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.

U.S. and Mexico Reach Deal to Address Water Deficit Under 1944 Treaty
The United States and Mexico have reached an agreement to comply with current water obligations affecting U.S. farmers and ranchers and for Mexico to cover its water deficit to Texas under the 1944 Water Treaty, the U.S. Department of Agriculture said in a statement.
The department уточified that the agreement applies to both the current cycle and the water deficit from the previous cycle.
On Monday, U.S. President Donald Trump accused Mexico of failing to comply with the water-sharing treaty between the two countries, which requires the United States to deliver 1.85 billion cubic meters of water from the Colorado River, while Mexico must supply 432 million cubic meters from the Rio Grande.
Mexico is behind on its commitments. According to Washington, the country has accumulated a deficit of more than one billion cubic meters of water over the past five years.
“This violation is severely harming our beautiful crops and our livestock in Texas,” Trump wrote on Monday.
The Department of Agriculture said on Friday that Mexico had agreed to supply 250 million cubic meters of water starting next week and to work toward closing the shortfall.
Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins, quoted in the statement, said Mexico delivered more water in a single year than it had over the previous four years combined.
Trump has said that if Mexico continues to fall short of its obligations, the United States reserves the right to impose 5% tariffs on imported Mexican products.
Mexico’s Deputy Foreign Minister for North America, Roberto Velasco, said that a severe drought in 2022 and 2023prevented the country from meeting its commitments.

Several people shot in attack on Brown University campus
Several people were shot on Saturday in an attack on the campus of Brown University, in the northeastern United States, local police reported.
“Shelter in place and avoid the area until further notice,” the Providence Police Department urged in a post on X. Brown University is located in Providence, the capital of the state of Rhode Island.
U.S. President Donald Trump said on his social media platform Truth Social that he had been briefed on the situation and that the FBI was on the scene.
At 5:52 p.m. local time (11:52 p.m. GMT), Brown University said the situation was still “ongoing” and instructed students to remain sheltered until further notice.
After initially stating that the suspect had been taken into custody, Trump later posted a second message clarifying that local police had walked back that information. “The suspect has NOT been apprehended,” the U.S. president said.

Colombia says it would not reject Maduro asylum request as regional tensions escalate
The Colombian government stated on Thursday that it would have no reason to reject a potential asylum request from Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro should he leave office, as regional tensions persist over the deployment of U.S. military forces in the Caribbean since August.
“In the current climate of tension, negotiations are necessary, and if the United States demands a transition or political change, that is something to be assessed. If such a transition results in him (Maduro) needing to live elsewhere or seek protection, Colombia would have no reason to deny it,” said Colombian Foreign Minister Rosa Villavicencio in an interview with Caracol Radio.
However, Villavicencio noted that it is unlikely Maduro would choose Colombia as a refuge. “I believe he would opt for someplace more distant and calmer,” she added.
Colombian President Gustavo Petro also commented on Venezuela’s situation on Wednesday, arguing that the country needs a “democratic revolution” rather than “inefficient repression.” His remarks followed the recent detention and passport cancellation of Cardinal Baltazar Porras at the Caracas airport.
“The Maduro government must understand that responding to external aggression requires more than military preparations; it requires a democratic revolution. A country is defended with more democracy, not more inefficient repression,” Petro wrote on X (formerly Twitter), in a rare public criticism of the Venezuelan leader.
Petro also called for a general amnesty for political opponents and reiterated his call for forming a broad transitional government to address Venezuela’s prolonged crisis.
Since September, U.S. military forces have destroyed more than 20 vessels allegedly carrying drugs in Caribbean and Pacific waters near Venezuela and Colombia, resulting in over 80 deaths.
U.S. President Donald Trump has repeatedly warned that attacks “inside Venezuela” will begin “soon,” while Maduro has urged Venezuelans to prepare for what he describes as an impending external aggression.
