While the dinosaur-media across the west repeat the authorized mantra “it’s not legally binding,” the sub-text is that it will be used to create new law. I'm referring to the Global Compact on Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration. On the surface then it is true; the compact is not a Treaty or a UN Convention.
Therefore it is not in and of itself a legal document and it creates no new law. By the insidious nature of all things UN, the compact does clearly set out the framework to invite creation of new law.
For that reason (and many others) it is all to reasonable to expect government and activist lawyers will refer to the GC as a guiding document for new legislation. The GC will become the legislative model within individual countries.
I’ve previously written about the compact here, here, here, and here.
The Global Compact on Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration (GC) is likely the single-most invasive power-grab of an the unelected and unaccountable United Nations in history.
When the UN calls the GC a “cooperative framework” which “fosters international cooperation among all relevant actors on migration,” they're to be taken at their word.
Significantly, and not accidentally, something the UN does is to remind sovereign States of “their obligations under international law.”
Mark your calendar now, for within weeks of the December 10th signing, there will be legal cases brought which will declaim countries obligation to accommodate all migrants. This is the obvious next step toward the objective of eliminating sovereign borders. Signers of the compact, let’s say Trudeau, will pretend to be upset, “shocked, shocked I say!”
These leaders will then obediently surrender to UN. These legal moves are all attacks to effectively null centuries of western legal tradition, no minor thing. Check out this bit from the GC:
| “National sovereignty: The Global Compact reaffirms the sovereign right of States to determine their national migration policy and their prerogative to govern migration within their jurisdiction, in conformity with international law.” |
Under the GC then, governments will create a migration policy. Not having a migration policy is not an option, because they signed it!
There will not be a closed border policy. Think Quebec's infamous Roxham Road cloned all the way to the Pacific. Worse, consider Greece, Spain, and California.
Individual countries’ governments will simply write their own made-in [your post-national State] domestic migration law. There you have it. Boom!
In a democracy with a majority government holding special admiration for (despots, thieves, and blood-soaked killers, yes,) the United Nations can and will simply modify the UN text to suit best its domestic climate and its political machinations.
In a parliamentary minute the Global Compact on Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration will be made legally binding. And with that, the deed; it be done. There goes our scaffolding!
