The musical event, which took place in Central Park on the last weekend of the high-level week of the General Assembly, is the flagship event of Global Citizen, the largest movement in the world to end extreme poverty. This year’s programming included international stars such as Shakira, Cardi B and Rosé.

Ms. Mohammed went on stage to thank the festival -goers and remind them that only five years remain to do the Sustainable development objectives – A plan for a fairer future for people and the planet – a reality. “We still have a way to go,” she told the crowd. “We move, but it’s just not fast enough and the clock turns really strong. »»

As a special councilor of the former UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, Ms. Mohammed played a decisive role in traveling by the objectives and the guarantee of the consensus of the UN Member States in 2015. Speaking on Friday, she reiterated that 4.3 billions of dollars are necessary each year to finance the objectives and leave no one behind.

Give a chance to peace

“What really matters is to give peace for women in Sudan a chance for children in Gaza, for the inhabitants of Ukraine. We need peace everywhere, “she said, calling for measures to guarantee that artificial intelligence does not create new divisions, so that women are included at each table where decisions are made, for quality education and for the planet,” from Amazon to Congo and every corner of the world “.

The deputy chief of the UN urged those present to see solutions where others see dead ends and to use their voice to “cut the noise, demand that everyone is doing better and not accepting the globalization of indifference”.

Mr. Parilla began by expressing her solidarity with Palestine and condemning what he described as “genocidal extermination and ethnic cleaning” of Palestinians by Israel.

He said that “a handful of countries and individuals have raised more wealth than the vast majority of all other combined countries”, the United Nations continue to be the most representative organization of the international community and must be protected and reinforced.

Mr. Parilla called for a new international order which guarantees “the right to development, sovereign equality, participation and representation of developing countries in the decision of global policy”.

He referred to the reform initiatives of UN80 of the Secretary General who, he said, need to strengthen the intergovernmental nature of the United Nations, and to improve his ability to better face the urgent challenges of today.

Reject “peace by force”

The international community, he argued, must reject the doctrine of “peace through the force” which is “equivalent to imposing the arbitrary will of American imperialism on everyone”, and would have the detriment of the values ​​on which the UN was founded.

The Minister of Foreign Affairs also demanded the end of the economic blockade imposed in Cuba by the United States for more than six decades, which he described as “an economic war” aimed at depriving the Cubans of their livelihoods and their sustainability.

“Cuba faces a serious scenario of prolonged and daily power failures, difficulty providing food, insufficient availability of drugs, a reduction in public transport, limited community services and pronounced inflation, which erods real income.”

Parilla also warned of an imminent threat of war in the Caribbean and said that the deployment of American military forces in the region to fight crime and drug trafficking was a pretext and “a dangerous situation that violates international law”.

With regard to climate change, the Minister said that from the podium of the General Assembly, science and “decades of collective work” to protect the planet are questioned.

“If the unsustainable models of production and consumption of capitalism are not fundamentally modified, we will exceed the fateful threshold of 1.5 degrees Celsius before 2030,” he said.

Referring to new technologies, Mr. Parilla said that with a small number of transnational companies imposing their operating systems and controlling what content is seen, read and heard: “We suffer from the dictatorship of the algorithm”.

He called on the UN to create common standards, in order to ensure that technology, in particular artificial intelligence, benefits everyone.

The veteran politician said that the principle had been flouted several times by Western countries, citing the NATO attack on Yugoslavia, the invasion of Iraq by a coalition led by the United States and the NATO military operation in Libya.

“The root of the problem lies in incessant attempts to divide the world into us and in us, in democracy and autocracy, in a flower garden and a jungle, those who are at the table and those who are on the menu.”

West “Sabotage The pursuit of constructive solutions”

Friday, an attempt by Russia and China to extend the alleviation at Iran by virtue of a 2015 nuclear agreement did not receive enough votes in the Security advice. Mr. Lavrov argued that the vote showed that the West has a policy of “sabotage of the pursuit of constructive solutions to the UN Security advice“And a desire” to extract unilateral concessions from Tehran by blackmail and pressure. »»

The sanctions, continued the minister, are used to “remove and intimidate competitors in the global economy and policy”. He called for the lifting of Cuban sanctions and expressed the solidarity of Russia with the people of Venezuela in the face of external sanctions.

Security council resolutions are flouted in the Balkans, said Lavrov, citing the unilateral recognition of Kosovo who, he said, was contrary to Resolution 1244.

