How is he wrong? In your worldview, there's no Authority higher than government – because you don't…
No it’s a STRONGLY urged thing to allow by the very UN itself, the council of the most powerful and…
The UN, you leftists tend to forget, does not government the world – it is a feeble, far-left elitist organisation no nation is under any obligation to listen to. And, the secular worldview is fundamentally irrational, so I don't give a dang what logically bankrupt belief system says about this issue.

It does however promote certain aspects of politics to maximize the benefit of the most people, and when it makes statements or nations debate one another, these issues gain the attention that almost inevitably leads to pressuring for change, because, generally speaking, it makes the most people’s lives better. The UN itself is, at most, socially progressive, which doesn’t make it leftist by any means, especially in the economic sphere.

By saying "it does however" you have conceded that the United Nations is not a government. But that, you seem not to realise, destroys your last hope for getting off the hook with your human rights nonsense on this issue of Ghana – because I informed you that, in your perspective, government is the be-all-end-all on rights. If you disagree, congratulations! You're not an atheist, (or at least not a logically consistent one) because you're appealing to an Authority higher than government, which must of necessity by a made-up god, or God. But you responded, to my right… Read more

It is a government, though it is a weak semi-confederation of governments, it has a level of governmental power in many areas. It’s like a congressional caucus in a way, it has a sort of power, but not much, and with its members, laws are upheld in many areas, including the human rights drafted and recognized by the vast majority of nations, courtesy of First Lady Roosevelt. The government serves as an enforcer of rights, and as its biggest members are representative governments, and the majority of the people in those nations agree with the creation of these rights, the people themselv… Read more

It is not a government, and it has explicitly stated that it is not a government, but an international peace keeping association that relies upon the voluntary cooperation of independent states to function.
You just said explicitly "rights are created by people and established by government," – you just renounced your right to complain about Ghana's policies. Under the UN Charter, it ha a right to "self-determination" and independence, so you as an American need to but out and mind your own business.

It is a governing body with many non-binding measures, though it is not a GOVERNMENT or a Supra-state in and of itself, the organization does have some legally binding power for its participants, closely mimicking a semi-governmental parliament/congress in the Security Council, though most of it is debate and speaking, large amounts of its purpose and action is about international connections and enforcement of bare minimum rights that can lead to rebuke and sanctions from participant nations.
First of all, the people are not just the nation, they are all the nations, agreed upon and founded… Read more
