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 todays multilateralism lacks scale, ambition and teeth, Guterres said during a Thursday press conference on the launch of the UNs 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.

Go screw, UN.
This is why we don’t need the UN and why we need President Trump re-elected!!
You can take your global governance and shove it where the sun don’t shine.
Yeah, well, we’ve got plenty of teeth here in the U.S. George Washington called them our Liberty Teeth...and we’ve got about 500 million of them, a figure that grows by about 20 million per year.
The UN can keep its teeth out of this country, we don’t need them. Either that, or we’ll kick in their teeth with steel-toed boots.
Globalism, labeled multilateralism by the UN, is fascism.

If they keep it up Trump will cut the rest of their funding and kick them out of NYC.
Those blue helmets do make great targets!
