During World Court hearings earlier this week, the UN International Court of Justice (ICJ) weighed in on whether an alleged “human right” to labor strikes exists under the International Labour Organization’s (ILO) Convention No. 87. As reported by UN News, the ICJ advisory proceedings were requested by the ILO in 2023. The case argues against employers in interpreting the 1948 ILO treaty that allegedly guarantees freedom of association but does not explicitly include strikes.
International Trade Union Confederation (ITU) representative Paapa Danquah argued that strikes are a “vital tool” for workers, telling the court, “Strike action has been our vital tool … to improve labour conditions and to defend our human dignities.”
However, Roberto Suárez Santos, a representative of the International Organisation of Employers (IOE), argued that Convention No. 87 does not include the right to strike, saying it would impose a “prescriptive regime” and disrupt national labor systems.
These ongoing World Court proceedings exemplify how, in dangerous overreach, the UN fabricates “rights” in order to erode national sovereignty. The ICJ, an arm of the UN, has no legitimate authority to dictate labor policy to sovereign nations. While these advisory opinions are not enforceable, they serve as tools for globalists to pressure and coerce compliance to advance their one-world-government agenda that undermines America’s founding principles.
The U.S. Constitution vests authority in “We the People of the United States,” not foreign bureaucrats. Article VI declares the Constitution is “the supreme Law of the Land” — no treaty or international ruling can override it. Americans must protect our sovereign Republic and withdraw from the UN, exit entangling treaties, and defund the organization.
