Page 8 <br /> Exhibit 12 Substack of Francis Boyle referencing violation of United Nations Charter <br /> Demarche against UN Pact for the Future <br /> 4� L <br /> Dear Excellencies: <br /> Please accept my Compliments.This Pact for the Future will be concluded by Heads of State and <br /> Heads of Government who presumptively have Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary Powers to <br /> unilaterally bind their respective States under International Law.As such this Pact will constitute <br /> a Treaty as defined by the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties with all the legal <br /> obligations that attach to and flow from a Treaty under both International Law and the domestic <br /> Constitutional Laws of the respective States. <br /> This Pact will constitute an end-run around the established procedures for amending the United <br /> Nations Charter that are set forth therein.This Pact will set up the United Nations Secretary <br /> General as the Dictator of the entire Uniting Nations Organization upon his mere ipse dixit that <br /> there exists an "emergency" as defined by him. To the contrary there are six Independent <br /> Organs of the United Nations: The Security Council; the General Assembly; The Trusteeship <br /> Council; The Economic and Social Council; The International Court of Justice; and the <br /> Secretariat.That is precisely why he is called Secretary General, a mere Secretary, and not <br /> Director General. These 6 U.N. Organs were deliberately set up at the San Francisco Conference <br /> to be independent of each other,with no one Organ having supervisory jurisdiction over any <br /> other Organ. <br /> But under this Pact,the UN Secretary General will in violation of the terms of the United <br /> Nations Charter arrogate to himself all the powers of the General Assembly,the Trusteeship <br /> Council,the Economic and Social Council, and the Secretariat, as well as over all U.N. <br /> Specialized Agencies and U.N.Affiliated Organizations. He will thus become the Dictator <br /> General of the United Nations Organization,not its Secretary in charge of only the Secretariat as <br /> originally designed at the San Francisco Conference.This totalitarian arrangement will constitute <br /> a grave,dire, and immediate threat to the Sovereignty and Independence of all United Nations <br /> Member States.For these reasons,I implore you to vigorously oppose this Pact for the Future. <br /> Please accept the assurance of my highest consideration. <br /> Francis A. Boyle <br /> Professor of International Law. <br />
