2008 GOP Platform Eliminates ‘Commitment’ to United Nations
The 2004 Republican Party platform mentioned the U.S. being “committed” to institutions like the U.N., but the reference does not reappear in the 2008 platform. In general, however, the 2008 platform’s treatment of the U.N. differs little from that in the 2004 platform. The new document says the U.S. “will pay a fair, but not disproportionate, share of dues” to the U.N., and “will never support a U.N.-imposed tax.”
