Universal Declaration of Human Righrs


I have my own Declaration of Human Rights. Written just for me. It's called The Bill of Rights of The Constitution of the United States. It begins with the words, "Congress shall make no law...". There are no exceptions in it.

The United Nations' Universal Declaration of Human Rights Article 29, Paragraph 2) says, "In the exercise of his rights and freedoms, everyone shall be subject only to such limitations as are determined by law solely for the purpose of securing due recognition and respect for the rights and freedoms of others and of meeting the just requirements of morality, public order and the general welfare in a democratic society." To be specific, that's a loophole. A very big one. One you can drive a tank through. It allows government to define morality, public order, and the general welfare.

The International Convention on Civil and Political Rights has already been ratified as a treaty by the United States. It has the same reservations as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. And since a treaty is law, some elected and appointed officials seem to think that it allows curtailment of rights that are otherwise protected by the Constitution of the United States.

One specific example is the April 19, 1993 siege at Waco, Texas against the Mt. Carmel church. It was done in accordance with existing UN law, yet flagrantly violated almost the entire Bill of Rights of the Constitution of the United States.

Another specific example is the shooting down of the two Hermanos del Rescate Cessnas on February 26, 1995 (I think that's the date) in international waters in the Florida Strait. That was done in full compliance with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights because it was done under the guise of preserving public order.

Article 29 voids the entire document. The United Nations protects no human rights whatsoever.
