United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres has put forward an initiative to battle inequality - a New Global Deal that will aim to create a fairer model of global governance, Guterres said on Saturday in his lecture commemorating Nelson Mandela.
"The COVID-19 pandemic has brought home the tragic disconnect between self-interest and the common interest; and the huge gaps in governance structures and ethical frameworks," he said.
"To close these gaps, and to make the New Social Contract possible, we need a New Global Deal to ensure that power, wealth and opportunities are shared more broadly and fairly at the international level," Guterres stressed.
According to the UN chief, another factor that people "have had enough" is the anti-racism movement that has spread from the United States all over the world after the killing of George Floyd.
"[They have had] enough of inequality and discrimination that treats people as criminals on the basis of their skin color; enough of the structural racism and systematic injustice that deny people their fundamental human rights," he continued. "These movements point to two of the historic sources of inequality in our world: colonialism and patriarchy."

He said with confidence that developing nations should have a much stronger voice in global decision-making.
"We also need a more inclusive and balanced multilateral trading system that enables developing countries to move up global value chains," Guterres said.
The United Nations chief plans to discuss his new initiative with all the countries at the next 75th session of the UN General Assembly as well as on other international platforms.

This is from TASS which is a Russian news source - I've been doing some web searching and seeing this on Al Jazeera and US News but none of them go into this level of detail but infer that this was in the speech so take it with a grain of salt for now
These ARE the End Times so...
In other words, the takers want to vote themselves more takings.
“developing nations should have a much stronger voice in global decision-making.”
These places are “developing” because they have incompetent (and corrupt) leadership. Who in their right mind would want the satraps of shttholes calling the shots for anyone else?
Exactly.
Uh...no.
Time to abolish the “United Nations”
Ten to one this propaganda was dreamed up in china.
Uh, hey u.n.———phu cough!
I call BS on this patently false propaganda. POWER GRAB for the UN is all this is. They can go pound sand.
NO DEAL.
FU UN
I ran the Secretary General‘s comments through my Jonny Quest decoder ring. Here’s what I got:
“I need lots of American money to implement my crazy socialist agenda.”
Fortunately for America Donald Trump also has a Jonny Quest decoder ring.
The USA funds almost a quarter of the UN budget and pays just over 2.5 times the second highest funding nation. Yet our population is just 4.25% of the world.
Based on this a even distribution would cut the USA contribution to less than a quarter of what we send them.
It’s interesting (ok not really, we know why) that NONE of the US media sources or even the UK ones have reported this.
MSN just posted an article about how he was trying to continue Nelson Mandela’s quest for equality and democracy (yeah, right!)
Next to the US RAT party, the UN is the most corrupt organization on the planet.
While Gropin Joe hides in his basement drinking O-V-A-L-T-I-N-E
And we continue to fund this gaggle of wastrels and grifters.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
We have a winnah!
Malusa takes the Blue Ribbon on this one...
Yup. Well past time to get the US out of the UN and the UN out of the US.
