Like all of Obama's initiatives, the International Organized Crime Intelligence and Operations Center (or IOC-2), when considered alone and apart from the context of the whole of the Obama administration, can be plausibly justified. International crime is certainly growing and technology is certainly facilitating it.
So the new domestic IOC-2 Center has grandiose ambitions, "A first item of joint action should be a commitment to the full implementation of the UN Convention Against Corruption at the Conference of State Parties that will be held in Doha, Qatar, next month."
But don't worry, your rights will be not be decided in the grottoes of the UN because the, "UN Convention Against Corruption must include an effective review mechanism," which means, "this review process must be credible, transparent, and effective. "
If there is one thing that the United Nations and the Obama administration have in common it is that neither is "credible nor transparent." Certainly the United Nations has never been effective and the Obama administration is hard-pressed to show any effective accomplishment as well. The Obama administration might be the most opaque administration modern American history.
Considered out of the context of the United Nations at the Obama administration an initiative against international organized crime might not be worrisome but considered in the context of the corruption, cronyism, deception, and Marxism of both the administration and the United Nations, the initiative is worse than worrisome, it is terrifying.
