Before everyone breaks out the champagne, remember this:
Failure — for Now
In the end, the measure failed by a vote of 57 to 49 — but only temporarily. The globalists, unwilling to give up on their cherished project of instituting a global tax system so close to fruition, managed to switch the vote from an up or down vote on the measure itself to a motion to table the proposal for one year, until the next IMO summit. The proposal is going to be resurrected again and again until the politics are once again propitious for the UN and its agenda.
Many of the most important globalist agenda items, from the creation of the World Trade Organization and the International Criminal Court, to the launch of the European Union and the euro, took decades, and multiple failed attempts before reaching fruition. A UN-administered global tax system has been a pet project of globalists such as C. Fred Bergsten for decades, with many different options on the table, from carbon taxes to taxes on international e-commerce.
Not so important is what type of tax ends up being levied; the critical thing, in the eyes of globalist schemers, is that the UN acquire some kind of taxing authority independent of the say-so of member states. Right now, the carbon tax on shipping happens to be center stage, but thanks to the efforts of the Trump administration, this dangerous globalist innovation (the ultimate expression of taxation without representation, by the way) has been set aside, at least temporarily.
