Your first link doesn't even mention the U.N., and directly contradicts your position. It does, however, do an excellent job of describing the National Park System's authority under U.S. statute.

Your second link merely identifies some locations in Alaska that are World Heritage Sites. A World Heritage Site is a site where the U.S. has voluntarily agreed to follow international guidelines in preserving the area. You have not demonstrated that the U.S. would behave differently concerning the preservation of these areas in the absence of such an agreement.

Incidentally, because the agreement has been duly signed and ratified, it also has the force of U.S. law under the U.S. Constitution. In a legal sense, it is U.S. law. Naturally, you have the right to petition our government to abrogate this treaty, and the U.S. has the right to secede from its conditions at any time.

In sum, your argument until this point appears to be UN=bad; UN=different; UN=treaty different; therefore, UN treaty=bad. Not much to hang your hat on.

"Your first link doesn't even mention the U.N.,"

No, it doesn't because it only gathers information for the UN through Congress. By this I mean that these reports are turned over to the UN for evaluation as new biospheres.

"A World Heritage Site is a site where the U.S. has voluntarily agreed to follow international guidelines in preserving the area."

Please, sincerely, explain to me why we need international guidelines for the preservation of these land areas in the UNITED STATES. Zimbabwe nor Uganda, nor any other country in this world should have any say whatsoever as to what is done to, for or with any land area in the UNITED STATES!

"because the agreement has been duly signed and ratified, it also has the force of U.S. law under the U.S. Constitution."

YES, THIS IS 100% TRUE. Again, please, sincerely, explain to me why we need to put American soil under the guidelines of a group that does NOT have the best interests of the United States first and foremost. Why do we need to follow any organizations policies that are not absolutely in line with our Constitution. The UN is concerned about a one world government, our Constitution says the powers to govern the US belong to American citizens who are authorized to vote, not Germans or Russians.

My opinion of the legislators who caress the socialist/communist UN is much lower than you think it is. I don't want my hat anywhere near them.

Are you aware of these hidden treaties?

a package of 34 treaties, all of which were ratified by a show of hands -- no recorded vote. The U.N. Convention to Combat Desertification was ratified by the U.S. Senate on October 18, but few Senators yet know that it has been ratified. Senator Craig Thomas (R-WY) introduced a package of 34 treaties, all of which were ratified by a show of hands -- no recorded vote.
