From all over the planet, they came to the UN with one message: make things, especially yourself

World leaders spent last week at the United Nations often criticizing the UN itself.

NEW YORK -- As a general rule, it's not polite to visit your hosts and criticize the way they do things.Unless you help pay the rent.

World leaders have spent the last week at the United Nations doing it, gathering at their headquarters to continue - and those who work in the most prestigious institutions on the planet - not in good shape.

Some version of this happens every year.It is part of the general theater.Leaders point out the UN's flaws and tell it to get out and do things. Then, at the end of the speech, they congratulate themselves on a job well done and go home, effectively saying, "Good speech!"And the conversation stops for a year.

But in recent years, as the United Nations has become more and more one of its subjects and beloved members of the General Assembly, a particular phrase has appeared from the mouths of world leaders more and more.

And this year marks the 80th anniversary of "Tevasi" by Secretary-General Antonio Guterres himself, after proposing major reforms to "This August Assembly" conspiracies of perhaps a dozen nations.

"Today we have to ask ourselves: How does the United Nations live up to expectations? Just look at the current state of the world," said Indian Foreign Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar. "In what ways does the United Nations actually play a role?"

Guinea's Foreign Minister Amara Kamaradan said that "the best days of our shared organization may be behind us."

is that so

There is a widespread belief that the United Nations is not fulfilling its potential

Much of the criticism is that the United Nations has generally failed to deliver on what Terrance Michael Drew, the Prime Minister of Saint Kitts and Nevis, called "big and strong," while effectively looking after several smaller, quieter nations, undermining its multilateral mandate.But there are also complaints.special calls

Among them: unfair representation on the UN Security Council, where Africa has a special problem.For three decades, it has called for a permanent, veto-wielding seat on the Security Council, which has just five permanent members while other nations rotate.Every year, African leaders express frustration at being treated with what Botswana President Duma Boko called “affable indifference.”

"We must free the Security Council from this humiliating paralysis," said Malaysian Foreign Minister Mohamad Hasan."Reform is no longer possible. It is inevitable."

Critical discussion came from all geographies.Day after day, the leader gets what he got the leader.

“We have reason to respect what has been achieved: rights have been expanded, the poverty ladder has been raised, medicines and measures have crossed borders.” So far, alongside these shortcomings - there are partial promises, delays and practice that benefit the public. Progress has been made.

Like many organizations, much of the most important work is done behind the scenes and even off-site.The United Nations runs hundreds of programs around the world that help millions of people facing all kinds of challenges around the world.And because of the administrative nature of the General Assembly, the United Nations sometimes finds it politically expedient to criticize notified countries when problems arise around the world.Even US President Donald Trump, who is definitely not a fan of the United Nations, said it in a speech.

"What Is the Purpose of the United Nations?"He said."It has a great weight, but for the most part it does not come, at least, at least, in empty words, does not solve the war."

And he pointed out: "All I got from the United Nations was an escalator that stopped in the middle on the way up."

Amidst the criticism, however, a different kind of responsibility was acknowledged - the responsibility of the nations that belong to it."The UN is only the sum of its parts. Any lack of influence lies at the feet of the member states. The solution is not to abandon it, but to fix it," said Bahamas Prime Minister Philip Davis.

And the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Germany, Johann Wadeful: "It depends on us, the member states.WE are the United Nations.We want this United Nations to be strong."

Perhaps the idea itself is the real achievement

Multinationalism, the thread of the United Nations since its creation after World War II, remains the cornerstone of the organization.It is a particularly effective concept for weaker states that rely on the UN to level the playing field between smaller states and dominant powers.

But Trump’s outright rejection of multilateralism set the tone for this year’s widespread frustration that the United Nations is a bloated bureaucracy that can’t really get things done.

"Reform is not just about structures. And trust is about reliability. That trust is being destroyed."

Romanian Foreign Minister Ona-Slovia Tou is believed to be the ghost of the League of Nations, the post-war stand for the United Nations, which collapsed due to its own failure to prevent World War II and was replaced by the United States in 1946. "We don't know everything about the League of Nations." We all shouldn't repeat that.

It was too perfect, the United States as a conclusion like any other, I had a long time to come out with a path to that path.

"The achievements of the United Nations so far are not small. They are the essence of our shared humanity," said Brunei Foreign Minister Dato' Eriwan Pehin Yusof."Yet it would be disingenuous to talk only about successes."

Gunner Anthony has written about international law for the Contra Consbers since 1995 and there are secular meetings in the US.
