My country was born in 1776 with our Declaration of Independence from Great Britain. This document presents the philosophical base upon which the United States of America has been built. Its most important point states as a "self-evident" truth that "Men are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights." In other words, the rights that are so often taken for granted (to life, speech, assembly, religion, ownership of a weapon, etc.) aren't granted by a government and cannot justly be taken away by a government. They are God-given and cannot be limited. These rights were then mentioned specifically in the U.S. Constitution's Bill of Rights.
But the UN never mentions God and never asserts that rights are granted by God. Its lavishly praised 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights states instead that rights are "granted ... by the constitution or by law." If a law grants rights, another law can cancel them. And this is precisely what the UN intends. It even says so in this same Universal Declaration where it states: "In the exercise of his rights and responsibilities, everyone shall be subject only to such limitations as are determined by law." In other words, a UN law, or a law approved by the UN, can be enacted to cancel whatever rights are granted by the UN.
This totalitarian attitude is then amplified in Article 29 of the UN's Declaration of Human Rights where one can read the following: "These rights and freedoms may in no case be exercised contrary to the purposes and principles of the United Nations." No one, therefore, shall have any rights if the enjoyment of them conflicts with the UN's desires.
Then in 1966, the UN produced its International Covenant of Civil and Political Rights. Again, various rights are mentioned but the power of the UN to cancel or modify them appears as each is mentioned. This is a blueprint for tyranny.
Anyone who has ever seen the Constitution of the former Soviet Union would recognize that the UN has followed the USSR's lead in mentioning rights and canceling them out in the very act of their being mentioned. In the Soviet Union, all persons were guaranteed freedom of religion, speech, assembly, etc. by the Soviet Constitution. But no one in the USSR was allowed to exercise those rights because the Constitution gave government the power to create laws suspending them. And these laws were indeed created. This is precisely what should be expected if the UN should ever become dominant.
