In his first speech at the United Nations, Argentine president Javier Milei said:
Now, at some point, as is often the case with most bureaucratic structures that we men create, this organization stopped upholding the principles outlined in its founding declaration and began to mutate. An organization that had been essentially intended as a shield to protect the realm of men, was transformed into a multi-tentacled leviathan that purports to decide not only what each nation state should do but also how all citizens of the world should live.
The UN’s 2030 agenda:
Is nothing more than a supranational government program of a socialist nature, which seeks to solve the problems of modernity with solutions that undermine the sovereignty of nation states and violate people’ right to life, liberty, and property.
It is an agenda that seeks to solve poverty, inequality and discrimination with legislation that only deepens them, because the history of the world shows that the only way to guarantee prosperity is by limiting the power of the monarch, guaranteeing equality before the law and defending the right to life, liberty and property of individuals.
On the economic level, collectivist policies have been promoted that undermine economic growth, violate property rights and hinder the natural economic process, preventing the most disadvantaged countries in the world from freely enjoying their own resources to move forward.
On human rights:
In this same house, which claims to defend human rights, bloody dictatorships such as those in Cuba and Venezuela have been allowed into the Human Rights Council without the slightest reproach. In this same house, which claims to defend women’s rights, countries that punish their women for showing skin are allowed into the Committee for the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women.
In this very house, we have systematically voted against the State of Israel, which is the only country in the Middle East that defends liberal democracy, while simultaneously demonstrating a total inability to respond to the scourge of terrorism.
And so on, well worth attention. The USA remains the UN’s largest funder, with $18 billion in 2022, a full one-third of the UN budget. In 2021, Joe Biden resumed funding streams paused under Trump, including the UN Population Fund (UNFPA) and the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA).
