We need to reduce American militarism. We need our government to follow our Constitution and International Laws when it comes to Foreign Policy.

1. As one of the initiators and primary authors of the United Nations Charter, the United States is obligated to conform to the stipulations of the U.S. Constitution, which identifies all such agreements as treaties that hold the authority of U.S. law. The U.S. government is pledged to abide by its principles and guidelines in the conduct of foreign relations and affairs.

2. We must recognize our government's obligation to take disputes with other nations or foreign bodies to the U.N. Security Council and General Assembly forum for negotiation and resolution.

3. The U.S. must recognize the sovereignty of nation-states and their right of self-determination.

4. It is important torecognize and support the right of the U.N. to intervene in a nation-state engaged in genocidal acts or in its persistent violation and denial of the human rights.

5. The U.S. is obligated to render military assistance or service under U.N. command to enforce U.N. Security Council resolutions.

6. The U.S. must recognize and abide by the authority of the U.N. General Assembly to act in a crisis situation by passing a resolution under the Uniting for Peace Procedure when the U.N. Security Council is stalemated by vetoes.

7. The veto power enjoyed by the five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council needs to be seriously reconsidered as it has been constantly abused against overwhelming decisions by the General Assembly.

8. We must urge our government to sign the International Criminal Court agreement and respect the authority of that institution.
