Does the UN own US National Parks?

What do the Statue of Liberty, Independence Hall, and Monticello have in common? The average American with a smattering of historical knowledge might say that those historic sites are all symbolic of America’s unique heritage of freedom.
Monticello, of course, was the home of Thomas Jefferson, the author of the Declaration of Independence. That document (as well as the U.S. Constitution, later) was signed in Independence Hall. The Statue of Liberty memorializes the free nation under God that those founding documents created.
What about the Great Smoky Mountains, Yellowstone Park, and the Grand Canyon? Well, these priceless natural resources are all managed by the U.S. National Parks Service. They are among the most frequently visited natural recreation areas in America, where millions of American families vacation every year.
Would it surprise you to learn that every one of these unique American landmarks is also controlled by the United Nations? It’s amazing but true. Every one of the natural and historic treasures listed above – plus more than a dozen more in America – has been designated an official World Heritage Site by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), which is headquartered in Paris, France.
Sites included in the World Heritage program are considered to have “outstanding universal value” as part of our common world heritage. They are designated as protected areas under the 1972 World Heritage Treaty, which is itself an outgrowth of the 1968 UNESCO Biosphere Conference where the currently ubiquitous concept of “sustainable development” first saw the light of day.
But, wait there’s more. There are 47 OTHER locations in America designated as UN Biosphere Reserves, which are vast parcels of land set aside for conservation and scientific study. Symbolized by the Egyptian ankh, the UN’s Man and Biosphere program is designed to help humans achieve a “balanced relationship with the natural world” again, through “sustainable use”of natural resources.
Button, button, who’s got the button?
What does this mean in real life? Well, nothing, if you believe the UN. “Biosphere Reserves have no international or other authority,” claims the website of the U.S. MAB program. Their list of common “myths” about MAB includes denials that the program results in any “loss of sovereignty” or threat to private property.
Others see it differently. Henry Lamb, executive vice president of the Environmental Conservation Organization and chairman of Sovereignty International, says that the “Operational Guidelines” developed by the UN are effectively enforced by the U.S. government agencies managing the sites locally.
“Neither Congress, nor any state legislature, has ever voted to approve any of the 47 UN Biosphere Reserves in the United States. The management policy for millions of acres covered by these reserves is crafted by international committees of bureaucrats, none of whom is elected. To comply with ‘international obligations,’ the United States conforms its management policy and, in some cases. its law to accommodate the wishes of bureaucrats that are completely unknown to the people who are governed by the policies,” Lamb insists.
“This reality is but a hint of what is in store for those governed by the rule of international law. Massive documents, such as the 1140-page ‘Global Biodiversity Assessment,’ the 300-page ‘Agenda 21,’ and the 410-page ‘Our Global Neighborhood,’ all paint a picture of the international law that is being devised to govern the world in the 21st century.” (For more information visit www.eco.freedom.org .)
The core of the buffer zone is the transition area
Every Biosphere Reserve site consists of a protected CORE area, set aside strictly for conservation; a surrounding BUFFER ZONE, with limited human activity allowed; and a larger TRANSITION area, where otherwise legal human use may be severely restricted when the site is judged to be “in danger.”
For example, in 1995, Bill Clinton got the UN to declare Yellowstone Park a “World Heritage Site in Danger.” That gave him the “international obligation” to close down a coal mine on private property three miles away despite the fact that coal had been mined in the area for 150 years before Yellowstone Park was created, and the Crown Butte Mines had won an award for excellence in 1992.
Today, Yellowstone Park is still considered to be “in danger,” according to the UN, because of “year-round visitor pressure.” Too many U.S. tourists taking their kids to see Old Faithful, the global bureaucrats in Paris say.
The President has the sole authority to approve these UN designations. Congress has no oversight, and average American citizens have no input. The House of Representatives has twice passed a bill requiring Congressional approval before any more precious pieces of America can be designated either Biosphere Reserves or World Heritage sites. So far, the Senate has refused to even bring the measure up for a vote.
Call me old-fashioned, but I still think Americans ought to control American land, not UNESCO bureaucrats. Why are both Republicans and Democrats, Liberals and Conservatives, allowing the UN to wield this kind of influence inside our nation’s borders? U.S. taxpayers should be outraged!

Thank you so very much. Well written. Heard about "military" fully dressed at Yellowstone pointing guns at foreign visitors...had to find out. Typed in about UNESCO involved with our National Parks...got UNESCO.org and found out who is getting our precious lands: since Dec. 7, 1973 (Pres. Nixon), the UN has been accumulating National Parks and Monuments. Something interesting: 2008..Pres WHO?, has added 13 more sites - to be "considered".
It's a real "head shaker", a real screamer: WHY?
I feel so very sorry for the foreigners: they had saved to come here, they were excited to see our great beauty, see "the land of Freedom and Hope", only to have guns pointed at them and being pushed around. UNESCO military - Not ours. Now how is our stand in the world?
Thank you for allowing me to write.
PS: used to camp at Tuolumne (1960's) Now that is a heart breaker.
This is outrageous! Do taxpayers here in the US foot the bill to pay for international parks? I am considering a break from the UN!
When are the citizens of the U.S. gonna stand up for whats right? We must put a stop to the tyrants that call themselves the UN before its too late. United we stand Divided we fall. Allowing the goon Obama to sign so many executive orders is a mockery to our constitution. I live in fear for whats to come of our great nation.
While concern over the actions over the UN is definitely warranted just as it should be over any government action, not as someone who is paranoid but at as a cautious and engaged citizen. We must ask ourselves does this hypothesis sound reasonable? Russia has more UNESCO sites than we do? China and Italy have over twice as many.
Secondly mines in general produce some horrible pollution. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying like most Americans I enjoy there benefits, but we need to use some common sense regarding where we locate these facilities. And while true that mining had been going on for a considerable amount of time already there was about to be a substantial increase in the intensity of the mining. Secondly the mining company agreed to conduct $21 million in reclamation work, as required by law but often skipped out by mining companies but declaring bankruptcy and passing the bill onto the American Tax Payer. The company also receive what but ignorant of such things a tidy sum for the land. Now did Clinton use UN reasoning for these actions? I don't know, he did the right thing though and we know that politicians will use a multitude of reasons to meet there goals.
Many of our parks are over visited; God, mother nature, natural forces, whatever you want to call it, these areas weren't created with a Disney ability to stand up to huge crowds. While I don't have a solution to this problem people do need to be engaged in the discussion and the solutions. Just as we need to be engaged in all aspects of our countries government.
I have never witnessed so much corruption in judicial systyem.I myself am going thru it in a small town in Oklahoma. My 15 yr.old grandson got into trouble after being totally ignored in juvenile court and he has 5 mental emotional disorders.The court system is trying to put him in adult prison.Who does such evil as that? Putting a 15 yr.old boy into an adult prison? This must be stopped! We have a voice! Jesus is and always will be king!
