The United Nations’ Law of the Sea Treaty, a wide-ranging measure critics say will grant the U.N. control of the 70 percent of the planet under its oceans, is now headed to the full Senate for ratification.
The measure passed the Senate Foreign Relations committee today by a 17-4 vote.
“If you want a U.N. on steroids, you want the Law of the Sea Treaty,” Sen. Trent Lott, R-Miss., has said. “I am absolutely convinced it undermines U.S. sovereignty.”
