“Senate Should Move Quickly to Join Convention on Law of the Sea,” says the heading of a May 4
press release from the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR).
As noted
here in April, it was to be expected that the usual lobbyists for world government would exploit the recent increase in Somali pirate activity to push for Senate ratification of the UN Law of the Sea Treaty (LOST).
And, as we pointed out
here and
here in February, the campaign to provide the United Nations with vast new legislative, judicial, and executive powers — including the power to tax all earthlings, Americans not excepted — is being led by the CFR, which has been in the forefront of this and other “global governance” power grabs.
CFR’s
new report,
The National Interest and the Law of the Sea
“joining the convention will allow the United States to extend U.S. sovereignty over as much as one million square kilometers of additional ocean, an area half the size of the Louisiana Purchase.”
