Hands Off Venezuela: Historic Stance at the United Nations against US Imperialism
their determination to protect the UN Charter and International Law, and holding sacrosanct the sovereignty and inviolability of each member state.
All these present, and approximately 50 more aligned, are states whose combined populations comprise more than half the people of the world, and all have been victimized and pauperized by the predations of neoliberal capitalist states bleeding the wealth of their peoples.
As Venezuelan Foreign Minister Jorge Arreaza read out their new statement, declaring the illegality of unilateral coercive economic sanctions, and territorial invasions, it became obvious that the power of this new solidarity, which includes China, Russia, Cuba, DPRK, Syria, Iran, Palestine, Nicaragua, Venezuela, etc. constitutes a formidable force which Western capitalism will antagonize at its own peril. This is a long overdue counterforce to Western domination of the United Nations, a domination based on money, on the large payments enabling the US and other capitalist powers to bribe, threaten and otherwise control the direction of the UN, and distort and destroy the independence, impartiality and integrity which the UN requires in order to maintain its legitimacy, and implement the sustained global peace and justice for which Franklin Delano Roosevelt created it.
Ambassadors at the UN
Since the collapse of the USSR it has become blatantly clear at the
UN (and virtually everywhere else) that money talks – indeed money
shrieks . It therefore now seems obvious that the combined UN dues of
these newly affiliated nations probably exceeds the contributions of the
United States to the United Nations, and, if skillfully managed, this
new organization of hitherto ravaged states will now have the power to
threaten to withhold their combined dues, threatening a strike would
could paralyze the United Nations unless their own interests, and not
solely the interest of the United States and Saudi Arabia, are
respected, and their own voices honored. There is incessant talk of the
need for reform of the United Nations. It is probable that this new
organization within the UN is the reform that is necessary – indeed
inevitable.*
