Don’t Let the Language Fool You: Here’s Why Conservatives Are Still Voicing Opposition to a UN Treaty for the ‘Rights of Persons with Disabilities’

Dec. 3, 2012 11:29am Liz Klimas

Who wouldn’t support a treaty with the language in its title that says it is for “Rights of Persons with Disabilities”? Turns out many Republicans oppose the U.N.’s Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) and their reasons are worth taking a look at again, even if the arguments are not necessarily new.

The Senate discussed the U.N.’s CRPD, which was completed in 2006, last week. Republicans held to their objection for taking up an international treaty during a lame-duck session of Congress, but debate for it will be on the floor Tuesday.

As Betsy Woodruff for National Review put it, just because some voted against the treaty “[doesn't] necessarily [mean they] hate disabled people.” In fact, they might be seeking out their best interest.

Republican Senators Continue Opposition Against U.N.s Convention on the Rights of Persons With Disabilities

Rick Santorum (R-PA) (L) speaks abou his opposition to the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities during a news conference with his wife Karen Santorum as she holds their daughter, Isabella, at the Dirksen Senate Office Building on Capitol Hill November 26. (Photo: Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images)

As former senator and 2012 candidate for the Republican presidential nomination Rick Santorum wrote in a contributors post for TheBlaze earlier this year, on the surface the treaty might appear in the best interest of those with disabilities, but there are provisions that he wrote “should concern all Americans.” He continued to voice his concern over the treaty, calling into the Glenn Beck Radio Program Monday morning. On the show, he called some other senator’s reasoning for support of the treaty a “big joke.”

Some supporters have said that since the treaty was modeled after the 1990 Americans with Disabilities Act, it would require no changes in U.S. law. As Steve Benen on Rachel Maddow’s Blog interpreted it: ”we don’t actually have to do anything except say we like the treaty — and then wait for other signatories around the world to catch up to the United States’ laws.”

Not so according to opponents like Santorum, who has a special-needs child himself. Many Republicans have voiced concern over provisions like that the U.S. would need to answer to a U.N. committee to show that it was in compliance. On Beck’s show Santorum noted that supporters have countered this concern saying they would ignore this part.

“If we are going to ignore it, why pass it,” Santorum said.

Listen to Santorum on Beck’s show this morning:

Here are more details concerning Republicans that Santorum wanted to bring to light in his July post:

If ratified, CRPD would become the law of the land under the U.S. Constitution’s Supremacy Clause, and would trump state laws, and could be used as precedent by state and federal judges. Since it is a treaty, the Constitution requires that it must be ratified by two-thirds of the United States Senate.

There are two very troubling provisions in this treaty. The first spreads the identical standard for the control of children with disabilities as is contained in the U.N. Convention on the Rights of the Child. This means that the Federal government, acting under U.N. directions, can determine for all children with disabilities what is best for them. The second, the education provision of CRPD does not support the parental rights rules of past U.N. human rights treaties. Omission of these rules would potentially eradicate parental rights for the education of children with disabilities.

[...]

What’s so problematic here is that the provisions of this treaty could open the door for a professional or government official to override the decision that we as parents need to make for our special-needs children.

Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., argued that support for the treaty would take the the “gold standard” of the Americans with Disabilities Act “to countries that have never heard of disability rights.” He said that it would benefit disabled American veterans who want to travel or work abroad. Woodruff in National Review though reported Steven Groves of the Heritage Foundation calling this premise “completely unsupportable.”

“The notion that it might improve travel conditions for Americans traveling abroad is a complete non sequitur, and it has nothing to do with the treaty at all,” Groves said, according to Woodruff.

On Beck’s show, Santorum encouraged those citizens wanting to voice opposition to call their senators. A call by TheBlaze made to the Capital’s switchboard revealed a busy signal Monday morning. Could this have been due to callers overwhelming line in calls to senators regarding the treaty?

Here’s another clip from Beck’s morning program discussing the treaty:

The Senate will continue the debate Tuesday, Dec. 2. In September, 36 Republican senators opposed taking action on international treaties during the post-election session. We’ll have to see if it holds.

  It truly is time for the US to get the UN out of our country and affairs. It is also time for conservatives to elect people that are concerned about the state of our nation and not what other countries think of us. America has always been unique as a nation and now, under the direction of the UN and other like-minded entities, we have those who would make the US into “just another nation” like any other. This kind of thinking includes our very own president, in his own words. I don’t think that’s what the forefathers had in mind when they fought and died to make our country the great nation it has been and still can be with the right leadership.

