WTF?!?!

Why is the UN Charter not a treaty?

Treaty - it is a contract, an agreement, a pact between International Organizations and Countries and its States under International Law.It can be pertaining to trade and peace or some other agreement

Are you saying that the UN Charter IS NOT a contract, an agreement, a pact between International Organizations and Countries and its States under International Law, pertaining to trade and peace or some other agreement.

Do you have anything to support this opinion - or is it just something you have made up to try to justify to yourself the illegal, unprovoked invasion that has murdered hundreds of thousands of civilians?

The United Nations Charter is a treaty of the United States, and as such forms part of the "supreme law of the land" under the Constitution, Article VI, Clause 2.

The United Nations Charter (1945) is both a multilateral treaty and the constituent instrument of the United Nations.http://www.britannica.com/eb/topic-6...United-Nations

The United Nations Charter is the treaty that forms and establishes the international organization called the United Nations[1]. It was signed at the United Nations Conference on International Organization in San Francisco, California, United States, in 1945, by 50 of the 51 original member countries

The U.N. Charter is a treaty. It is part of a larger body of international law. The United States, as a United Nations member, is bound by its terms.
Article 2 (4) of the Charter says nations: “Shall refrain in their international relations from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state.”

Do you have anything to support your opinion?
