In a riveting discussion on Conversations That Matter for The New American magazine, international law authority Dr. Francis Boyle delivered a comprehensive analysis on the implications of the United Nations’ newly established “Pact for the Future,” addressing concerns about sovereignty and international governance.
During the interview, Boyle, a seasoned professor of international law at the University of Illinois and draftsman of the U.S. legislation for the Biological Weapons Convention, expressed profound apprehension regarding the UN’s recently adopted Pact for the Future and the potential to restructure global power dynamics.
Boyle described the pact as an audacious power grab by the UN Secretary-General, highlighting that under its terms, the Secretary-General “will now have authority over everyone there at the United Nations, except the Security Council and the World Court,” a move he argues fundamentally breaches the United Nations Charter’s intended independence of its organs.
Compounding this, the pact’s adoption process was scrutinized by Boyle, who insisted, “The U.N. is trying to present this as if it were adopted by consensus. It was not,” noting the significant number of abstentions and votes against it. He further commented on its misleading portrayal as a consensus resolution, alerting to its possible classification as customary international law.
The dialogue transitioned to a consideration of domestic implications in the United States, capturing Boyle’s warnings on how this could affect American sovereignty: “It will become an international treaty that could pose a dire threat to the sovereignty of any state that signs on to it.” His cautions rallied against possible actions by U.S. government officials that could lead to further entanglement with the U.N.’s expanding reach.
Dr. Boyle also addressed the burgeoning criticisms within the United States, referencing a congressional press conference and the 26 U.S. governors openly challenging the pact, marking it an “attack on our sovereignty.” He related these events to the current political climate, symbolizing a potential stepping stone toward reclaiming legislative power: “We need to exercise the power of the purse there in Congress right now controlled by the Republicans.”
Amidst the discourse, emphasis was placed on actionable strategies to combat these international resolutions. Boyle advocated for a withdrawal from the World Health Organization: “We have to stop them right away.” This suggestion reflects the underlying urgency he associates with combating what he portrays as threats to national and constitutional integrity.
In closing, Boyle implored American citizens and officials to unify in defense of the republic, emphasizing the necessity of collective action: “We all have a stake in this republic. We all have a stake in our Constitution. And we have to fight for it against these globalists.”
Conversations That Matter promises ongoing coverage of this contentious topic, providing insights from within the sphere of U.S. governance as well as international law. As the global political landscape continues to evolve, voices like Dr. Boyle’s will remain pivotal in delineating the contours of these debates, shedding light on developments that could reshape the nature of national sovereignty worldwide.
