US President Donald Trump, who attacked Beijing in various areas in his speech on Tuesday, quickly came to the fore, mainly because he claimed to have unleashed the “China virus,” “this invisible enemy,” on the world.
We must be accountable to the nation that unleashed this plague on the world!
Said the president of the United States, who swore at the same time: they would defeat the virus and the pandemic.
In an unusually short, pre-videotaped, seven-minute speech of the coronavirus epidemic, Trump accused China of something else. Thus, among other things, by
- pollutes the environment,
- overfishing hurts other countries.
Meanwhile, in the meeting room of the UN General Assembly in New York, the Chinese envoy was embarrassed; although in small numbers, but diplomats were present in the room. A Beijing representative denied the accusations, but Chinese President Xin Qing-ping’s speech came later.
And the American diplomat sitting in the room praised Trump before speaking to the president.
Proudly I put America first
– said in his speech Trump, whose motto was already in 2016, and his current speech is inevitably a campaign speech, a few weeks before the presidential elections in November.
Trump also attacked the World Health Organization, the United Nations (WHO), for believing it was stonework for China. Furthermore, the president said that if the UN wants to grow in its role, it needs to do more in areas such as
- the fight against terrorism,
- eradicate aggression against women,
- elimination of forced labor,
- protection of religious minorities.
The United States has always played a leadership role in human rights
He testified citing a historical example such as the abolition of the criminalization of homosexuality.
Faced with Trump, the right-wing Brazilian president, Jair Bolsonaro, spoke out in favor of his American ally, including transferring responsibility for the epidemic, accusing the media of panic. Bolsonaro himself was coronavirus in the summer.
Surreal birthday
A pandemic that has affected more than six million people in the United States alone has made this year’s General Assembly session surreal; A special touch to this is that the UN turns 75 this week.
Many accuse the world organization, in addition to acknowledging many of its important activities, including aid, of being marginalized in world politics: either it does not make cardinal decisions or it cannot enforce them.
The founding fathers probably expected more when they created the United Nations 75 years ago: the world organization did not become a supranational forum
László Borhi, a history professor at Indiana University and scientific advisor to the Eötvös Loránd Research Network, told Index.
He also sees that many argue that national interests also conflict within the organization and that the principle of collective security cannot prevent armed aggression.
At the same time, it fulfills its function to a certain extent: unlike its predecessor, the Alliance of Powerless Peoples, it has not yet ceased to exist and remains an important forum for consultation in international diplomacy.
Borhi adds.
The composition of the permanent members of the Security Council (BT) reflects the situation in 1945, and today the dividing line runs between the West and Russia and China. There was a striking example of this, in 1950, during the Korean War, when a BT resolution practically saved South Korea from aggression from the North. But today, the permanent members control each other with the veto, and it is also not sure that it is good not to have a veto and to play the organization that way.
