Article II

• To strengthen respect for the rule of law in international as in national affairs
and, in particular, to ensure compliance by Member States with the decisions
of the International Court of Justice, in compliance with the Charter of the
United Nations, in cases to which they are parties.
• To make the United Nations more effective in maintaining peace and security
by giving it the resources and tools it needs for conflict prevention, peaceful
resolution of disputes, peacekeeping, post-conflict peace-building and
reconstruction. In this context, we take note of the report of the Panel on
United Nations Peace Operations and request the General Assembly to
consider its recommendations expeditiously.
• To strengthen cooperation between the United Nations and regional
organizations, in accordance with the provisions of Chapter VIII of the
Charter.

arms control and disarmament and of international humanitarian law and
human rights law, and call upon all States to consider signing and ratifying the
Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court. Source Original Source

Article IV

• To make every effort to ensure the entry into force of the Kyoto Protocol,
preferably by the tenth anniversary of the United Nations Conference on
Environment and Development in 2002, and to embark on the required
reduction in emissions of greenhouse gases.

(The United States (U.S.), although a signatory to the Kyoto Protocol, has neither ratified nor withdrawn from the Protocol. The signature alone is symbolic, as the Kyoto Protocol is non-binding on the United States unless ratified.)

Do you realize that the United States, as of 2006, carries 22% of the funding for the United Nations? And they want more monies to exercise these programs!
