A UN treaty is only as good as the sum of the ability of members to enforce the treaty. The UN has no track record of independently enforcing any treaty they have ever made. Who would enforce a violation made by the US?
Another point, at risk of being told I am "flipping the script", but the question begs to be asked here.
Some here have called for giving arms to Libyan rebels, so on one hand guns are bad, on the other guns are needed for a worthy cause - who do you put in charge of when it is o.k. and when it is not for people to have guns?
Hell, Libya is even in the UN Human Right Council - how on earth do you think a person like me would give up my rights to such a comical organization? It won't happen. Any US politician who seriously entertains such an idea will be voted out of office.
