The United Nations General Assembly defended several tricky issues, Guterres: "We are in turbulent even unknown waters"

The 80th United Nations General Assembly High-Level Week (UNHCR) was officially launched on the 22nd, and this year marks the 80th anniversary of the United Nations and the most turbulent moment in the history of the United Nations. Today, the international community is most concerned about the ongoing war in Gaza. On the same day, the United Nations held a high-level international conference on the peaceful resolution of the Palestinian issue and the implementation of the two-country plan. The day before, after the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and Portugal officially recognized the State of Palestine, Israel threatened to “total or partial annexation of the West Bank”, but more countries such as France and others said the conference would face a direct threat to recognize Palestine. The United Nations “Eye of the Middle East”

“In turbulent waters.”

The high-level conference to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the United Nations was held in the United Nations Building on 22nd April, which marked the opening of the 80th High-Level Week of the United Nations General Assembly. According to the UN News Network, many countries and UN leaders will look back at the past 80 years of the United Nations history and look to the future to discuss how to build a more inclusive and responsive multilateral system. The theme of the 80th UN General Assembly is “Going Together: Promoting Peace, Development, Human Rights, 80th Anniversary and New Anniversary.” This year’s High-Level Week highlights the urgency of meeting the Sustainable Development Goals and renewing global cooperation.

The Associated Press said on the 22nd that this year marks the 80th anniversary of the founding of the United Nations and the most turbulent moment in the history of the United Nations. The challenges facing the United Nations are more severe than at any time in history: the ongoing wars in Gaza and Ukraine, the volatile foreign policy of the United States, hungry people around the world, climate change, and more. According to the report, the United Nations was born in the ruins of World War II. Its purpose is that all countries should work together to deal with political, social and economic problems, but now it is in deep crisis. As UN Secretary-General Guterres said: "International cooperation is facing pressure that we have never seen in our lives … We are in turbulent and even unknown waters."

According to the New York Times, world leaders gathered in New York to attend the annual meeting of the United Nations General Assembly to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the United Nations, however, people are far from celebrating because the world is full of wars, crises are imminent, and the world is far from achieving its development goals or finding solutions to climate change.

According to the report, a state of "stagnation" has emerged in the United Nations. Meetings are still held, speeches are still held, and documents are still issued. However, the United Nations cannot promote peace, and its various measures in climate change, infectious disease prevention and control, and future technologies have been blocked. "The United Nations is in a state of free fall," said Gowan, the representative of the International Crisis Group to the United Nations. He said the United Nations "will not provide clear answers to all questions in the coming week, but it may give us a clearer sense of how difficult the situation really is".

Six other countries will recognize the Palestinian state

The 80th United Nations General Assembly High-Level Week will be officially launched, with Palestine, the long-standing wound in world politics, becoming the main protagonist of the conference. For decades, the Palestinian issue has been plaguing the United Nations, testing the credibility of the United Nations and its ability to peace. On 22nd, leaders of many countries will attend the United Nations High-Level Conference “Peaceful Settlement of Palestine and Implementation of the ‘Two-State Plan’” hosted by France and Saudi Arabia. The day before, Britain, Canada, Australia and Portugal announced their official recognition of the Palestinian State.

After Britain, Canada and Australia announced the recognition of the State of Palestine, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu responded on 21 that recognizing the State of Palestine “is giving a huge reward to terrorism” and “there will never be a Palestinian state west of the Jordan River.” he said Israel would double the number of Jewish settlements on the West Bank “we will continue along this path.” the report also quoted Israeli officials as threatening “in response, is currently considering the option of fully or partially annexing the West Bank.”

In an interview with AFP, UN Secretary-General Guterres said: “We should not be afraid of possible threats of retaliation.”“Whether we act or not (Israel) these acts may continue,” Guterres stressed, “we at least have an opportunity to mobilize the international community to put pressure on them to prevent these acts from happening.”

France, Belgium, Luxembourg, Malta, Andorra and San Marino will officially announce their recognition of the State of Palestine at the UN High-Level Conference on “Peaceful Settlement of Palestine and Implementation of the ‘Two-State Plan’” when the recognition of the State of Palestine will increase to 157 states. French President Macron said that France recognized the State of Palestine “is the beginning of a path to peace”. Portugal’s Foreign Minister Languedoc told reporters at the UN delegation in New York: “The recognition of the State of Palestine as the basic policy of Portuguese foreign policy is always one and fundamental.

Trump’s speech will be focused again.

According to the United Nations News Network, from 23rd to 29th, heads of state, government and high-level representatives of United Nations Member States will attend the annual general debate of the UN General Assembly. They will use the unique multilateral international arena of the United Nations to elaborate their countries' foreign policies and seek solutions for a joint response to global crises.

The New York Times said that in the general debate of the United Nations General Assembly, U.S. President Donald Trump's speech will once again become the focus of controversy. The United States is indebted to UN contributions, withdraw funds from UN Peace Operations and UNHCR, withdraw from UNESCO, UN Human Rights Council and World Health Organization, and the second time withdraw from the UN's Paris Agreement on climate change. The report said that the U.S. government is not willing to find a solution to global problems at all, and the United States is not withdrawing, but destroying.

Eighty years ago, the Charter of the United Nations was inaugurated with a solemn declaration: “The people of the United Nations are determined to reaffirm their belief in fundamental human rights, personal dignity and values, and the equal rights of small and large nations,” and today the world is at a dangerous crossroads. The founding principles of the United Nations are under unprecedented attack.
