government and continues toward that end today. It was Americans who planed and founded the
United Nations along with its allies from WW II. These American founders are the ones who
originally envisioned the U.N. as a one-world government. The UN Charter was largely written
by Americans and accepted by representatives of the allied governments in 1945 at a conference
in San Francisco. When ratified by the U.S. Senate, the UN Charter received only two dissenting
votes.
The U.N. headquarters is in New York City on an 18-acre track of land donated by John
D. Rockefeller, Jr. U.S. contributions to the U.N. make up approximately 22 to 25 percent of the
U.N. budget. U.S. contributions to peacekeeping are even higher, approximately 30 percent. In
2002 and 2003, total U.S. contributions were over $3 billion annually. But the U.S. also makes
indirect contributions to the U.N.’s peacekeeping efforts out of the Pentagon budget. Between
1995 and 2001 this amounted to approximately $4 billion per year. U.S. contributions are almost
1,400 percent higher than the U.N.’s next largest contributor. The U.N. is very much dependent
on U.S. contributions for its very existence.
According to the Heritage Foundation, the U.S. is also the largest contributor to two of
the U.N. subsidiary agencies that have the greatest impact on the developing nations of the
world. These are the International Monetary Fund and World Bank. They further state that
recipients of loans from these agencies do not experience greater economic growth. Rather than
contributing to economic growth these two international agencies are purveyors of major
economic problems throughout the world.
The U.N. doesn’t even benefit U.S. interest. Of the nonaligned nations (those who are
neither aligned with the communist or the West), a majority of the delegates in the General
Assembly voted with the communists 85% of the time. In 1987 the U.N. “member nations voted
with the U.S. only 18.7% of the time. In fact, on key issues, the U.N. has voted against the
United States nearly 85% of the time.”

Herbert W. Titus in Constitutional Analysis of the United Nations writes that since the
UN Charter is a Charter and not a treaty it has different constitutional requirements for
ratification. “As George Mason observed at the Constitutional Convention in 1787, 'Legislatures
have no power to ratify' a plan changing the form of government, only 'the people' have such
power.’” Therefore, the UN Charter needs to be accepted by the people of the U.S. Titus
concludes:
The Charter of the United Nations… is an illegitimate constitution, having
only been submitted to the Untied States Senate for ratification as a treaty. Thus,
the Charter of the United Nations, not being a treaty, cannot be made the supreme
law of our land by compliance with Article II, Section 2 of Constitution of the
United States of America. Therefore, the Charter of the United Nations is neither
politically nor legally binding upon the United States of America or upon its
people.
