Fred. "sound economies"? NOT!
The United Nations Commission on Sustainable Development (CSD) was established by the UN General Assembly in December 1992 to ensure effective follow-up of United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED), also known as the Earth Summit.The Commission is responsible for reviewing progress in the implementation of Agenda 21 and the Rio Declaration on Environment and Development; as well as providing policy guidance to follow up the Johannesburg Plan of Implementation (JPOI) at the local, national, regional and international levels. The JPOI reaffirmed that the CSD is the high-level forum for sustainable development within the United Nations system.
I would vote that the UN is the one being misleading. They advertise that they are here to help - Fred sees their hypocrisy. I don’t see your point.
Here is the mandate of said committee:

Mandate of the Commission on Sustainable Development
The Commission on Sustainable Development (CSD) was established as a functional commission of the Economic and Social Council by Council decision 1993/207. Its functions are set out in General Assembly resolution 47/191 of 22 December 1992. The Commission is composed of 53 members elected for terms of office of three years, meets annually for a period of two to three weeks and receives substantive and technical services from the Department of Economic and Social Affairs/Division for Sustainable Development. The Commission reports to the Economic and Social Council and, through it, to the Second Committee of the General Assembly.
The Commission on Sustainable Development is an inter-governmental body whose members are elected by the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) from amongst the Member States of the United Nations and its specialized agencies. Thirteen members are elected from Africa; eleven from Asia; ten from Latin America and the Caribbean; six from Eastern Europe; and thirteen from Western Europe and other. One-third of the members are elected annually and outgoing members are eligible for re-election. Other States, United Nations organizations, accredited inter-governmental and non-governmental organizations can attend sessions of the CSD as observers.
The role of the Commission as a high level forum on sustainable development, includes:
to review progress at the international, regional and national levels in the implementation of recommendations and commitments contained in the final documents of the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED), namely: Agenda 21; and the Rio Declaration on Environment and Development.
to elaborate policy guidance and options for future activities to follow up the Johannesburg Plan of Implementation and achieve sustainable development
to promote dialogue and build partnerships for sustainable development with governments, the international community and the major groups identified in Agenda 21 as key actors outside the central government who have a major role to play in the transition towards sustainable development. These Major Groups include women, youth, indigenous peoples, non-governmental organizations, local authorities, workers and trade unions, business and industry, the scientific community, and farmers

Apparently you don’t know the meaning of the phrase “charged with”. He said that’s what they’re SUPPOSED to do, not that they were doing it.
It was this crappola and Hitlery trying to nationalize my life and health insurance industry that caused me to waste 5 of the best years of my life. (1 year running and 1 four year term as a citizen politician)
The thread about Tom McClintock bichin out the CA State Senator Steinberg for usurping the land-use authority that's supposed to remain with the local governments closest to the people REALLY UPSETS ME!!!
Local control in local hands is precisely what the founders of this nation relied upon to keep land-use and schools in proper order, with states having 10th Amendment rights in perpetuity!!!
This UN-American, One Whirled government, New Whirled Odor is enough to gag a maggot!!! It's all very Bush I and Bush II and Schwartzeneggeresque and sickening!!! I hate that Republicans are in ANY WAY involved in ANY of these post scum ideology and is yet another reason I've left the GOP in disgust!
If we could ever get a religion, or a political party that didn't develop power mad people in positions of leadership that constantly keep trying to compell fellow members into this asinine, bogus, unconstitutional crappola... I might finally be induced to join up and giddy up and work out with 'em. But as it is... fergedaboutit!!!
