Lawmakers Warn Against UN Policies Threatening US Sovereignty

House Republicans are voicing strong opposition to perceived threats from the United Nations and its World Health Organization to U.S. sovereignty and free speech. During a press conference on the first day of Constitution Week, Representatives Ralph Norman and Bob Good highlighted concerns that the Biden-Harris administration aims to subordinate the U.S. to U.N. governance. They criticized the media for underreporting this critical issue, which they believe has significant implications for American citizens. The U.N. is set to host the 'Summit of the Future' to discuss three proposed international agreements, including the Pact for the Future, which would empower the U.N. Secretary-General to respond to global crises. This includes a range of potential emergencies, from environmental disasters to cyber disruptions. Republican lawmakers argue that such provisions would allow the U.N. to intervene in U.S. affairs at will, undermining national sovereignty. Additionally, the Declaration on Future Generations aims to eliminate inequality and poverty, while the Global Digital Compact seeks to regulate technology and combat misinformation. Critics, including Kristen Ullman from the Eagle Forum, assert that these initiatives threaten American freedoms and could lead to the U.N. dictating domestic laws. The ongoing debate reflects broader concerns about the balance of power between national governments and international organizations. Lawmakers are urging their colleagues to reject any agreements that would compromise U.S. autonomy, emphasizing the need for America to maintain control over its laws and governance.
