Is this the plan for one-world government?
Lovers of conspiracy theories frequently point to plans to set up a one-world government. They will find plenty to be concerned about in Phil Goff's outline of the United Nations plan to increase its powers to intervene in countries (all in the name of combating terrorism, of course).
"The report points out the international community could face a nightmare scenario combining terrorism, weapons of mass destruction and irresponsible states – circumstances that could conceivably justify the use of force to prevent a latent threat being realised... New Zealand is supportive of the concept that the international community has a responsibility to protect people faced with mass murder, rape or starvation when a state is either unwilling or unable to provide that protection."
