"Directly following the 9/11 attacks, the U.N. Security Council created the Counter-Terrorism Committee (CTC) to become the lead U.N. agent in the war on terror. Since then, the CTC has failed to name a single terrorist, terrorist organization or state-sponsor of terrorism. The three U.S.-identified state sponsors of terror – Iran, Syria and Sudan – have submitted reports to the CTC about their compliance with Resolution 1373. In the absence of any U.N. definition of terrorism, all three states have readily proclaimed that they are engaged in a vigorous campaign to combat terrorism despite clear and irrefutable evidence to the contrary.In 2015, the U.S. contributed over $650 million to the U.N. budget – over 22% of their budget – making the U.S. the largest contributor.
This week, Congressman Walker joined Guilford County Sheriff B.J. Barnes, Rockingham County Sheriff Sam Page, and Alamance County Sheriff Terry Johnson to unveil his latest bill, the Define It to Fight It Act. This bill withholds 10% of United States funding to the United Nations until the intergovernmental organization defines "international terrorism."
Since the 9/11 attacks, the United Nations should have been fighting the increasing threat of terrorism, but they fail to even provide a simple definition to the term "international terrorism.” In the wake of yet another terrorist attack in Paris, the world still waits on the U.N. to present a clear understanding of what they’re fighting. The American taxpayers should not be the largest bankroller for an organization that fails to define what we’re up against." |
