by Benjamin Netanyahu

New York (USA) | 29 September 2020
Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen,
The Middle East is not exactly renowned for producing good news, and few expected this year to be any different. You know, the pandemic is ravaging our part of the world like everywhere else.
But I am pleased to report to you that this year, I can tell you about good news from the Middle East. In fact, I can report two pieces of good news.
Earlier this month, at a White House ceremony hosted by President Trump, Israel signed historic agreements with (...)

Intervention by Donald Trump the 75th meeting of the United Nations General Assembly

by Donald Trump

New York (USA) | 22 September 2020
It is my profound honor to address the United Nations General Assembly.
Seventy-five years after the end of World War II and the founding of the United Nations, we are once again engaged in a great global struggle. We have waged a fierce battle against the invisible enemy — the China virus — which has claimed countless lives in 188 countries.
In the United States, we launched the most aggressive mobilization since the Second World War. We rapidly produced a record supply of ventilators, (...)

Intervention by Vladimir Putin before the 75th meeting of the United Nations General Assembly

New York (USA) | 22 September 2020
Mr. President,
Mr. Secretary-General,
colleagues,
ladies and gentlemen,
This year, the international community celebrates two, without exaggeration, historic anniversaries: the 75th anniversary of the end of the Second World War and establishment of the United Nations.
The importance of these two forever interlinked events cannot be overemphasized. In 1945, Nazism was defeated, the ideology of aggression and hatred was crushed, and the experience and spirit of alliance, as well as the (...)

The neutrality of the Belgian presidency of the Security Council in question

by Bashar Ja’afari

New York (USA) | 13 February 2020
On instructions from my Government, I transmit the present identical letters in order to raise an important issue, namely the lack of balance shown by the current President of the Security Council, the Permanent Representative of Belgium, when chairing Security Council meetings on the situation in the Syrian Arab Republic and on counter-terrorism.
We have noticed with some concern and suspicion that the current President of the Security Council has failed to show impartiality and (...)

UNO : birth of the post-Western world

by Thierry Meyssan

Damascus (Syria) | 2 October 2018
The administration of the UNO had been hoping for a clash between the pro- and anti-Trump factions during the General Assembly. What actually happened was very different. While several States, including France, denounced the methods of the resident of the White House, Russia undertook an analysis of the Western alliance. According to Moscow, most of our current problems are due to the desire of the old colonial powers to conserve their domination of the rest of the world - at whatever the cost. In order to overtake them, a formidable coalition has been born.

Opening of the 73rd session of the United Nations General Assembly

by António Guterres

New York (USA) | 25 September 2018
Your Excellency Madam President of the General Assembly,
Distinguished Heads of State and Government,
Excellencies,
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Our world is suffering from a bad case of “Trust Deficit Disorder”.
People are feeling troubled and insecure.
Trust is at a breaking point. Trust in national institutions. Trust among states. Trust in the rules-based global order.
Within countries, people are losing faith in political establishments, polarization is on the rise and populism is on (...)

How the administration of the UNO is organising the war

by Thierry Meyssan

Damascus (Syria) | 5 September 2018
The internal document of the United Nations that we have just published attests to the fact that the administration of the Organisation is working against the UN’s objectives. The gravity of this situation calls for an explanation by Secretary General António Guterres, as demanded by Russian Minister for Foreign Affairs Sergueï Lavrov. Failing which, the member-States could call the United Nations into question.

Russia denounces the diarchy at the heart of the UNO and the USA

by Thierry Meyssan

Damascus (Syria) | 28 August 2018
The Western powers are moving inexorably towards Internet censorship, thereby facilitating the dissemination of propaganda and war indoctrination in their countries. In this context, an extremely violent tension is tearing apart the international scene. Aware of the increasing risk of general confrontation, Moscow is attempting to find credible interlocutors in the UNO and the United States. What is happening at the moment has seen no equivalent since 1938, and could degenerate in the same way.

As far as Lavrov is concerned, Guterres would be a straw man at the head of the UN

22 August 2018
Receiving the Lebanese Minister of Foreign Affairs and Immigrants, Gibran Bassil, his Russian counterpart, Sergei Lavrov, has again lifted the veil on the actual functioning of the United Nations .
According to the Charter, the purpose of the Organization is to peacefully settle differences between nations. However, since July 2012, the real power is no longer held by the Secretary General, but by his "number 2": the Director of Political Affairs, Jeffrey Feltman. Out of control, he (...)

The Security Council meets in Sweden avoiding the public eye

23 April 2018
Sweden, a temporary member of the Security Council, has just organized a delocalized session of this UN organ.
Each year, the Security Council holds a delocalized session for a friendly debate. 15 ambassadors and the UN Secretary General have convened in a converted farm in Backåkra, in the South of Sweden, with a view to freely debating the war in Syria.
