3. The section on human rights calls for "equal participation and representation of men and women in government decision-making bodies." Again, a very nice sentiment but one with a problem. To implement it as the U.N. expects, governments would have to nominate members of Congress. In democracies, however, it is voters rather than governments who choose their representatives -- and they are statistically unlikely to choose a cross section of the population.In other words, the most sensitive and vital political questions are removed from democratic parliaments and the voters and handed over to an international committee nominated by foreign and often despotic regimes.

The Iraqi constitution is a prime example of a UN government.
No American should be dying in a foreign country in order to implement the UN's version of a governmental system.
