President Trump besides commented on Greenland's annexation by the United States: "For purposes of National safety and Freedom through the World, the United States of America feels that the ownership and control of Greenland is an absolute necessity."
"For the purposes of national safety and freedom worldwide, the United States of America considers having and controlling Greenland an absolute necessity".
Greenland is part of the Kingdom of Denmark, an ally of the United States, a associate of NATO and a national state specified as the European Union. UN Charter signed by the States
The United States in Article 2 says:
In order to accomplish the objectives set out in Article 1, The organisation and its members will follow the following principles:
The organisation shall be based on the rule of sovereign equality of all its members.
In order to guarantee that all members enjoy the rights and benefits of belonging to the Organization, they shall all comply in good religion with the obligations adopted in accordance with this Charter.
All members will deal with their disputes with global peace measures in specified a way as to prevent global peace and safety and justice from being threatened.
All members will refrain in their global relations from threatening to usage force or to usage it against the territorial integrity or political independency of any State or otherwise incompatible with the objectives of the United Nations.
Contrary to the current opinion, the content of Article 2 of the UN Charter does not warrant the borders or territorial integrity of states, as specified UN guarantees cannot be provided. The article only calls on associate States to respect the subjectivity of individual countries and nations, and possible conflicts and border disputes should be resolved in good religion through diplomatic action and dialogue. The text itself and its logic are a good example of the influence of the Polish Catholic priest Paweł Włodkowice on the Council in Constantia in 1414 on the Polish-Cruthian conflict. The UN Charter is besides an excellent example of the impact of Tomism on global legislation. (Tomism is simply a philosophical strategy based on the works of Saint Thomas of Aquinas. The full legal strategy of Latin civilization is built on the logic of Saint Thomas of Aquinas. Tomism introduces harmony between natural law and established law.)
The second legal document, which in the current opinion guarantees the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the states, is the Final Act of the 1975 Conference on safety and Cooperation in Europe signed by 33 countries including the United States and Canada. Below is the origin text:
I. Sovereign equality, respect for the rights deriving from the sovereignty of the participating States will respect the sovereign equality and individuality of each of them, as well as all rights consisting of and covered by sovereignty, including, in particular, the right of each State to equality with respect to law, territorial integrity and freedom and political independence. They will besides respect the right of each of them to freely specify and make their political, social, economical and cultural systems as well as its right to issue laws and regulations. Under global law, all participating States have equal rights and obligations. They shall respect the right of each of them to specify and form at their discretion their relations with another countries in accordance with global law and in the spirit of this Declaration. They believe that their borders can be modified in accordance with global law, peace measures and by agreement. They besides have the right to belong to or not to global organisations, either by being a organization to bilateral or multilateral global agreements, including the right to be or not to be organization to global alliance agreements; they besides have the right to be neutral.
II. opposition from the threat of the usage of force or its usage shall be held back by the participating States in their relations as well as in their global relations in general, from the threat of the usage of force or its usage against the territorial integrity or political independency of any State, or in any another way contrary to the objectives of the United Nations and to this Declaration. No consideration may service as an excuse for resorting to the threat of the usage of force or its usage contrary to this principle. Accordingly, the participating States will refrain from any action threatening to usage force or direct or indirect force against another participating State. They will besides refrain from any demonstration of force to encourage another participating State to quit its full sovereignty. They will besides refrain in their relation from any retaliation by force. specified threat of the usage of force or its usage will not be utilized as a means of resolving disputes or solving problems that may lead to disputes between them.
III. The integrity of the borders of the participating States considers each another to be inviolable all the borders of each of them, as well as the borders of all countries in Europe, and will so refrain – now and in the future – from bombings on these borders. Accordingly, they will besides refrain from any request or action to take over and usurp part or all of the territory of any participating State.
