The Argentine president stated that the organization stopped promoting peace and began “imposing ideologies on its members”
Argentine President Javier Milei (La Libertad Avanza, right) said this Tuesday (24.Sep.2024) that the UN (United Nations) has stopped promoting peace to “imposing ideologies on its members on an infinite list of social topics”. The speech was made during his address at the 79th General Assembly. It is the first time that the president has participated in the meeting.
Milei said the UN had proven inept in responding to terrorism in the Middle East. “We have seen how an organization that was born to defend people’s rights has become the biggest proponent of systematic violations of freedom”said Milei.
The Argentine also stated that the lockdown during the COVID-19 pandemic should be considered a crime against humanity. According to him, the measure curtailed citizens’ freedom.
Furthermore, the president criticized the 2030 Agenda, which aims to boost the sustainable development of countries. He stated that the program follows a “socialist model”. For Milei, the objectives of the agreement conflict with the sovereignty of the countries and violate the population’s right to life, liberty and property.
“The adoption of this agenda is fully aligned with the interests of privileged people and goes beyond the principles established in the Declaration of Human Rights, distorting the role of this organization and putting it on the wrong path,” he stated.
The Argentine president also said that his government will not support UN policies that, according to him, imply the restriction of individual or commercial freedom, regardless of who promotes or supports them.
“I would like to publicly express our dissatisfaction with the Future Pact that was signed on Sunday [22.set] and I invite all nations of the free world to support us”he declared.
The agreement signed by 187 UN member countries, including Brazil, presents commitments on issues such as sustainable development, peace and international security. It also addresses paths for the reform of multilateral bodies, including the UN Security Council. Read the full (PDF – 1 MB).
