EU report declares UN Migration Pact “legally binding after all”

Mar 22, 2019 12:00 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams

After multiple assurances that it was a voluntary agreement, the EU has declared that the “UN Migration Pact legally binding after all,” but through the back door — the way many such schemes are implemented. Loopholes are manipulated while the public is given a false sense of security. This particular back door may not even be legal, but the EU is trying to make appear to be.

As it it was not enough that the European public is being betrayed, the International Organization for Migration chief, Antonio Vitorino, demanded an end to ‘Negative Narratives’ on Mass Migration. That should raise alarm, but won’t.

The Pact — officially named the “Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration” — indicates that “No country can address the challenges and opportunities of this global phenomenon on its own.” This is a hint of the plan for the imposition of this pact upon sovereign nations. It is a declaration that sovereign states are unable to address issues pertaining to their own borders and migration on their own, and must rely on the globalist United Nations to help them. The UN, meanwhile, is so trustworthy that last week it gave Iran a seat on the “U.N. women’s rights committee which judges complaints alleging violations of women’s rights.”

Suspicions about the Migration Pact have not been “conspiracies” of the “alt-right,” as the establishment media claims. The Pact came this far as a result of  the willful blindness and utopian fantasies of the Left.

In Canada, in a similar case, the “alt-right” was blamed for raising the alarm against the “anti-Islamophobia” motion M-103, with the Leftist media insisting that it was not a legal document. As usual, the media was short-sighted, with few exceptions. M-103 ended up being incorporated into a massive $23,000,000 anti-discrimination plan called “Taking Action Against Systemic Racism and Religious Discrimination Which Includes Islamophobia.” Part of this “action” includes “monitoring citizens for compliance,” training law enforcement to investigate online and offline “hate speech,” and other such “action” that threatens democracy and free speech. “Action” also included payouts to groups including CAIR-CAN (renamed the National Council of Canadian Muslims) and IRFAN (a group stripped of funding by the previous Conservative Government for connections to jihad terror) for their input into the 23-million-dollar “action” plan.

The precise status of the UN Migration Pact is still being debated, but one thing is clear, aside from strenuous efforts to maximize its powers through the back door. The UN and Brussels are trying to force the Pact upon sovereign states, even those that rejected it, and maximize its impact. The European Commission’s Legal Service is holding to the view “that the UN compact should have legally binding consequences for every EU member state including those which withdrew from the agreement.”

Austrian EU Commissioner Johannes Hahn insists that “that “UN General Assembly resolutions are not legally binding and you can not declare parts of them binding.” At this point, every free nation should vehemently oppose the UN Migration Pact, which the EU and UN are trying to force upon their citizens, who are the ones who will pay a heavy price economically and in regard to their security.

“Surprise! EU Report Declares UN Migration Pact Legally Binding After All,” by Virginia Hale, Breitbart, March 21, 2019:

Internal documents reveal that Brussels plans to incorporate the controversial UN migration pact into the EU’s legal framework “through the back door”, Austria and Hungary have warned.

Earlier this week, Austrian Foreign Minister Karin Kneissl told Brussels the government was opposed to a report by the European Commission’s Legal Service declaring that the UN compact should have legally binding consequences for every EU member state including those which withdrew from the agreement. The compact describes mass migration as “inevitable, necessary and desirable”.

As an increasing number of countries, including a handful of EU member states, began to have doubts about the UN compact in the weeks and months leading up to its signing in December last year, figures including Germany’s Angela Merkel insisted to its opponents that the document was non-binding, while media outlets attacked any suggestion to the contrary as “far-right conspiracy theory”.

Given these repeated assurances from key European figures, Kneissl told local media she was “astonished” to discover the document showing the Commission had apparently reversed its previous stance that the pact was non-binding.

On Monday, the populist Freedom Party (FPÖ) minister handed a paper outlining the government’s position on the matter to Austrian EU Commissioner Johannes Hahn, which said the country rejected the Legal Service’s conclusions on the basis that “UN General Assembly resolutions are not legally binding and you can not declare parts of them binding”.

Dismissing the issue as a “storm in a teacup”, according to the Kronen Zeitung, Hahn said that the position of the European Commission remained that the so-called UN Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration is not legally binding.

The FPÖ’s leader in the European Parliament, Harald Vilimsky, said the developments regarding the EU paper had proven his party was right to push for Austria’s withdrawal from the agreement……

    Legally binding? NOTHING the UN postulates is Legally Binding. There is no “UN Constitution of the World” stating Law that can and must be enforced by the “World Government”. It is Satan’s dream.

      The United Nations has a voting block of the O.I.C., Organization of Islamic Cooperation/ Conference, which consists of 56 Islamic countries and the Palestinian Authority to vote against the United States and Israel. They target the United States and Israel and do not recognize the country or state of Israel. They can pass resolutions and spread propaganda to inflict economic disturbances, the spin off organizations promote mass migration which is their attempt to conquer and destroy western civilizations from within and by their hands…The have resolutions 1618 to criminalize speech about the doctrine of Islam and call facts hate speech. It is insidious. Hate speech against religion is only needed for 1 religion, an attempt to hide the doctrine of warfare and terror from the public while inflicting damage to economies, incite rioting and remove freedom of speech, lawful ownership of weapons, demand retribution and fight the sovereignty of establish nations. A place of peace and cooperation not so much.

