Argentina President Warns Of UN’s ‘Dictatorial’ Tendencies And ‘Anti-Israel’ Stance
By Stefan J. Bos, Chief International Correspondent Worthy News
NEW YORK (Worthy News) – Argentina’s president has condemned the United Nations’ policies toward Israel and warned Wednesday that the U.N. is turning into a dictatorial monster pushing its will or ideology on the world population.
Javier Milei, in his first address before the United Nations General Assembly, said the world body “has transformed into a Leviathan with multiple tentacles.”
He noted that the U.N. “intends to decide not only what each nation-state should do but also how all the citizens of the world should live.”
The president condemned its latest “Pact for the Future” as “twisted,” saying the policy was the “wrong course” to follow.
The “Pact for the Future” was the centerpiece of the Summit for the Future, which kicked off the high-level week for the U.N. General Assembly this week. The pact is the culmination of policies and mission statements issued by U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres over the past few years.
It seeks to expand the scope and focus of the U.N. and its members to handle “global shocks,” such as “disruptions to global flows of goods, people or finance.”
‘PRIVILEGED INTERESTS’
Yet, “The adoption of this agenda is fully in line with these privileged interests and looks beyond the principles that were set out in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and it is therefore twisted the role of this organization and set it on the wrong course,” Milei stresses during his impassioned speech.
He noted, “This is how we moved from an organization that pursued peace to an organization that imposes an ideological agenda on its members.”
Milei accused the U.N. of turning into “one of the main proponents of systemic violations of freedom,” citing the organization’s support for the COVID pandemic lockdowns and allowing “bloody dictatorships” such as Venezuela to sit on the Human Rights Council “without reproach.”
“For this reason, I’d like to officially express our dissent on the Pact for the Future that was signed on Sunday. And I invite all nations of the free world to support us, not only in the U.N. in relation to this Pact but also in the establishment of a new agenda for this noble institution that is the agenda for freedom,” Milei declared.
He also condemned the U.N.’s approach to Israel. Milei suggested that the U.N. was biased toward the Jewish nation while celebrating countries who “punish their women just for showing their skin in this same house that have voted against the State of Israel, which is the only country in the Middle East to defend a liberal democracy.”
Israel’s Ambassador to the United Nations, Danny Danon, applauded Milei’s challenge to the General Assembly and Guterres’ pact and called Milei “a true friend of the State of Israel.”
“In this hall where they slandered Israel all day, you expressed courage and supported Israel!”