Europe “obsessed with the aim of inflicting a defeat on Russia”

As for Ukraine, Mr. Lavrov justified the current war by affirming that the country is led by a regime which “took power following an anti-constitutional coup organized by the West in 2014”, plans to eliminate the Ukrainian Orthodox Church and eradicated the Russian language in education, culture and the media.

Mr. Lavrov said that Russia was open to negotiations on “the elimination of the deep causes of the conflict”, as long as the interests of the country are guaranteed and that the rights of Russians and Russans in Ukraine are restored.

Moscow, said that Mr. Lavrov does not intend to attack the countries of the European Union and NATO, despite the countries of these blocks “telling their voters that war with Russia is inevitable”.

The Russian Minister was more positive on the state of American relations, expressing the hope that the dialogue started in Alaska will lead to a resolution of the Ukrainian conflict and will develop pragmatic cooperation.

Do not leave a “coup d’etat of the palace” at the UN

The current balance of world powers, has argued Mr. Lavrov, is not reflected in the United Nations, which is why Russia supports the requests of Brazil and India for permanent seats on the Security Council, and Secretary General António GuterresProposed reform of the UN.

The secretariat, he added, must represent the countries of the world fairly and “attempts at a coup d’etat of the palace, its privatization by a small group of countries, must not be authorized”.

Russia, noted Mr. Lavrov, is impatiently awaiting a constructive discussion of the development of the organization during a special meeting of the Security Council that Russia, as president, plans to organize the day of the United Nations on October 24.

“Nazism lifts its head ‘

More and more countries have said that the Minister of Foreign Affairs is involved in “confrontation regimes”. He said NATO is trying to surround the whole of Eurasia with a “military ring”.

Nazism, he added, “to raise its head in Europe”, and militarization is gaining momentum, with politicians in certain EU and NATO countries speaking of a third world war as a probable scenario.

He insisted that Russia does not act for the Revolution in a country and simply calls the Member States and the management of the UN Secretariat to “adhere to all the principles of the Charter of the United NationsWithout exception, without standard double. »»

“How did the UN have lived up to expectations,” asked Mr. Jaishankar, stressing conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, as well as in Western Asia and “countless hotspots” which “do not even make the news”.

The Minister denounced a perceived lack of global solidarity on a number of questions: he described the slow progression of the Sustainable development objectives (which are far from the completion of the 2030 deadline) as “a desolate image”, condemned “recirculated commitments and creative accounts” which, he said, pass for climate action, and the rich countries accused of isolating themselves from energy and food insecurity, while nations stressed to resources.

Global economic concerns include the “volatility of prices and uncertain market access”, argued the minister, technological control, the supply chain and critical minerals, the protection of sea channels and restrictions on the evolution of a global workplace.

These questions indicate a need for more international cooperation, he suggested, while questioning the UN’s ability to resolve them. Jaishankar said the UN was “in a state of crisis” and blocked, partly due to resistance to reform, even if most members want change. “It is imperative that we saw through cynicism and that we deliberately approach the reform program,” he said.

Face terrorism

In a reference to current disputes with Pakistan, Mr. Jaishankar said that, for several decades, major international terrorist attacks were traced to the neighbor of India.

He declared that India exercises his right to defend his people against terrorism and to bring to justice his authors. The fight against this threat, he said, is an area where much deeper international cooperation is necessary, and incessant pressure exerted on the whole of the terrorist ecosystem.

India’s duty to contribute

Mr. Jaishankar then described India as a leader in the world of world, responsible for more than 600 development projects in 78 countries. The country, he said, advances to meet the urgent needs of other countries, whether in terms of “funding, food, fuel fertilizers”.

He gave the example of the emergency aid that India planned after the earthquake in Afghanistan in 2024, and the most recent earthquake in Myanmar, and the contribution that India brings to peacekeeping, providing troops as peaceful headings in hot dots of the Golan Heights in Western Sahara and Somalia.

“The prosperity islands cannot flourish in an ocean of turbulence”

The minister then praised the economic achievements of his country, especially in the last decade. He mentioned the Indian start -up ecosystem, rapidly growing infrastructure and commitment to exploit artificial intelligence in a responsible manner.

The approach of India, explained that Mr. Jaishankar, can be summarized as the autonomy, solid security and self -confidence of a large rapidly growing economy.

He concluded with a call to the ninth decade of the UN to be leadership and hope. “International cooperation must prevail because the prosperity islands cannot prosper in an ocean of turbulence.”