Why must the US capitulate to the UN about anything at all? That is nothing but a body of worthless good for nothing socialist idiots who hates America. The US should pull out from that body and expel it from our country. We should just maintain relations with the few friends that we have and say the hell with the countries that hates us. No more help, financial or otherwise, to those who pretends to be our friends but really are mortal enemies seeking our destruction. We’ll be a lot better off.

This is a horror story.

Look at the evil, EVIL sneery smiles on ALL THREE of their faces. IT’S SO SICK!!!

THIS IS A HUGE RED FLAG AND YOU SHOULD KNOW WHEN YOU SEE THIS EVIL, EVIL SMILE, IT’S THEM AND THEY ARE HAPPY ABOUT SOMETHING HORRIFIC, and they love shoving it all down our throats with the gloating.

Remember Shrillary, after watching videos of Ghaddafi being sodomized and murdered, giggled and said, “We came, we saw, he died.” I saw pictures, and it was horrifying, regardless of the victim’s identity.

They are obsessed with “checking the results,” and watching their evil deeds unfold in real time, as in Benghazi.

My theory is that, rather than just resorting directly to lethal injections, they actually prolong things by dehydration and starvation. I mean, they are killing people, but they don’t have the yarbles to actually do the act with intention.

Negligence by design.

Some believe they are somehow getting some kind of “charge” through the suffering of others and, looking at this photo, among so many others, it makes you wonder if there isn’t something to that.

Demonic.

Animals!

Keep the UN as far away from anything done in this country as possible. If the photo above of grinning Valerie Jarrett and Susie Rice isn’t enough to convince someone that this is probably not a good idea nothing will. John Kerry’s endorsement only seals the deal.

The UN has no power or authority over anyone for any reason. They are an extragovernmental organization, and should be ignored at any opportunity. Well, no, they should be watched, very closely, and defunded by the US, and not participated in or with, and resisted at every level and layer.

Gee, wonder if this will cover the babies being denied food and hydration unto death in the UK? Nope, this is just another of the UN’s underhanded attempt to usurp the control and sovereignty of countries and parents. Need to clarify and distill what we want out of the next candidate that runs to oppose the Democrats. Out of the UN should be one of the first. Cutting off all aid to those that hate us is next. Then get our own house in fiscal order. Clean the slate of agencies and regulations that do not have Congressional oversight. Require of Congress to live under every and all laws passed, no exemptions, no extensions, no grandfathering. That would mean giving up their pensions in the form in which they now exist. They would get a percentage of their pensions based on time served, what a novel concept. Seems like a no brainer.

  It is very easy to call. I was nervous, but all they wanted was my position (strongly opposed) and my zip code. Don’t be intimidated. I am learning that a great deal of the time the constituents know as much if not more about the proposed legislation that most of the Senators. They vote on WAY too many items each year to have possibly read through all of them. You CAN do it!

UN treaties are the equivalent of self flagellation. Nobody else has any intention of following them. They know the US are the only ones that will be held to the treaty and the only ones that will actually attempt to abide by them, so every one of them is designed specifically to hamstring the US.

Another hidden danger…Once this has passed, what qualifies as a “disability” will be redefined to bring more of our children under the treaty. ADHD? Need glasses? Peanut allergy? You now have a disability. These treaties arent only about eliminating the sick,they are also about contolling the healthy.

“I urge you to oppose the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. This treaty surrenders U.S. sovereignty to unelected UN bureaucrats and will threaten parental care of children with disabilities. Our nation already has laws to protect disabled Americans. This treaty is unnecessary and will hurt families. If the Senate ratifies this treaty, it would be the first time ever that the U.S. has ratified a treaty that obligates us to recognize economic, social, and cultural entitlements as rights under domestic law.”

Michael P. Farris, Esq., LL.M.

We have just received word that the U.S. Senate will hold a straight up-or-down vote on Tuesday, December 4, on whether or not the United States should ratify the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD). If two-thirds of the senators present vote yes, the United States will ratify this UN treaty.

HSLDA has never opposed the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). HSLDA has never opposed the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). But we oppose the CRPD for the simple principle that Americans should make the law for America. It is wrong for the United States to ratify a United Nations treaty that will give up our sovereignty to unelected, unaccountable UN bureaucrats.

  We have been told that the pro-CRPD side is waging one of the most aggressive, organized lobbying campaigns ever. The U.S. State Department and Obama administration officials are pressuring individual senators to support the CRPD. It is crucial that senators on our side hear from you, your friends, your family, and from anyone who opposes giving the UN power over our nation, and over our precious children and family members who have disabilities.
  
