If I were truely a citizen of the world, I should be able to carry a passport that lets me travel to any country I choose to go to. Yet I don't, instead I have a US passport that can get me to many places, and many more when used with a visa, but there are still places I cannot go, like Cuba. And honsetly, if I ever did find out I was legally a citizen of the UN, I would renounce that citizenship immeaditly. As for the laws of the UN do not apply to me because I am a citizen of the United States, and the US Constitution clearly states that it is the supreme law of the land and supercedes
all treaties with foreign bodies. The UN is a foreign body. Now in cases where there is no conflict between US and UN law, this goes unnoticed but it is still the US law that applies to me. In cases where US and UN law are in disagreement, the US law overrides the UN law.

The U.N. does have governance over those involved in the U.N.

Tell that to the people of Bingham, NM who have passed a law declaring their town a UN-free zone. Besides if they truely do have governance, then I will make this point. Kofi Annan has declared the US to be a rouge state and that our involvement in Iraq is illegal, but what has the UN done in response if that is the case? The answer: Nothing. The UN knows it has no power over the US, otherwise they would have sanctions on us by now. Instead all they can do is say, "Please listen to us. And if you don't, we'll ask again."
