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.

Kristi Noem credits Trump for mass migrant deportations by mexican president
U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem claimed that Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has deported “more than half a million” migrants due to pressure from former President Donald Trump.
During a cabinet meeting highlighting the “achievements” of Trump’s administration in its first 100 days, Noem asserted that under the Republican leader’s influence, “Mexico has finally come to the table” to negotiate on migration and fentanyl trafficking.
“The president of Mexico told me she has returned just over half a million people before they reached our border,” Noem stated, criticizing media reports that suggest the Biden administration deported more migrants than Trump’s.
“I wish those deportations were counted,” Noem added, “because those people never made it to our border—she sent them back because you made her.” She went on to thank Trump: “They never made it here because they got the message—because you were so aggressive.”
Noem has made controversial claims about Sheinbaum in the past, prompting the Mexican leader to refute them.
On April 1, Sheinbaum responded to one such statement by declaring, “The president answers to only one authority, and that is the people of Mexico,” after Noem said on Fox News that she gave Sheinbaum “a list of things Trump would like to see” and that Mexico’s actions would determine whether Trump granted tariff relief.

Vatican releases special “Sede Vacante” stamps ahead of papal transition
he Vatican’s post offices and select collector shops began selling special edition stamps this week to mark the period between the death of Pope Francis and the election of his successor.
Known as “Sede Vacante” stamps, they feature an image used on official Vatican documents during the interregnum between popes — two crossed keys without the papal tiara. These stamps went on sale Monday and will remain valid for postal use only until the new pontiff appears at the window overlooking St. Peter’s Square.
Until then, they can be used to send letters, postcards, and parcels. “Once the new pope is elected, the stamps lose their postal validity, but their collectible value rises,” said Francesco Santarossa, who runs a collectors’ shop across from St. Peter’s Square.
The Vatican has issued the stamps in four denominations: €1.25, €1.30, €2.45, and €3.20. Each is inscribed with “Città del Vaticano” and “Sede Vacante MMXXV” — Latin for “Vacant See 2025.”

Conclave to choose pope Francis’ successor could begin in early may
The conclave, which in the coming weeks must choose the successor to Pope Francis, will strictly follow a precise protocol refined over centuries.
The 135 cardinal electors, all under the age of 80, will cast their votes four times a day — except on the first day — until one candidate secures a two-thirds majority. The result will be announced to the world through the burning of the ballots with a chemical that produces the eagerly awaited white smoke, accompanied by the traditional cry of “Habemus Papam.”
The start date for the conclave could be announced today, as the cardinals are set to hold their fifth meeting since the pope’s passing. Luxembourg Cardinal Jean-Claude Hollerich suggested it could begin on May 5 or 6, following the traditional nine days of mourning. According to German Cardinal Reinhard Marx, the conclave could last only “a few days.”
Although the late Argentine pontiff appointed the majority of the cardinal electors, this does not necessarily ensure the selection of a like-minded successor. Francis’ leadership style differed significantly from that of his predecessor, Benedict XVI, a German theologian who was less fond of large public gatherings. It also marked a contrast with the popular Polish pope, John Paul II.
The Argentine Jesuit’s reformist papacy drew strong criticism from more conservative sectors of the Church, who are hoping for a doctrinally focused shift. His tenure was marked by efforts to combat clerical sexual abuse, elevate the role of women and laypeople, and advocate for the poor and migrants, among other causes.
