Signed and ratified are two different things Surely. Nadine said US did not sign Kyoto. But that is not correct. I pointed that out. As for the UN charter - we wrote it in concert with our partners at the end of WW2 And signed it. And so are bound by it now. Explain the UN Charter issue please Oh you know, the usual: It precludes attack on any nation for any reason, except in two instances: (1) invoking actual self-defense under Article 51 before the Security Council of the United Nations Charter when being attacked by another nation, and (2) under Chapter 7 of the U.N. Charter where the Security Council invokes collective defense against threats to world peace. The U.S. signed the U.N. Charter. Thus, it has the weight of a U.S. treaty which, under Article 6 of your Constitution, is incorporated as part of the Supreme Law of the United States.
