The UN Charter, in its Preamble, set an objective: “to establish conditions under which justice and respect for the obligations arising from treaties and other sources of international law can be maintained”. Ever since, the development of, and respect for international law has been a key part of the work of the Organization. This work is carried out in many ways – by courts, tribunals, multilateral treaties – and by the Security Council, which can approve peacekeeping missions, impose sanctions, or authorize the use of force when there is a threat to international peace and security, if it deems this necessary. These powers are given to it by the UN Charter, which is considered an international treaty. As such, it is an instrument of international law, and UN Member States are bound by it. The UN Charter codifies the major principles of international relations, from sovereign equality of States to the prohibition of the use of force in international relations.

The United States (US) government is one of the biggest violator of international law. Most countries of the world consider the US government as the greatest threat to world peace. It goes entirely against the essence of the establishment of the United Nations. In its 240-year history, it has cared nothing about, “establishing conditions under which justice and respect for the obligation arising from treaties and other sources of international law can be maintained.”
Let’s just take the case of Puerto Rico. The US government has recently said that Puerto Rico is its property, and can sell her if it wants to. That in itself reveals a total disrespect for a People!
The United Nations has issued thus far 35 resolutions asking the United States government to immediately decolonize Puerto Rico, because international law regards colonialism as a crime against humanity. And as such, it constitutes a threat to world peace. So, what has the US government done about it?
The US government has ignored all 35 resolutions! And just recently, US President Obama signed into law the Puerto Rico Fiscal Control Board, so that the US government could continue to exploit Puerto Rico. And that is what the US government really feels about the threat to world peace.
I think that it is time for the UN to use its authority to use force against the United States for maintaining a threat to international peace and security.
We the people need to peacefully protest for Puerto Rico decolonization, because those who care nothing about the threat to international peace and security don’t believe in JUSTICE FOR ALL! www.TodosUnidosDescolonizarPR.blogspot.com
