New World Order? How it benefits humanity
September 22 |
After the intervention of the President of Cuba, Miguel Díaz-Canel, on behalf of the Group of 77 plus China before the United Nations (UN), it was clear that the world needs a new World Order that allows the fulfillment of sustainable development goals at the global level.
For the agglomeration of countries, it is necessary that the world is redistributed again to be able to face the various conjunctures that today affect humanity.
The Group of 77 called for an urgent and comprehensive reform of the international financial architecture, with a more inclusive and coordinated approach to global financial governance, with greater emphasis on cooperation among countries.
In other words, to put an end to unfair competition and start collaborating in sustainable development cooperation for the benefit of humanity and not of a monopoly.
Such cooperation would be carried out in the areas of health, security and cooperation for sustainable growth in the economic area between countries, highlighting solidarity between nations and not competition.
At this point, it should be noted that the current world is distributed for the benefit of Western countries, leaving out the rest of the nations that make up the planet.
The proposal aims to democratize the economy so that nations have the freedom to develop together and in cooperation so that all countries have the same possibilities of development.
For the coalition of the Group of 77, a democratization of the global economy is necessary to combat famine and disease worldwide.
“We will reach 2030 with 575 million people living in extreme poverty (…) barely a third of the countries will manage to reduce national poverty levels by half. We will not put an end to hunger as agreed,” said Díaz-Canel in his speech on behalf of the Group of 77 + China.
The proposal to combat these evils is to put an end to the monopoly maintained by the great powers and promote collaboration among all nations to fight poverty and hunger.
The approach of the G77 plus China in relation to the New World Order is based on the elimination of the monopoly held by the Western powers.
In this sense, it is proposed to put an end to world dollarization and to give strength to new payment systems to promote equality among nations, putting an end to the monopoly held by the United States in payment methods.
It also seeks to prevent technology from being used as a tool for containment and suppression, but rather as a way of uniting nations to collaborate with each other in matters of development.
A slightly fairer new world order would give greater opportunities for development to countries that are in totally unequal competition in today’s world.
The G77 even proposes that cooperation in the area of health should be broader so that nations can work together to solve the different diseases that afflict human beings.
The aim is to avoid making the same mistakes made during the health pandemic, so that the world can act better, as a whole and with the mission of cooperating to solve all kinds of situations together.

China calls for dialogue amid rising Iran-Israel conflict
The Chinese government emphasized on Monday the importance of “creating the conditions to return to the proper path of dialogue” between Iran and Israel, which have exchanged attacks in recent days resulting in more than 20 Israeli and over 220 Iranian deaths.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun expressed deep concern at a press conference over the Israeli attacks on Iran and the “sudden escalation” of the military conflict.
Guo called on all parties to “take immediate measures to ease tensions and prevent the region from descending into further turmoil,” stating that “force cannot bring lasting peace.”
“If the conflict between Israel and Iran continues to intensify or even expand, the countries of the Middle East will be the first to suffer the consequences,” he added, while noting that China “will continue to maintain communication with the relevant parties, promoting peace and dialogue.”
Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi spoke last Saturday with his Iranian and Israeli counterparts to condemn the Israeli airstrike on Iranian territory, which he described as a “violation of international law” with the potential to trigger “disastrous” consequences.
In both calls, Wang reiterated China’s rejection of the use of force, defended diplomacy as the only solution to the Iranian nuclear dispute, and offered China’s mediation to prevent further destabilization in the Middle East.

Suspect arrested in killing of Minnesota legislator and husband, governor Says
Minnesota Governor Tim Walz announced on Sunday the arrest of Vance Luther Boelter, 57, the main suspect in the killing of Democratic legislator Melissa Hortman and her husband in a Brooklyn Park suburb on Friday night.
Boelter, who also reportedly shot State Senator John Hoffman and his wife early Saturday morning, was apprehended in Sibley County following an intensive manhunt involving hundreds of law enforcement officers.
In a public statement, Governor Walz condemned Boelter’s “unthinkable actions,” which resulted in the death of a woman who “shaped the core of who we are as a state.”
“We cannot become numb to this. We are a deeply divided nation,” Walz said in a statement posted on his X account.
“We move forward not with hatred or violence, but with humility, grace, and civility,” he added.
Expressing solidarity with the victims’ families, Walz said the entire state of Minnesota is in mourning. He also thanked law enforcement for their bravery and professionalism: “They have saved lives,” he emphasized.
“As we heal, we will not let fear win,” Walz concluded. “We must honor Melissa by moving forward with understanding, service, and above all, humanity.”
Throughout Sunday, police and sheriff units searched a rural area in Minnesota for Vance Luther Boelter, a security company director and preacher who, according to Governor Walz, acted out of politically motivated violence.

40,000 tourists stranded in Israel amid airspace shutdown over Iran conflict
Approximately 40,000 tourists are stranded in Israel following the closure of the country’s airspace amid escalating hostilities with Iran, the Israeli Ministry of Tourism reported on Monday.
The ministry has set up a virtual office to provide information via email (virtual@goisrael.gov.il) and phone (+972-53-583-5808), as well as a Facebook page called Israel Virtual Tourist Office.
Israeli Tourism Minister Haim Katz is in contact with hotels and accommodations across the country to offer support to tourists in need, the ministry added.
Many stranded travelers are considering crossing overland into Jordan or Egypt to seek flights from those countries. The Israel Airports Authority reminded the public that land border crossings remain open.
Three German tourists stranded in Jerusalem told EFE today that they have not received any assistance from their country’s embassy in Israel, and their primary option currently is to cross into Jordan to catch a flight from there.
Since early Friday morning, Israel launched operations against Iran, targeting military personnel and infrastructure, including energy and nuclear facilities, as well as numerous residential areas in Tehran.
In response, Iran has fired hundreds of ballistic missiles at Israel, some of which have struck various locations across the country, leaving at least 24 dead so far, according to Israeli authorities.
Iranian health officials report at least 224 deaths, mostly civilians, including at least 17 senior military officials—nine from the Revolutionary Guard—and more than a dozen nuclear scientists.
The Israeli military has warned that many more “targets” remain, while Iran’s Revolutionary Guard declared on Monday that it will continue missile attacks against Israel until its “destruction.”
