Another U.N. Attempt to Encroach on U.S. Sovereignty

[Lex Concord]

As you may be aware, the U.S. Senate is set to begin consideration on the U.N. Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.

Many believe that ratification of this treaty will have negative unintended consequences for families and, in particular, the rights of parents in the U.S. (that never happens, right )

Rather than copy/paste a wall-o-text, some links follow:

One position describing the concerns and asking for action (call your Senators):

Vote on United Nations Disability Treaty Imminent: Calls Needed!

Another link from the same source, including videos of some of the prior debates:

The convention, as published by the U.N.

Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities

Please take a moment to read and, if you are so inclined, call Coats and Lugar asking them to vote NO.

Whoa!
In the RUD (Best interest of the child understanding), it states:
"In order for States to live up to their treaty obligations, they must necessarily make judgements about childrens best interests continuously. Should the governments assessment of the child's best interests differ from that of the parents, the government gets to make the decision, not the parents."
Weird stuff man.

Thanks for posting this, Lex. It's been on my radar via the homeschooling connection for the past few weeks, but I figured I'd used up my proselytizing credits with the recent threads on education.

Let us also not forget the more generic UN Convention on the Rights of a Child. The US has signed it (many, many moons ago), but not ratified it as yet. It is no less dangerous to the sovereignty of parents than the CRPD.

I have been doing some research on this and IT IS A BAD DEAL! Call your representatives!

I think it's safe to assume, if its coming out of the UN, by default, our initial reaction should be: crush it. I don't see any benefit to the US in participating in treaties of this sort.

Or any sort for that matter. U.S. has nothing to gain and the citizens seem to have everything to lose.

Does this mean no more reporting to CPS and all calls will be forwarded to the government?

 

[beararms1776]

Call your representatives!

Done!

Ratification failed. But only by 6 votes.

Some of the usual suspects supporting the globalist treaty:

Bob Dole (R) - Former Presidential Candidate
John Kerry (D) - Former Presidential Candidate
John McCain (R) - Former Presidential Candidate
Richard Lugar (R) - Long term CFR member and Indiana Senator


Bob Dole Can’t Sway Republicans to Back UN Disabilities Treaty

Eight Senate Republicans broke ranks with their party and voted for the treaty: Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire, John Barrasso of Wyoming, Scott Brown of Massachusetts, Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe of Maine, Richard Lugar of Indiana, McCain, and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska.

UN disability treaty rejected by Senate

The ADA put the United States in the forefront of efforts to secure equal rights for the disabled, and it became the blueprint for the U.N. treaty, formally the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. The treaty was negotiated by the George W. Bush administration. It was completed in 2006 and President Barack Obama signed it in 2009.

Who were the 54 others that voted for ratification?

One World Order....it is coming...the march towards it has been going on for decades....Obama was picked to be president for this reason. He not only will sign all the treaties that will force us to live under the united nations rule, he will also get the 38 states he needs to change the Constitution to have unlimited terms. There is over 6100 new regulations that will go in affect soon that will continued to destroy our county....all this while he has watched Americans die and did nothing but lie. The UN and Obama will watch chemical weapons be used in Syria and do nothing. Thank you to all who voted for Obama...he wants to be King of the world and I am sure many other rulers want it as well. This will be world war 3.

I am not agreeing or disagreeing with your post, either in part, or in whole.

One thing everyone should keep in mind, however...

Obama didn't sign this treaty.

Bush did.

Thank G_d ratification failed, and thanks to any and all who called, wrote, or E-mailed your Senators.

Just like football. An ugly win is still a win

This is why the founders required 2/3...sadly, I don't know how long that will be a large enough requirement to keep us from being overrun.

I believe Germany recently outlawed homeschooling on the grounds of it not being in the best interest of kids. They have also outlawed circumcision at birth. Apparently, it's OK for parents to kill a child before they're born, but once they are, they can't do anything to "harm" it...Liberal logic 101

Glad to see that someone else sees it coming too! Revelation talks all about it! Regrettably, there isn't going to be anyway to stop it, but at least we know who wins in the end