    The EU is getting closer and closer to a Communist party dictating what all members must do on UN resolutions. Trump was right, we should pull out of that ridiculous group who achieves nothing but chaos and pro-muslim agendas.
    Europe will soon be taken over by Sharia Law, then we will see the first Muslim theocracy because of the Liberal policies that have flooded the continent.
    I have zero sympathy for them mainly due to the people’s support of so many immigration policies that are destroying the fabric of western civilization. They all need to do their homework on the Muslim game plan to rule the world. It is going better than planned and appeasement has never and will never work.
    Europe is in a state of disarray and will soon look like the middle east and will be where WWIII will start only this time the US will not come to their aid. They seem to simply ignore the threat that Islam imposes, so they refuse to build their own militaries sufficient to fend off threats.

    Bye bye, Europe.

      Large parts of Western Europe are becoming Islamized.

      Pew research Muslim percent population by country 2016

      8.8 France
      8.1 Sweden
      7.6 Belgium
      7.1 Netherlands
      6.9 Austria
      6.3 UK
      6.1 Switzerland
      6.1 Germany
      5.7 Norway
      5.4 Denmark

      The only question is which country is going to totally fall first and become an Islamic theocracy.

        My bet would be on Sweden as they just recently said they would give asylum to China’s muslim population, that will speed up the process over the next few years. All the other countries you listed will rebel, it will not be pretty.

    Migration is “inevitable, necessary and desirable”.
    Each one of these three assertions being promulgated ad nauseam by the corrupt UN is a brazen falsehood.
    They are part of the UN’s “Replacement Migration” policy, a globalist imposition on nations without consent.

      Mar 22, 2019 at 7:34 pm

      Facilitated by the US invasion of Iraq which destroyed the balance of power in the middle east. The resultant and predictable fiasco has led to mass migration to facilitate the Globalist one world play book. They could get into the middle east before. The fundamentalists and Islamists just killed them until everything went nuts, Thanks again George Bush and to think I believed Cheney had a brain.

      What the World doesn’t realize, if we play “What if…”, is that had Charles Martel, and praise the Lord the “UN” wasn’t around then, not defeated the moslem invaders at Tours in 732, we would have no Mozart, Hayden or Beethoven Symphonies, or any OTHER aspect of Western culture.

    Trudeau, a Liberal, signed this agreement. We have an election this October. The Conservative Party stated they would cancel it if elected. The Conservatives wish to retain our prior immigration policy that worked extremely well, and most Canadians agree. Canada is a country with borders, one of the best countries in the world, we cannot allow any one or thing to dictate who has a right to obtain residency or citizenship in Canada. I think this sentiment will soon be seen in most EU countries, except their individual governments will resist.

      Trudeau is a strong supporter of Islamic terrorists. He regularly prays and preaches at mosques and holds secret meetings like he did in Regina. Note that he screams his bullshit ” Islamophobia” or uses the word Islamophobic at every mention of Islam or of his support for illegal invaders. He threatened the woman in Quebec and all she did was demand he pay for his illegals. As for borders – Our borders are only respected by Canadians otherwise they don’t exist. His support of illegals and his wide open border policy makes the Canadian Passport nothing more than very expensive asswipe. It is critical that the Liberals be removed from politics in Canada. Should Trudeau win, this upcoming election could very well be the last one. He would likely ban future elections as being Islamophobic.

    So this was a fraud designed to steal land and benefits. Fraudsters lie.

    The very worrying thing is that the Foreign Office staff were extremely naive and believed the obvious lies. If they had been genuinely suspicious they would have asked many more questions.

  10. marty lopez says

    Mar 22, 2019 at 7:28 pm

    The EU declares, hmmn. I have a question. How is either the UN, or the EU to enforce this declaration? Last time I checked, neither had enough air lift to transport the three Belgian military bands, which seem to comprise the better part of their military effort.

    This happy, globalist bullschit only floats until someone flushes the toilet

      There are world courts at the Hague that the UN can use. The Security Council members used shame and their powerful militaries to enforce.

      The UN can hire boats to take people across the Mediterranean.

    • Tom says

      Mar 23, 2019 at 3:46 pm

      It will be enforced by the same left wig governments that eagerly signed the compact in the first place. Those governments will use thepolice and armed forces of their country against its own citizens who may disagree with allowing migrants in their millions to instantly become citizens and obtain access to the pensions and social services, into which those migrants have never contributed.

      THAT is how the UN will enforce it.

    The UN and the EU, who think are both shameless , dictatorial bodies who consider themselves Rulers of the world already together with the Muslim “Brotherhoods”. Governments of the Western Worlds did a “great ” jobs did many PM’s, and the MP of New Zealand has to watch out, in her dramatic outfit, she went along with
    the other bunch of traitors. Why didn’t she dress up like this for the 31.000 Christians who got murdered and the 50 Yazidi women who got decapitated? Because they were not worthy enough for her.
    But she has made her bed and will have to lay in it.

    Re: ” The compact describes mass migration as “inevitable, necessary and desirable”. Clearly, the globalist corporations (and, ultimately, that means ALL of them) and their bankster masters, are behind this.

  19. Sheik y'Booty says

    Who do these people think they are? When was the plebiscite taken to put the question to the people as to whether or not they wanted drastic demographic change in their countries? Which country has ever done this? Why is it accepted that a multicultural society is the only way forward? Clearly it is not, to anyone but a completely deluded fool.
    If people aren’t’ islamophobic by now, they haven’t been paying attention, and they need to put away their cat videos and selfies and think about what’s been happening under their noses.
