U.S. approves UN use of force to protect civilians in conflict

UNITED NATIONS — The United States has announced its support for a set of principles that give a green light for U.N. peacekeeping troops and police to use force to protect civilians in armed conflicts.

U.S. Ambassador Samantha Power told a high-level U.N. meeting Wednesday focusing on the responsibility to protect civilians that the United States was "proud" and "humbled" to join 28 other countries that have pledged to abide by the 18 pledges.

U.N. peacekeepers from these 29 countries are now required to act in cases where civilians are in danger.

"The Kigali Principles are designed to make sure that civilians are not abandoned by the international community again," she said, recalling how U.N. peacekeepers left Rwanda before the 1994 genocide and Srebrenica before the 1995 massacre.

This is so unconstitutional it's sick. It has nothing to do with the Constitution of the United States and our rights as our citizens

Here we go! Global governance and the last piece of the puzzle for there martial law wet dream. The other 17 nations have disarmed civilians. There is no coincidence armored UN "Peace keeping" vehicles were spotted being transported all over the country.

Occupying force on American soil coming before November. The Kigali principles pretty much justify there use of deadly force without judge or jury, or constitutional rights. All 28 countries have civilians that are disarmed. Lock and load

Allowing foreign forces that are are armed to follow NATO laws and Not American. Able to attack American citizens under the pretense of protecting American citizens. And deeper so these forces can attack small town police as well. When they defend weapons rights against the NATO treaty Obama signed and said would be completed by end of 2016. Mike may have written a check his arse can't cash! But I'm betting he will roll over and accept a UN armored vehicle as thanks for his cooperation.

Never in America's history has any foreign force or troops occupied or have been on American soil and we do not need them now! We are not involved in organised armed conflict and do not have scores of people dying daily nor weekly to warrant such aggression against American sovereign soil! We do not need the UN here for a few radicals, that is why we have state, county and city police forces for, to protect citizens from unhinged people intent on doing people harm. The situation here is far from Rwanda, Somalia and Srebrenica! We are far from that. We do not have armed organized groups running around killing people in order to gain control of defined areas! We can and we will police ourselves and have done so for over 240 years with the exception of the civil war and we survived that and formed "a more perfect (and stronger) union". Wake up people and oust the old gaurd with your votes, let them know they work for us and if not we can and will fire you at the ballot box or sooner!

Sounds like a part of the plan to change America. They are succeeding. Where do we go now that America is no longer free?

Since a lot of American military troops and civilian officers will not follow the order to disarm American citizens this new ruling makes a lot of sense, use the scum of the earth from other nations to do it. After all this will be "protecting civilians" in NWO double speak.

I think you are correct

We don't go anywhere, we oust the political leaders that are not willing to follow what the majority of Americans want at the ballot box or by recall petition. This is your country so don't let them rule you, you and those like you need to let them know who they work for...the American citizen and what the majority wants! Most of our politicians today remind me of the Politburo of the Soviet union in the 60's and 70's...eletitist and untouchable!
