The un pulled it off.

[DoughtyOne]

The U.N. would destroy modern civilization if it could. It’s sure trying hard enough.

[SpinnerWebb]

How long until Ahmahwackjob proposes sanctions on the U.S. for violations?

[hophead]

What’s the problem? I am a native of the USA!

[Jedi Master Pikachu]

Were the 11 abstainers Latin American countries without the courage to vote against?

[DoughtyOne]

Oh wait, wasn’t the ground the U.N. building is on now, tribal lands? Why for certain it was. Better raise the building right away and give back the land.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...

[TChris]

Well, "native" can mean different things. Do these geniuses propose that what we now call "Native Americans" have always inhabited the Americas?

What point in time does one choose in order to declare a particular country's natives The Natives?

[DoughtyOne]

They’re probably already drawn up and submitted.

[counterpunch]

The United Nations General Assembly has adopted a non-binding declaration on the rights of indigenous peoples after 22 years of debate.

Right on time for the UN, and with all the authority we've come to expect.

 

[weegee]

Will they protect the indigenous peoples of Ireland, England, and Scotland?

[dellbabe68]

22 years... and now it will be non-binding.

[Jedi Master Pikachu]

Do the English have to return land to the Welsh? (rhetorical).

[chaos_5]

Now lets see them enforce it.

[weegee]

“give more control to tribal peoples over the land and resources they traditionally possessed, and to return confiscated territory”

Does this mean the muslim invaders of Lebanon have to give it back to the Christians?

[DoughtyOne]

Good queation, meanwhile where are we supposed to move to now that ‘the natives’ get their land back, or we have to pay them at today’s rates for the complete territory of the United States?

The U.N. has long since passed the point of no return. Will our leaders ever wake up?

Definition of “indigenous” or "native":
Originating and living or occurring naturally in an area or environment.

I am indigenous to the United States. I am a native American. I was born here, live here, and I occurred naturally. [I’m sure the same can’t be said for some on the left.]

[SolidWood]

The Muslims would have to withdraw to some sand cave in Saudi Arabia. All of the “Muslim” lands in the Middle East were once Christian or Zoroastrian.

[the OlLine Rebel]

Already discussed this today (before passage).

The time limit is 1492, and based only on Whitey Europeans incursions since then.

Noone else has ever pushed out/killed off any “race”, you see.

Just like no nation except the US has ever had slaves.

[MaestroLC]

adopted a non-binding declaration

This is worthless. Shows how utterly fascist they are towards freedom.

Like the League of Nations in the 1930s and their inept response to the rise of Nazism, the U.N. will be similarly inept and dissolved in response to the rise of Islamo-Nazism.

[the OlLine Rebel]

White-on-white, we don’t care about.
