Bill Introduced in New Congress to End US Involvement with the United Nations

One idea behind the formation of the United Nations was to provide a platform for the nations of the world to discuss and work out differences with the goal of avoiding another conflict like World War II. Taken at face value, that sounds good. After all, no civilized leaders or peoples would want to put the world through another such horrific war that visited such misery and destruction on tens of millions if it could be avoided.

The problem is that the implementation has not worked out that way. Instead, wars continue unabated. While we’ve not had WW III (yet), the wars that have been fought since the UN was formed, when viewed as the sum of the parts, have resulted in a devastating level of human suffering. To add to that failure, the UN has become a source of tiresome and obnoxious attacks by despots and others around the world on the US. In its present form, the organization is worthless.

Hence, we are encouraged by happenings in the US Congress as a bill is introduce to get the US out of the UN and boot the failed organization out of the US.

Amid growing outrage on both sides of the aisle surrounding the United Nations, legislation to get the U.S. government out of the UN and evict the scandal-plagued global body from the United States has been re-introduced in the new Congress. If approved, H.R.193, better known as the “American Sovereignty Restoration Act,” would end U.S. participation in and funding of the widely ridiculed “dictators club” while protecting American sovereignty under the Constitution. Support for the effort is spreading like wildfire.

As in past years, the measure to defend the rights and self-government of the American people from escalating UN attacks will undoubtedly face intense opposition from entrenched globalists and the “swamp” establishment. However, analysts and lawmakers believe the bill stands its best ever chance of becoming law this session — especially under the anti-globalist, anti-establishment Trump administration and a Congress that remains incensed at a recent anti-Israel UN Security Council resolution targeting Jews in East Jerusalem and other areas.

Apparently the UN has poked the US in the eye with a stick a few too many times, and may now experience the natural result of such behavior.

If approved, the legislation would repeal the UN Participation Act of 1945, which authorized U.S. involvement, and shutter the U.S. government’s mission to the outfit. It would also “terminate all membership by the United States in the United Nations, and in any organ, specialized agency, commission, or other formally affiliated body of the United Nations.” That specifically includes UNESCO, which President Ronald Reagan withdrew from, along with the World Health Organization, the UN Environment Program (UNEP), the UN’s dictator-controlled “Human Rights Council,” and more. It would end all U.S. involvement in all UN conventions and agreements, too.

The so-called “Human Rights Council” is especially disgraceful as it serves as a vehicle for some of the most despotic regimes in the world to masquerade as champions of human rights while attacking other nations that actually do respect the rights of their own citizens. The existence of such a council with such members, in and of itself, makes a farce out of the UN.

This bill to end US involvement in the UN can be reviewed and tracked here.

Let us hope that it becomes law.
