United Nations We support the withdrawal of the United States from the United Nations and the removal of U.N. headquarters from U.S. soil.
Law of the Sea Adopted by the UN in 1982, we still oppose the Law of the Sea Treaty.
UN Treaty on the Rights of the Child ― We unequivocally oppose the United States Senates ratification of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child.
United Nations Agenda 21 -The Republican Party of Texas should expose all United Nations Agenda 21 treaty policies and its supporting organizations, agreements and contracts. We oppose implementation of the UN Agenda 21 Program which was adopted at the Earth Summit Conference in 1992 purporting to promote a comprehensive program of sustainable development projects, nationally, regionally and locally.
Cap and Trade We oppose Cap and Trade (Cap and Tax).
International Organizations We support U.S. withdrawal from the International Monetary Fund, the World Trade Organization and the World Bank.
