UN Takes Step to World Government

Secretary General Kofi Annan is preparing for global governance at the UN Millennium Summit next year. Global government is a euphemism for world government.

"This is the age of the United Nations," proclaimed United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan, speaking before the General Assembly in July 1997. Annan was announcing his expansive and far-reaching "reforms" designed to "transform" the UN from top to bottom.

The UN restructuring plans are based upon the recommendations from the UN funded Commission on Global Governance. The Com-mission’s 1995 report, entitled Our Global Neighborhood, lays out a convoluted plan based upon deception to empower the UN to administer what the Commission terms "global governance."

The United Nations General Assembly moved closer to the goals of the Commission on Global Governance in December, 1998 when it accepted "without a vote" resolution A/RES/53/202 to designate the 55th Session of the General Assembly in 2000 as the "Millennium Assembly." Included within the resolution was a plan to convene a "Millennium Summit" of Heads of State that would define the role of "the United Nations in the twenty-first century." The Millennium Assembly and Summit concept was a key recommendation of the Commission on Global Governance during which a new UN Charter would be signed. The Commission on Global Governance adamantly denies the reforms will lead to world government. Instead the Commission refers to it as "global governance," where sovereignty is "exercised collectively" in a world essentially without borders. Such doublespeak hides the fact that if fully implemented, these proposals would turn the UN into a world government with no checks and balances, no accountability to the citizens of earth.

"I consider the Millennium Assembly to be of utmost importance," explained Kofi Annan, Secretary General of the United Nations. "As we enter the new century and the new millennium, we must do for the Organization what has not been done since its founding conference in San Francisco. We must articulate clearly a compelling epochal vision for the United Nations." In the process, Annan concluded, "the nations of the world will become ever more united." The UN Charter was signed in San Francisco in 1945. It has not been changed since.

Of particular importance to Annan during the Millennium Forum is the elimination of the "juridically-based fragmentation [i.e. legal fragmentation] that exists within the United Nations." Such fragmentation hinders the UN’s effectiveness to make and implement international policy. Annan has recom-mended a "Special Commission" to review and propose changes to the UN Charter that would permit the UN to more effectively administer and enforce international agreements.

The resolution is key to implementing Annan’s efforts to bring about globalization. In his 1998 Annual Report Annan asserts, "only universal organizations like the United Nations have the scope and legitimacy to generate the principles, norms and rules that are essential if globalization is to benefit everyone."

Deception and delusion is at the heart of UN reform. The Bible warns us that in the latter days, deception and delusion will be used to form a world government and religion. This provides the Church a tremendous opportunity to bring the truth to an increasingly troubled world—but it must be prepared. Preparation starts with knowledge. Lack of Biblical knowledge results in destruction, "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge." (Hosea 4:6 KJV) The Church must wake up "these proposals would turn the UN into a world government with no checks and balancesif it ever hopes to be "the light of the world." (Matthew 5:15 KJV) V ms
