physical planning systems, including
provisions for infrastructure and town and country planning, with a view to
integrating conservation of the environment, including biological diversity,
into social and economic development.
In Article 51, we learn how all of
this is going to be paid for.
It turns out that we will be required to
finance the implementation of all of these repressive new requirements....
1.
Parties undertake to provide, in accordance with their capabilities, financial
support and incentives for those national activities aimed at achieving the
objectives of this Covenant.
2.
Parties shall pursue innovative ways of generating public and private financial
resources for sustainable development.
In Article 52, it even tells us how
much of our national GDP we will be required to contribute....
Parties,
taking into account their respective capabilities and specific national and
regional developmental priorities, objectives and circumstances, shall endeavour to augment their aid programmes
to reach the United Nations General Assembly target of at least 0.7 percent of
Gross National Product for Official Development Assistance.
In Article 69, the International
Court of Justice and the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea are
essentially designated the "judicial branch" for this global
governance scheme....
1.
Parties shall settle disputes concerning the interpretation or application of
this Covenant by peaceful means, such as by negotiation, enquiry, mediation,
conciliation, arbitration, and judicial settlement, and where appropriate,
resort to regional agencies or arrangements, or by any other peaceful means of
their own choice.
2.
If Parties to such a dispute do not reach agreement within one year following
the notification by one Party to another that a dispute exists, the dispute
shall, at the request of one of the Parties, be submitted to either an arbitral
tribunal, including the Permanent Court of Arbitration, or to judicial
settlement, including by the International Court of Justice and the
International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea as appropriate.
Those that try to claim that this is
not a proposed constitution for the world are simply being delusional.
Article 71 even gives us detailed procedures for "amending" this
constitution.
If this document is not intended to
be a constitution, then why does it have a "preamble" like the U.S.
Constitution does, why is it organized into "articles" like the U.S.
Constitution is, and why does it set forth procedures for "amending"
the document like the U.S. Constitution does?
And notice that the word
"shall" is used constantly throughout the entire document. This
proposed constitution does not contain "suggestions" that the authors
hope will be followed. Rather, it contains commands which are intended to
be obeyed.
This document would establish a very
repressive system of world governance. The global elite believe that we
are not smart enough to think for ourselves and that they need to run the
entire planet like a tightly-controlled prison
in order to save the environment.
If you have a few moments, go look the document over, and then come
back and leave a comment with your opinion of it.....
