The Soon Coming Judgment Of God Upon America and How To Escape It                 324
I. Lenin, founder of the Soviet Union, as a political leader, whose ideals were reflected in the UN
Charter.”

In a Constitutional Analysis of the United Nations, Herbert Titus states that the UN
Charter is not merely a treaty but a world constitution. He writes:
…a charter is a constitution creating a civil government for a unified
nation or nations and establishing the authority of that government. Although the
United Nations Treaty Collection defines a `charter' as a `constituent treaty,'
leading international political authorities state that '[t]he use of the word 'Charter'
[in reference to the founding document of the United Nations] . . . emphasizes the
constitutional nature of this instrument.' Thus, the preamble to the Charter of the
United Nations declares 'that the Peoples of the United Nations have resolved to
combine their efforts to accomplish certain aims by certain means.'
Titus further writes:
Consistent with this view, leading international legal authorities declare
that the law of the Charter of the United Nations which governs the authority of
the United Nations General Assembly and the United Nations Security Council is
'similar . . . to national constitutional law,' proclaiming that `because of its status
as a constitution for the world community,' the Charter of the United Nations
must be construed broadly, making way for 'implied powers' to carry out the
United Nations' 'comprehensive scope of duties, especially the maintenance of
international peace and security and its orientation towards international public
welfare.'

The UN Charter primarily deals with the establishment of the U.N., the U.N. councils and
the governing body of the U.N. It establishes their responsibilities and how they operate. The
U.N. councils include the Security Council, the Economic and Social Council, the Trusteeship
Council, and the International Court of Justice. The Preamble states that the U.N.’s purpose is
“to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war, which twice in our lifetime has brought
untold sorrow to mankind, and to reaffirm faith in fundamental human rights, in the dignity and
worth of the human person, in the equal rights of men and women and of nations large and
small…” Specific human rights are dealt with in later treaties.
The fact that the UN Charter forms an actual world government is most clearly revealed
in Article 103, which states: “In the event of a conflict between the obligations of the Members
of the United Nations under the present Charter and their obligations under any other
international agreement, their obligations under the present Charter shall prevail.” The U.S.
Constitution is in fact an international agreement that binds the 50 states (nations) making up the
U.S. into a Federal Union. Therefore, the UN Charter supersedes the U.S. Constitution.