  Please call your two U.S. senators today, tomorrow, Monday, and Tuesday. You can reach them through the Capitol Switchboard at 202-224-3121
  
  Senators Lee (UT), Toomey (PA), Paul (KY), and DeMint (SC) are leading the charge to stop the CRPD, so it is not necessary to call them. We are confident that the other 32 Republican senators who opposed moving to debate on the CRPD on Monday will also vote against the treaty, but we believe that you should call them anyway to encourage them in the face of strong opposition.

Here, you can see the legal testimony against it…. Sen. John Kerry is really pushing for this treaty to be passed.

From the HSLDA (Home Schooling Legal Defense Association) website:

“HSLDA has never opposed the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). HSLDA has never opposed the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). But we oppose the CRPD for the simple principle that Americans should make the law for America. It is wrong for the United States to ratify a United Nations treaty that will give up our sovereignty to unelected, unaccountable UN bureaucrats.”

Please call your senators and voice your opposition and please spread the word to your family and friends and ask them to do the same.

I’m not one of the Doomsayers who think this will lead to Nazism all over the world like I’m sure some commenters will say here. However, I am against taking the sovereignty of the US and giving it to the UN. If, as is said in the article, this is no different than our own 1990 Americans with Disabilities Act, then why should we sign onto the same thing under the control of a foreign governing body?

Agenda 21. In other words, the U.N. will determine if your special needs child lives or dies. Liberals will whine and cry that Republicans hate people with disabilities and the clueless followers (sheeple) will believe every word without understanding what the treaty entails. Okay let the treaty apply to everyone but the U.S. We already have provisions and a disability act. Let all the other countries come under U.N. control.

Mission creep. The mission of the Progressives is to put us under the control of the Borg aka U.N. If anything the topics of Star Trek – the Next Generation should have been a wake up call to us, but we viewed it as science fiction and did not equate the message to what was beginning to happen. We need to start paying attention to TV shows and the underlying themes.

  If this is effectively the same as the 1990 Americans with Disabilities Act (as the article says), by your own reasoning the government already has full decision-making power over whether disabled children live or die.
  
  This is obviously not the case, and thus your post seens quite unreasonable.

I sent an email to senator Collins and received a form letter in return that said she was for it but not to worry, U.S. law would be followed. I replied and asked “if U.S. law would be followed why sign the international treaty? if new law needs to be made here, do your job and start the process”– paraphrasing. she replied with the same form letter. I’m talking to her computer it seems. I also reminded her that international treaties trump U.S. law and she should know that. doesn’t do any good because she’s not looking at these emails.

  That’s incorrect. Treaties do not trump the Constitution. Read the Constitution in regard to treaties. Nowhere does it state that a treaty (nor international law) trump the Constitution.

  My fear is Obama will crush our economy and the Dollar will no longer be the Global Standard Currency thus creating chaos and anarchy worldwide where the UN will step in, Obama will hand over our sovereignty and then our wealth and resources will be redistributed to less fortunate or green energy countries under the UN Dollar. Want proof? Look at his actions, running up the tab using Air Force One, extravagant worldly vacations, $34 a gallon for bio fuel in our heavy Naval Ships! $$$$$$$$ till we pop!

This opens the door for a world wide eugenics program as happened in Nazi Germany, contact your congress members, or be held accountable for your own silence before God.

  But here you dont even have to be disabled to be killed. Millions of babies are killed just so the mother doesnt have to contend with her actions. Rape and incest aside (Im struggling with that). And we wonder what is going on with our country.

  @SnowLeopard; The psychiatrists just removed Aspbergers from the DSM. You are right on track. It appears that if Obama can’t make the numbers work for his Obamacare, then he/they will make the Populus demographic fit the numbers they put forward. Eugenics is certainly the order of the day here!! @Tachy320; Sorry you have to deal with that. No one should have to!!! This gets down to something I posted last week. Some of the population have confused their Wants with their Needs! When I posted that someone said that how could I decided what they needed? Well it’s simple; We Need Water, Shelter, Etc. We can live without Sex, especially Rape, and Incest!!! This is what’s wrong with Progressives. They tend to Promote Promiscuity. Moussolini found compromise with the Catholic Church in this respect. He did so to promise a Fascist Population in the Future. Remain Strong, and if you aren’t there yet seek help. We got your back :)
