US always manipulated UN to carry out its foreign policy goals: Analyst
Political commentator Charles Dunaway
The United States has always treated the United Nations with “contempt” and “manipulated” the international organization to “carry out its foreign policy goals,” says a political commentator.
Charles Dunaway made the remarks in an interview with Press TV when asked about the US’ move to block a vote on a UN’s bid for a global ceasefire during the coronavirus pandemic over reference to the World Health Organization (WHO).
The Security Council has spent more than six weeks seeking the resolution in support of UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres’ call for a global ceasefire so that the world could focus on fighting the deadly virus.
The United States has refused to endorse the resolution over its mentioning of the WHO and urging support for the UN health agency’s operations during the pandemic.
On Thursday night, the French diplomats thought they had engineered a compromise in which the resolution would mention UN “specialized health agencies” –an indirect, if clear, reference to the WHO — which appeared to have the support of the US mission.
But on Friday morning, the US switched its position and “broke silence” on the resolution, raising objection to the phrase “specialist health agencies”, and blocking movement towards a vote.
Dunaway said that “this is not really new. From the beginning, the US has manipulated the United Nations to carry out its foreign policy goals.”
He went on to say “the arrogance of the United States has made a mockery of its claim to be working for peace and security.
“And now with the election of Donald Trump, the gloves are off, the pretense is gone.”
“The contempt with which the US views the United Nations in international law is no longer disguised. There is no longer any point in negotiating with the United States since it is incapable of keeping its word and has no respect for international law or norms or institutions.”
