In order to defend its right to speak in the United Nations, the United States has repeatedly proved with its actions that it has taken "special measures" to safeguard world peace. In the face of the increasing deterrent power of the United States, many members of the United Nations, even if they are unwilling, can only bear to say nothing.
And India, as the younger brother of Big Brother in the United States, actually had a conflict with his own brother this time. In order to secure their position, they openly proposed the creation of a new United Nations. India's move is undoubtedly challenging the authority of Lao Mei, but before this idea can be implemented, it was strangled by Lao Mei in the cradle.
So why is today's United Nations dominated by the United States? Why can India put its own life and death at risk and openly oppose the United States?
The authority of the United Nations has been challenged
In the Iraq War 20 years ago, the United Nations also expressed different opinions and positions, and in 2003, the Western coalition led by the United States launched a military operation against Iraq without the authorization of the United Nations Security Council. When the United Nations learned that the United States had become a victorious country, their actions undoubtedly trampled on the authority of the United Nations in the hearts of the world.
This blatant provocation by the United States has disgraced the United Nations in the hearts of various countries, but it is also worth pondering why the United States always provokes the authority of the United Nations without being subjected to any substantive sanctions, and can consistently express their opinions.
The United Nations' ignorance has also made all member states suspect that the fairness and justice advocated by the United Nations are particularly unbearable in the face of power. If the international affairs of the United Nations are compared to a football game, the United States is the referee and the player, and the United Nations is the spectator, they cannot guarantee the fairness of the game. The United States, as the protagonist, can not be responsible for its own actions, which is one of the important reasons why the United States will prevent the United Nations from relocating, because once it moves, the United States will lose its right to speak.
In addition, another important reason why the United States will not let the United Nations move is that the economic benefits brought by the United Nations are quite deep. Because the United Nations has many member states, each country will send representatives to reside, during this period their daily life needs to be maintained by each country, according to the data, the United States can rely on this billions of economic income.
However, on the other hand, the United States itself, taking advantage of its position, has always defaulted on its dues to the United Nations and United Nations peacekeeping funds for various reasons. As of the end of March 2023, the United States owed $2.4 billion in contributions to the United Nations, the highest amount owed by any member state. As a non-profit organization, the United Nations has no source of income, and its operating expenses are shared by Member States. In order to collect fees fairly and reasonably, the United Nations collects contributions in proportion to the different affluence levels of Member States.
As the world's number one economic power today, the total GPD of the United States reaches a quarter of the world, and it is common sense that the United States should not be in arrears. But why is it always reluctant to pay the normal expenses of the United Nations and be willing to be a veteran?
In fact, since the end of World War II, the United States' attitude towards the United Nations has been very tough, and if you want the United States to pay for it, the United Nations must compromise the proposals proposed by the United States. If you agree with me to give money, you will not see a single point if you disagree. In this way, until 1970, the United Nations entered some economically backward countries, making it impossible for the United States to continue to control the United Nations. The United States has once again played the role of a veteran and has begun to arrears its dues to the United Nations one after another, which has made it difficult for the United Nations to conduct normal international affairs.
The attitude of the United States towards the United Nations shows that the United States is a refined egoistic country, which not only does not fulfill its obligation to pay, but also holds the United Nations hostage by paying fees, and many unfair bills have appeared. The United States not only cannot give full play to its superpower advantages to drive global economic development, but also affects peace in some parts of the world, causing a huge negative impact on the world.
The importance of the United Nations to the United States
In order to ensure that the international affairs of the United Nations can be handled fairly and equitably, Member States have also proposed to discuss the relocation of the United Nations Headquarters. As a vested interest, the United States is firmly unwilling to agree. The United Nations is headquartered in the United States, which is an advantage for itself.
Since the end of World War II, the victory of the Cold War and the collapse of the Soviet Union, the United States, as a world superpower, has had tremendous economic, military and cultural influence. Western countries and most countries in the world have economic and military cooperation with the United States. And the United States leads many important international organizations internationally. If the United Nations headquarters moves out of the United States, those countries that cooperate with the United States will also jump out to oppose it, and even if the move to change land is correct, it will not change the psychology of their subordinates.
In addition, the United Nations headquarters has been established in the United States for more than 70 years, and the United States was like a giant seventy years ago, and the United Nations is like a pair of wings growing on the body of the United States, making him stronger and stronger. If the headquarters is moved away from the United States, it is like pulling out its wings, and the United States is bound to resist, but the United States forgets that although the United Nations is headquartered in the United States, it should be removed from the control of the United States.