IV. The territorial integrity of the participating States will respect the territorial integrity of each participating State. Accordingly, they will refrain from any action incompatible with the objectives and principles of the United Nations Charter, against the territorial integrity, political independency or unity of any participating State, and in peculiar from any specified action constituting a threat of the usage of force or its use. Participating States shall besides refrain from making any of them subject to military business or another direct or indirect coercive measures taken against global law or subject to acquisition by or under the threat of specified measures. No specified business or acquisition will be considered legal.
The 2 papers of global law only require signatories to respect each other's integrity of state borders, respect for the subjectivity and independency of states, and erstwhile solving possible disputes through diplomacy and dialogue. Breaking these provisions threatens only with the ostracism (excommunication) of the aggressor and nothing more. Yes, this ostracism may, but it does not should be supported by sanctions vide state of Israel and its business of the Gaza Strip, Golan Hills and the West Bank of Jordan.
Both papers can be trivialised by paraphrase: Residents of the settlements undertake to respect each other, not to dump trash everywhere, to collect poop from their dogs, not to bargain property from others, not to break in and take possession of property, not to trample lawns, and conflicts between residents will be resolved in legal proceedings. Those who break these rules will hit the raven boards and no 1 will bow to them in the street or in the store.
Bareja's witch perfectly illustrated Hegemon's relation with his subjects:
Both the UN Charter and the OSCE Final Act contain legal gateways for signatories and let for the casusistics of the law. all legal standard must be guaranteed by any kind of coercion. A standard not guaranteed by coercion is simply a moral norm. As I mentioned earlier, Saint Thomas of Aquinas introduced harmony between natural law and established law. Thus ethics, morality, respect for human dignity are above the whims of the state, the ruler and his establishment. This was the argument utilized by Polish priest Paweł Włodkowice in the dispute with the Teutonic Knights at the Council in Constance. The same argument was utilized by Saint Andrew Bobola in writing the Vows of the Lion King John Casimir. These papers warrant the integrity of the state's borders with a moral standard which according to Protestant theology and American Exceptionalism ideology is subject to situational explanation and nothing more. The best example of this is the violation of Serbia's territorial integrity and the separation of Kosovo as an independent state, utilizing the moral argument, backed by the United States military force. president Trump's territorial claims towards Canada and Denmark are based on ad misericordiam, ad terrorum, and ad populum. They undermine any sense of global law and overturn all intellectual achievements of Western civilization. president Trump begins to introduce the law of Lex Gengis-chan, the law of the jungle where the stronger is always right. The United States as an empire in its full past has repeatedly shown that it has nothing to do with all the agreements and agreements it has signed, an example should be the agreements signed between the Indian tribes and the US government. Another example is the past of the Texas annexation. The US treats global law selectively, temporarily and instrumentally. The possible U.S. taking of Greenland will be no different from Russia's taking of Crimea. Violation of territorial integrity of the states has an erratic effect, which the partitions of Poland are the best example.
Danish Minister for abroad Affairs Lars Rasmussen responded to president Trump's claims:
“We are open to a dialog with the Americans on how we can possibly cooperate even more closely than we do to guarantee that the American ambitions are full,”
"We are open to dialog with Americans on how we can work together even more closely than before to guarantee that American ambitions are met."
In another words, Denmark is willing to agree to the annexation of Greenland, only on what terms? Greenland can declare independency to then enter into a political alliance with the US and become an autonomous associated territory like Puerto Rico. The United States will take possession of gigantic oil and gas deposits, will control the full North Atlantic, a large part of Antarctica, including the Arctic Sea Trail, and naturally isolate Canada. I'm guessing the Canadians are already dressing out of happiness! Greenland's annex will have very long-term consequences that are hard to predict. According to Lex American, national borders are only cartoons on the map, which can be moved freely depending on the changing situation. Poles experienced with partitions, the Ribbentrop-Molotov Pact, the General Gubernia, Yalta and Curzon Line, should look at the abroad policy of their favourite president Trump. Although Poland is an crucial part of a national state called the European Union, I dare say that the borders of the Republic will undergo a drastic revision and this is against us.
