Someone I know within the anti-EU campaign has been studying the Vienna Convention on Treaties in relation to the convoluted and extremely confusing document, which is the Lisbon Treaty, and has written to the UN leader about it.In a two page letter to Ban Ki-Moon one section of the letter pointed out: “Having looked at the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties, I took particular note of Article 31, and in particular section 1, General rule of interpretation, Article32, Supplementary means of interpretation, Article 40 Amending Treaties, Article 49, Fraud and others up to Article 62. These articles are in this Treaty for a purpose. Long lasting Treaties should be honestly written and clear so that all involved can understand the true meaning of them for these are meant to be long lasting and binding, therefore great trouble should be taken in the drawing up of the Treaties-the previous now abandoned EU Constitution took longer than two years. All should understand fully in complete truthfulness and in complete understanding so that in the ratification and the people that they apply to can understand them fully.”
Many people in this country see the abandonment of our sovereignty and the handing over of governance to the EU to be illegal as it is treason – which there can be no denial. The trouble is trying to get any authority to take this seriously as those who hold the power to do so are the ones committing the crime of treason – it’s like asking a thieving policeman to arrest himself.
However, if you read the above section of the Vienna Convention and apply it to the Lisbon Treaty which was deliberately drawn up so that no one can understand it, the EU has actually committed a crime under international law as laid down by the UN.
It seems that Ban Ki-Moon nor anyone else from the UN bothered to responded to my friend, the letter writer, but what if Bank Ki-Moon found a sudden flood of letters quoting the above passage? would the UN be obliged to take the EU to task over the confusing wording of the Lisbon Treaty?
Just in case you are inspired to do a bit of letter writing, here is his address: His Excellency Ban Ki-Moon, Secretary General, United Nations, New York, USA.

I sent a similar letter to the UN, when Ireland held the EU Presidency and were pushing Lisbon treaty when it was known as the EU Constitution
It should be noted that:... Portugal, France, Ireland, Luxembourg, Malta, Romania are not signatories to Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties.
Which begs the question of multilateral treaty negotiated between states, some of whom are signatories to the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties and those which are not.
Article 53 Treaties conflicting with a peremptory norm of general international law (jus cogens)
A treaty is void if, at the time of its conclusion, it conflicts with a peremptory norm of general international law. For the purposes of the present Convention, a peremptory norm of general international law is a norm accepted and recognized by the international community of States as a whole as a norm from which no derogation is permitted and which can be modified only by a subsequent norm of general international law having the same character.
EU treaties conflict with a peremptory norm of general international law.
Wouldn't it be good if the UKIP hierarchy were to launch a campaign and composed a letter on behalf of we common souls.
I'm afraid, however, that the UN are in on the whole charade. Democracy doesn't apply to 'little people'.
It's worth trying though. It would certainly be of entertainment value if the BEEB had to report any outcome.
Oh no. Flyin pigs territory again. Damn!
