UN Arms Treaty Dead
The Washington Times ^ | July 27, 2012 | James S. Robbins

Posted on 07/27/2012 6:05:39 PM PDT by Neil E. Wright

Talks over the UN Arms Trade Treaty fell apart today, effectively killing the agreement. The Arms Trade Treaty Legal Blog reports that the process seemed to be moving to completion when the United States requested an extension to the time to negotiate the agreement. This opened the door to other countries to begin registering objections, and it soon became clear that reaching agreement within the allowed timeframe would be impossible. The proposed treaty, which raised considerable domestic opposition from gun rights advocates in the United States, died before it had a chance to become a threat. As a delegate from China observed, "C'est la vie et la vie c'est ça."

No use for the Euros to fight over a new UN headquarters, they [the UN] already have four: (1) NYC [current one]; (2) Geneva, Switzerland; (3) Brussels, Belgium; and (4) Nairobi, Kenya.

Condemn the NYC HQ and give the UN six months to move out. Four weeks after the drop dead date to move out, the NYC HQ gets imploded. NYC is free to build anything on the rubble.

The U.S. does not relocate to the new UN HQ and it shuts off all funding. The UN dies of its own corruption and greed.

That was too easy.

I can't help but think that what they want is for us to go to sleep so that they can ram something through.

Doesn’t matter if the Vote died, Obama will gladly sign anyway.

Or like obamacare if you recall how that was on again, off again.

Never take anything for granted....”lame duck” sessions can do strange things.

And yes, I know about the head count against LOST stands at a precarious 35 votes. It takes two senators to go wobbly and we’re in deep doo-doo. Make every senator take a stand BEFORE the lame duck session.

I agree, the headline is mis-leading. Particularly since it says in the body of the article that it is only in "indefinite hiatus."

Carry_Okie: I agree, they have a plan B somewhere up their sleeves. Eternal vigilance!

They have postponed it so Obama can sign it after the election.
