Proponents of such convention even
found escapees from communist regimes and are using them to make public
statements that such a convention would prevent communism from taking hold in
this country, a ludicrous idea.
Aside from the fact that communism has
already taken hold in the U.S. and grown exponentially, people fail to mention
the real possibility of a runaway convention where the Constitution would be
replaced with one already written and at the ready, waiting to be adopted and deployed.
One such constitution is the Draft
International Covenant on Environment, initially named the Draft Covenant
on Environment and Development (D.I.C.E.D.) which prompted me to write in my
book, U.N. Agenda 21: Environmental Piracy, that it is the environmental
constitution of global governance, and that our rights will be diced in every
way imaginable if this global constitution will ever be adopted. It has already
been issued in five editions, in 1994, 2000, 2004, 2010, and 2015. The fifth version
has 83 articles and 238 pages.
All signatory nations, including the
U.S., would become centrally planned, socialist countries in which all decisions
would be made within the framework of Sustainable Development, the lynchpin of
U.N. Agenda 2030.
“The Draft
International Covenant on Environment is an ongoing
contribution of the International Council of Environmental Law (ICEL) and the
IUCN Environmental Law Programme (IUCN ELP) to provide a framework for
implementing sustainability at all levels of society following the outcome of
the Rio+20 Conference, and subsequent adoption of the United Nation’s 2030
Agenda for Sustainable Development and its Sustainable Development Goals
(SDGs). The Draft International Covenant is a blueprint for an international
framework (or umbrella) agreement consolidating and developing existing legal
principles related to environment and development. Over the 20 years since the
first edition was prepared by leading experts from all regions of the globe,
the 5th Edition continues the tradition as a ‘living document’
having undergone four revisions to ensure that it is up to date with the newest
developments in the field of public international law.”
This document is presented with the stated
goal …”to implement the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. We
recognize the spirit of cooperation that has characterized negotiations of the
Sustainable Development Goals and provide the updated Covenant as a framework
for implementing sustainability at all levels of society.”
Along with many U.S. professors of
law, biology, natural resources, urban planning, theology, environmental ethics,
two attorneys, a judge, foreign dignitaries, ambassadors, 13 members of the U.N.
Secretariat, who contributed to the development and writing of this document,
Dinah Shelton, Aaron Laur, and the Elisabeth Haub Foundation for Environmental
Law are thanked for their contributions and publication of this Draft Covenant
by Dr. Wolfgang E. Burhenne, former Chairman and now Executive Governor
(2006-present) of the International Council of Environmental Law. www.iucn.org/work/programmes/environmental.law
The covenant (D.I.C.E.D.) also contains
the related “gateway to environmental law,” ECOLEX. Draft

sustainability - resource | IUCN
“ECOLEX is a web-based information service that
synergizes information on environmental law collected by the three partner
organizations, 185,235 laws and regulations, 2,182 treaties, and 2,592
court decisions.”
ECOLEX “covers
the entire spectrum of environmental and natural resources conservation,
including fresh and marine water, air and atmosphere, soil and land use,
species and ecosystems, fisheries and forestry, hazardous substances and waste,
as well as food and agriculture.”

The large and complex Covenant document includes articles that deal with every
aspect of economic activity. Some notable articles are:
-
Integrated planning system, not considering
administrative boundaries within a country, and is based on Paragraph 10.5 of
U.N. Agenda 21, which seeks to “facilitate allocation of land to the uses that
provide the greatest sustainable benefits and to promote the transition to a
sustainable and integrated management of land resources.” The impact assessment
procedure is developed by the World Bank.
“Aquifers, drainage basins, coastal,
marine areas, and any areas called ecological units must be taken into account
when allocating land for municipal, agricultural, grazing, forestry, and other
uses.”
-
Agricultural subsidies are discouraged, as well as
subsidizing private enterprises.
-
Respect for all life forms.
-
Entire globe should be under “the protection of
international law.”
-
Equity and justice are paramount, code words for
socialism/communism.
-
All member nations must adopt environmental
conservation into all national decisions.
-
Stratospheric Ozone: Rex communis is the customary
international law regime applicable to areas beyond national jurisdiction, to
the high seas and outer space.
-
All nations must mitigate the adverse effects of
climate change. Signatories who ratify this document will have to fight a
non-existent man-made climate change.
-
Eradication of poverty must be achieved through the
spreading of wealth from developed countries to developing countries whose
bureaucrats are running the United Nations.
-
Consumption and production patterns must be controlled.
-
Recycling is mandatory.
-
Demographic policies: countries must calculate “the
size of the human population their environment is capable of supporting and to
implement measures that prevent the population from exceeding that level.” In a
Malthusian view, this document implies that the out-of-control multiplication
of humans can endanger the environment.
-
Open and non-discriminatory international trading
system in which pricing is not based on the capitalist supply and demand but
reflect the full direct and indirect social and environmental costs (ESG) of
their extraction, production, transport, marketing, and where appropriate,
ultimate disposal.” (Perhaps they should have serious talks with the solar and
wind energy proponents.)
-
Trans-boundary environmental effects - transboundary
natural resources will be conserved quantitatively and qualitatively. Conserve
means managing human-induced processes and activities which may be damaging to
natural systems.
-
Physical planning must follow “an integrated approach
to land use – infrastructure, highways, railways, waterways, dams, and harbors.
Town and country planning must include land use plans elaborated at all levels
of government.”
-
Sharing benefits of Biotechnology is a similar
requirement to the Law of the Sea Treaty which demands that final products of
research and development be used freely, no matter who develops an idea or how
much it costs to bring that idea to the market.
-
Signatory nations must pay for these requirements and a
specific percentage of GDP for Official Development Assistance.
-
Settlement of disputes must be done by the Permanent
Court of Arbitration, the International Court of Justice, and the International
Tribunal for the Law of the Sea. They will supersede any other courts,
including those in the U.S.
The existence of a constitution for global governance puts in proper
perspective the danger that existing Constitutions of sovereign states face under
the aggressive Great Reset of U.N. Agenda 2030.
The highly coordinated national effort in the U.S. to call a
constitutional convention under Article V of the U.S. Constitution, for the
first time in history, is very close to victory, six states short of the
required 34-states. The result of such a convention of states would be “a
complete overhaul of the U.S. Constitution.” Which constitution will replace it
if that happens?
