1994.
L'Ucraina accetta di smantellare il terzo maggior arsenale di armi nucleari al mondo in cambio delle rassicurazioni di USA e Russia che non sarà aggredita.
2026.
USA e Russia chiedono all'Ucraina di cedere territori in cambio della promessa che non sarà aggredita.
Unbelievably, Iran (yes, Iran) has just been elected to the UN Committee that sets the priorities for women’s rights, counter-terrorism and peacekeeping. This, the country with an almost uniquely violent record of brutalising women, executing peaceful female protesters and of course sponsoring very widespread terrorism.
Equally unbelievably, the UK nominated Iran and although the voting is secret, we must assume it subsequently voted for Iran in the General Assembly. This is the same UK that is nominally run by PM Andy Burnham who declared only a few weeks ago that “we will always stand with the underdog and take what action we can to support them.”
If the young women of Iran who dare to remove their headscarves, or sing, or engage in peaceful protest to press for basic democracy aren’t the underdog in their battle with a vicious and murderous regime… who then is an underdog?
I can’t exaggerate how ashamed I am of my country. I’m sickened and repulsed by what it has become. I barely recognise it. Burnham should hang his head in utter shame.
And as for the UN, it has come to embody institutional corruption and gaslighting on a global scale.
It put China, Qatar and Cuba in charge of the body charged with protecting human rights worldwide.
It put China, Cuba, Nicaragua, Saudi Arabia, and Sudan (all of which crush/ban NGOs in their own countries) in charge of the body that decides which civil-society groups and NGOs get UN accreditation and access.
It put Syria (under Assad) in charge the body that promotes education, culture, and press freedom.
How long must this continue? The UN has no credibility whatsoever and should be stripped back to the basics- a debating chamber for the big global issues of the day. And nothing more.
How can anyone defend this?
@contu_f@Lettera43@Azione_it@s_pubblico@pinapic Intendevo dire che non è che oggi Calenda si è svegliato e ha deciso per il Centro, se ne parla da mesi. Incrociamo le dita e speriamo che prevalga la collaborazione e la calma ☺️, sul programma vedo omogeneità.

@ArtemiosMi Pretendi troppo da una che viene dalla Dx ed ha iniziato la campagna elettorale. Il senso delle Istituzioni si è perso da tempo purtroppo, grazie anche ai grillini..
💔Afghan women can beg in the streets but are punished for working, studying, or speaking out. Girls are banned from school, women from universities, jobs, parks, even traveling alone.
Men in Afghanistan watching , UN watching, world leaders watching but no action .
@chiadegli Non si arrestano le persone per un teorema fasullo, le procure hanno da tempo superato il limite che mette al centro la dignità dei cittadini. Sono parte e come tale andavano regolate.
