Membership in the UN means accepting that the human rights trumps any of your own laws. Any country is of course free to leave the UN, and since the US is a democracy, you are of course free to start a "leave the UN"-party.

America does every time they use UN rules to invade a place or pressure say the government of Myanmar or put sanctions on Iran the list goes on and on.

Your statement begs the question. Give me an example.

Do I really need to google every resolution for proof or can we just leave it at Iraq 2003

Re: Obamacare Going Down?
And how exactly is the invasion of Iraq tied to the U.N. declaration of human rights?

Re: Obamacare Going Down?
Oh you two, get a room! gaelic is suggesting that by requesting, voting for and acting on UN resolutions we are implicitly accepting UN supra-national authority, a debatable point. rvg is saying "nuh-uh."
Re: Obamacare Going Down?
Not sure which part you ask about, so I'll answer both:
Who decides that being a member in the UN means accepting he UNHCR? The UN does. If you don't sccept, you can't be a member.
Who decides that the UNHCR is above any other law? The UNHCR does. The preamble, article 2 and article 30 says where, when and to whom it applies.

Re: Obamacare Going Down?
Interesting... Let's take a look at the point #7 of the Article 2, Chapter 1:
i.e. it's none of the UN's damn business.Nothing contained in the present Charter shall authorize the United Nations to intervene in matters which are essentially within the domestic jurisdiction of any state or shall require the Members to submit such matters to settlement under the present Charter; but this principle shall not prejudice the application of enforcement measures under Chapter Vll.[1]

Re: Obamacare Going Down?
I see little future for you as a lawyer.
Edit: nor do I see a future for myself as alanguage teacher, but I already knew that. Where the abbreviation "unhcr" came from, I will never know. I was, of course, referring to the declaration of human rights, UDHR. I may have been thinking "un human rights commission" or something, but I blame it on the coke.

Rest easy, I'm not a lawyer. Nonetheless, my point stands.

Re: Obamacare Going Down?
If your point stands, I suggest you visit China's embassy. I'm quite sure they're interested in knowing how to argue that the human rights does not apply to them. Should earn a living on that.
