Yeah man, they definitely impact me. Here's how:
Paris Climate Accord - This affects all Americans because it affects everyone on earth. Even sticking to the accords, the world will have to deal with a projected 2 degree rise in temperatures that will raise sea levels and contribute to devastating natural disasters. Even the most right-wing capitalists should be concerned that, unless we combat climate change, coastal infrastructure will be destroyed. The coast is where the vast majority of US citizens live.
International Criminal Court - The purpose of the ICC is to prosecute people convicted of genocide, war crimes, and basic human rights violations. The United States has always claimed to be an ardent defender of human rights. If America wants to show its support of human rights is more than just lip service, it should support the ICC in its mission to convict war criminals and bring them to justice.
UN Commission on Human Rights - The purpose of this commission is to create a consensus between nations that an individual nation has been committing human rights abuses, and to take actions to stop it. This organization is largely toothless, and the human rights records of the members are dubious, but Its still useful for nations to address heinous crimes with a unified front. I can't imagine why any American (or any human with empathy) wouldn't want human rights abusers named and shamed by the international community.
Trans Pacific Partnership - The TPP was created primarily to pressure China to end its unfair trade practices, something which Trump's administration clearly thinks is a big problem. Rather than implement TPP, the Trump admin decided to withdraw and impose tariffs, the cost of which is passed to the American consumer. Now, instead of standing against China with the help of other nations, the U.S. stands alone, taxing its own citizens to wage an ineffective trade war with Beijing. This is of major concern to U.S. citizens who bear the cost.
Iran nuke deal - This deal, brokered by America with the involvement of many other nations, represented real progress in engaging Iran diplomatically to stop its Nuclear program. According to the accounts of the international inspectors, Iran totally complied with the deal, as did the other countries involved. Now, with the U.S. pulled out, the deal is in danger of disintegrating, and if that does happen, the whole world may have to deal with a nuclear Iran.
UN funding for Palestinians & Global Compact on Migration - You're right that these things don't really affect the average American citizen. But I think they affect people with empathy and compassion for their fellow humans who are suffering. Palestine is one of the worst places to be in the entire world right now. The West Bank is blockaded, Hamas has a stranglehold on the government, and the citizens there are struggling to get basic necessities like clean water and electricity. I can't imagine why anyone would want the people of Palestine to suffer because of a dispute they were born into. Similarly, I don't know why any American would want to willfully ignore the plight of refugees desperate for the bare minimum to survive.
