Much of the world seems to be on edge these days. The West’s relationship with Russia, the future of NATO, the Syrian civil war and refugees, rising right-wing populism, the impact of automation and the UK’s impending departure from the EU: all of these topics — and more — are roiling public debate worldwide.
Human security and sustainable development are two of the major tasks of the UN. The US is a permanent member of the UN Security Council and thus should comply with the UN’s guidelines. This means enforcing the core values of One World under One Set of Laws and assigning international law priority over domestic law, with direct effect on the rights and duties of the people. Citizens should be able to monitor operations of the government to ensure it complies with the norms of the UN Charter. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development for more.
