Fred on the L.O.S.T. Treaty
28 October 2007I’m a bit late getting this up, but Fred has spoken out on the Law of the Sea Treaty, a disaster that will steal away our national sovereignty and our rights to freely traverse the seas with our Navy. Fred has posted it on Fred08.
I oppose the ratification of the Law of the Sea Treaty at this time. The Treaty threatens U.S. sovereignty and gives a U.N.-affiliated organization far too much authority over U.S. interests in international waters. The American people also deserve ironclad assurances that the problems with the treaty highlighted by President Reagan more than two decades ago have been fixed. At a time when customary international law in this area has proven sufficient, I believe the efforts of treaty proponents would be better spent reforming an ineffective, unaccountable, and corrupt United Nations. Until such reforms are complete, I see little reason for the U.S. to move forward on the Law of the Sea Treaty.
All we need is to agree to a treaty that would turn over decisions on wether we should be “allowed” to use our own Navy in international waters to some international police group that we ALREADY know hate us and would rule against us at every turn!
I am glad Fred has come out against this mess.
