In its ongoing infatuation with international law and treaties that surrender U.S. sovereignty, the Obama White House is working to secure a seat on the United National Human Rights Council. The Council, an inter-governmental UN body charged with promoting and protecting human rights around the globe, has no authority to issue binding legal judgments and can only offer advisory opinions on perceived violations. In an effort to secure this seat, the Obama administration has submitted a series of "Commitments and Pledges" declaring its loyalty and "deep commitment" to the United Nations.
