In their coercive Declaration of Human Rights, they leave out the right to refuse to kill.  Anyway, I know that that's a natural right, but it's also a "humanitarian" right.

Is the fact that they leave that out a good indicator that they could be pro-draft?  I know that they're not pro-peace, but does anyone think they may go as far as to have their member states invoke the draft?

I wouldn't put it past them. What they really want is one global army to "keep the peace." "Nuclear disarmament" means "give the UN all the nukes so they can rule the world."

The Declaration of Human Rights is the most evil document on the face of planet. It's that much more evil because everyone thinks it's so wonderful. We give you rights. We can take them away. Tyranny.

Well, I think the U.N. could ask it's member states to invoke the draft, in which Obama would probably comply.

Thanks for replies:)

The UN has never been able to get its member states to do anything they didn't want to do already, so why would the UN be able to persuade member states to invoke a draft?  Those that would invoke a draft were governments already looking to do so.  They just went through the UN to justify their decision.

"These rights and freedoms may in no case be exercised contrary to the purposes and principles of the United Nations."

My personal Anarcho-Capitalist flag. The symbol in the center stands for "harmony" and "protection"-- I'm hoping to illustrate the bond between order/justice and anarchy.

Thanks, Beefheart. Also:

Article Four of the UN Covenant on Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights:

"The States Parties to the present Covenant recognize that, in the enjoyment of those rights provided by the State … the State may subject such rights only to such limitations as are determined by law."
