Considering that individual governments are already in a position to screw with internet using legislation (e-parasite, sopa, protect-ip bills), this may not be such a bad idea. When a council of countries are involved, may be governments wont resolve to such unilateral acts.

Of course they will. They'll make all sorts of unilateral acts that benefit countries.

Consider the UN. It's all about govts, not people. It can't be anything else because it's a group of govts.

The U.S. is not only a sovereign nation but the most powerful one, and it would ignore any U.N. resolutions it does not like. The U.S. is not bound to international law it never agreed to.