It is now felt that the vote in the United Nations has gradually lost its effectiveness, and regardless of the final outcome, only they know whether or not the will of the majority of countries is complied with. While encouraging countries to express their different opinions, they use sticks to drive all countries to agree.
Therefore, in the eyes of most countries, the status of the United Nations is getting lower and lower, and following the views of the United Nations does not mean becoming an appendage of some countries, and as a result, countries that develop slowly can only follow them.
India suggests a new approach and ambition
Faced with such an outcome, oppressed nations can only rebel on their own and seek ways to save themselves. Recently, India has been uncharacteristically friendly with the United States, but has proposed that countries dissatisfied with the United States should start from scratch and form a new United Nations. The reason why India has this idea is because. The United Nations is dominated by the United States and developed Western countries, and the United Nations can no longer guarantee the interests of developing countries.
India proposes to develop into a United Nations organization based on China's SCO organization. Although the mainland is a developing country, but an independent political power, and the only permanent member among the developing countries, these conditions seem to be the precondition for choosing China for the United Nations, but we can also find that India is also out of self-interest, because in the United Nations he did not become one of the five permanent members, and now supports China to establish the United Nations Organization, which is nothing more than wanting to change from the three to the third and strive for advantages for India's future development.
But India's thinking is food for thought. As the hegemony of the United States in the United Nations has led to global tensions, if developing countries still pin all their hopes on the United Nations, I am afraid that the road will not be completed and the future will not be visible.
Since the United Nations is dominated by the United Nations, a developed country led by the United States, developing countries should also unite to fight for their own interests, confront hegemonism, and allow the United Nations to fully exercise its rights. If not, the move of the headquarters of the UN to any part of the world would be nothing more than a doll at the mercy of the hegemon.
In fact, a long time ago, India watched China, France, Britain, the United States, and Russia become permanent members of the United Nations, and he also began to move his crooked mind, hoping to become one of them to give him a certain right to speak. But everyone knows that India is a standout person, and if he also becomes a permanent member, it will turn the United Nations upside down.
In addition, the United Nations is an organization established after World War II, and India has not experienced much in it, so India has not become a permanent member, so India has repeatedly wanted to join the P5, and no country voted yes, which also caused India to be hit by a great self-information.
So when the power of the United States in the United Nations became more and more excessive, India began to step in, trying to make its ideas a reality through the dissatisfaction of all member states.
Coupled with India's intention to expand the SCO into the United Nations, it already shows that it is ready for everything, and if all this becomes a reality, then India can occupy an important place in the new United Nations with its original proposal. Therefore, according to the pie he drew for himself, he also proposed to use English as the third official language of the future Shanghai Cooperation Organization, so that India's status could be further established and India could also enjoy the advantage of discourse.
However, India's daydreaming, without waiting for what other countries think, his American big brother will take the lead in teaching him a lesson, so that he can eat indiscriminately, but words cannot be indiscriminately spoken.
As we can see, the United States has a special place in the United Nations.
As a founding member and permanent member, this means that the role of the United States in this is crucial. However, because the United Nations headquarters is located in New York, it provides considerable operating funds for the United Nations for this reason, and with money to support, the United States naturally regards this place as its home, and even speaks more authoritatively than other countries.
So when they saw what the United States was doing, India learned from the experience and wanted to imitate itself to reach their status. However, India does not know that the United Nations, as an intergovernmental international organization composed of sovereign States, means that the United Nations does not allow a single country to have the final say.
Even according to the current situation, it is obvious that the United States alone is about to become a reality, based on this situation, some countries have asked whether the voice of some countries can be weakened if the United Nations changes its position.
Seeing that other countries have this idea, Lao Mei, who loves power, wants to show her strength, so that the country that should shut up quickly shut up. So we can also see that the relationship between the US government and the United Nations seems to have become extremely tense in recent times.
At the same time, the United Nations headquarters is set up on their territory, so in the handling of international affairs, the United States always wants to intervene in the affairs that should be carried out according to the rules. However, they do not think so, and always look like they are making efforts for the development and progress of the whole world and even all mankind. In fact, the United States only wants to take the lead in the world and transform policies that are not conducive to the development of the United States into feasible measures that must be led by the United States in global development in the affairs of the United Nations.
Today's United Nations has almost lost its original appearance, in fact, there is no problem with this organization, and the problem is some countries that want to go hegemonic. Therefore, only when all countries unite in the pursuit of peace and justice can they ensure that their rights and interests are not threatened.
