UN secretary general calls for “global governance” with ‘teeth’

NEW YORK, June 26, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) — United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres is calling for a “multilateral” level of governance with the “teeth” to “function as an instrument of global governance where it is needed.”

“The problem is that today’s multilateralism lacks scale, ambition and teeth,” Guterres said during a Thursday press conference on the launch of the UN’s “comprehensive response to COVID-19” — the novel coronavirus that originated in Wuhan, China.

“And some of the instruments that do have teeth, show little or no appetite to bite, as has recently been the case with the difficulties faced by the Security Council.”

In the interdependent world of today, “national interests are not easily separated from the global good,” Guterres said.

Moreover, economic and social upheaval caused by the coronavirus pandemic “has laid bare severe and systemic inequalities” across the world, and underscored its fragility in the face of “climate crisis,” the threat of nuclear war, and “lawlessness in cyberspace,” he warned.

“We must reimagine the way nations cooperate,” Guterres contended.

“We need a networked multilateralism, bringing together the UN system, regional organizations, international financial institutions and others,” he said.

“And we need an effective multilateralism that can function as an instrument of global governance where it is needed.”

He reiterated the same message at a virtual press conference on June 26 to mark the 75th anniversary of the adoption of the UN Charter in San Francisco.

This means that Biden and Pelosi don’t meet the qualifications.

The UN has never won a war, but knows how to squander money, rape innocents in 3rd-world countries, and put actual genocidal murderers on “Human Rights Commissions.”

We should cut the gonads out of every UN employee for this.

nope

un is not government

central planning is one of the worst form of government

press conference on the launch of the UN’s “comprehensive response to COVID-19”

Five months at least later they are on top of it. What a joke.
