Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evolving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Rules For the rest of the Site also accessible on the sidebar.

My digging on it is “lackluster”, but I think that document is absolutely something we should take a good look at.
Repost with circles and red lines and a drop that has no relation to it at all and you will have ten thousand updoots
missed it, an important post!
So Treaties in Force, do they supercede the Constitution?
UN Participation Act of 1949, is all legislation meant to comply with the UN? The Security Council replaced the League of Nations as the law-making organ of the UN, its decisions are binding, UN General Assembly resolutions are expressions of will, but not legally binding.
Under the UN there are regional organizations with Declarations of Human Rights, so USA is part of the Organization of American States (OAS) and it has a court of human rights. The human rights document for the Americas is actually pro-life.
Here’s the OAS charter https://www.oas.org/en/sla/dil/inter_american_treaties_A-41_charter_OAS.asp & “American Convention on Human Rights” https://www.oas.org/dil/treaties_b-32_american_convention_on_human_rights.pdf
Reid v. Covert treaties cannot supersede the Constitution, and when applied treaties cannot abrogate individual rights or separation of powers of government.

Behold A Pale Horse has good discussions on how internationalists intended for the UN to allow Congress to make laws which without the UN such new laws could not be passed. And the Cooley and Norton scholars are brought upon the topic.

I like the opinion of Reid v. Covert
Asia does not have a comprehensive organization or system. During the Cold War, the Communist Bloc nations had their International Covenant on Civil &Political Rights & western Bloc nations had for their human rights framework the Intl. Covenant on Economic, Social & Cultural Rights (ICESCR).
And we know how Obummer & sHillary treated Qaddafi as he helped lead the African Union.
It’s always curious how posts take off. I posted a .. comment really, about Vegas and it has more hits than this one, which seems much more important to dig into.
