Chapter 250: Embarrassment at the United Nations Meeting
The fourth update
The General Assembly of the United Nations generally holds its regular sessions from September to December each year, and meets thereafter as needed. The Secretary-General may also convene a special session within 15 days after receiving a request from a majority of the Members of the Security Council or the United Nations, or notification by a majority of the Member States in favour of the meeting.
Of course, the convening of this special session of the United Nations is about the follow-up to the signing of the "Chemical Weapons Convention," and under the back-office operation of the five permanent members of the United Nations, this convention is much more cautious than any previous one. Because the permanent members are prepared to make this treaty not applicable to their own countries in certain special circumstances, in other words, the five permanent members have special immunity to the chemical treaty.
What if there was an ambiguity between a country and a permanent member of the United Nations? Sorry, do you know South Africa? The last time this country tried to get nuclear weapons is now, it has been suspended from the UN General Assembly for almost 23 years. No one denies the supremacy of the permanent members of the United Nations, because those who deny it eventually disappear.
Of course, at the beginning of the meeting, the representatives of each country took the stage to make a statement about the chemical weapons destruction treaty, but everyone knows that this is just a process, and the political conspirators at the negotiating table have already divided their cake. Small countries can't intervene and can't oppose it.
The U.S. was represented by Secretary of State Warren, who represented the image of the U.S. government diplomatically. And the representative of the Soviet side was Foreign Minister Shevardnadze, who represented the will of Moscow. They are more aware that the top leaders of the two countries have reached an agreement, and that is what matters. The General Assembly is a mere superficial formality. Only the deals behind the Big Five are truly in control.
The tables at the United Nations General Assembly were already filled with delegates from all countries. They are all waiting for the US side to speak first. Some representatives whispered at the table. There is an unconcealed disappointment on their faces, presumably the same countries that have been victims of the convention, but they are also resentful of the political dealings between the United States and the Soviet Union. Why should you do whatever you want, and don't allow us to defend ourselves with weapons?
Warren walked up to the stage with steady steps and took out the manuscript that he had been preparing for a long time. This was originally a speech with no technical content, so he also seemed to be a little careless in reading the manuscript on the manuscript.
"I am very grateful to be able to stand here and make my own contribution to the destruction of chemical weapons. Since the advent of chemical weapons, the casualties caused by it have been innumerable. From Germany to Japan, the fascists of those years made terrible weapons of murder, and they were also punished with justice. ”
"Here today, we will work together to destroy chemical weapons that endanger human security and threaten the living environment. At this point, the United States declares and assures the world that we will destroy our chemical weapons stockpiles in strict accordance with the plan. The tragic events of the First World War will never be repeated. ”
Speaking of this, Warren changed his tune and began to whitewash and justify the fact that the United States did not completely destroy chemical weapons, "Of course the United States is a responsible country. Caution about chemical weapons is also understandable. We are not stockpiling a batch of chemical weapons because we want to use them. It's about using it to better study the damage caused to us by chemical weapons, and to come up with an antidote. It's not what everyone thinks. The United States is a hegemonic country, and everything they do is for themselves and the like. Free America loves peace and kindness. ”
The United States began to call itself the messenger of justice and goodness, which simply made Saddam Hussein cry in the toilet, and you have ever seen a guy who claims to be just and equal to be so vicious.
"Please believe us, give us some more time, and the United States will definitely properly deal with all chemical weapons, so that the world will no longer have the terrible threat of chemical weapons."
Hearing this, Shevardnadze almost laughed out loud, and the Americans said that they are not a hegemonic country just as ridiculous as President Bush could get the Nobel Peace Street. Of course, those small countries dare not speak out, and any refutation will be futile in the face of the P5 that does not play their cards according to reason.
When Warren finished speaking, the audience burst into sparse and mechanical applause, and everyone expressed dissatisfaction with Warren's speech, especially Libyan President Muammar Gaddafi, who showed uncharacteristically indifference and indifference when others applauded, completely forgetting that he still needs to live by relying on others.
By the time Shevardnadze took the stage, the scene had fallen silent, and everyone was no longer thinking about the hypocritical performance of these UN hooligans. Anyway, this so-called statement is just a formality. Shevardnadze walked to the podium, and before he could produce his script, one of the delegates in the audience suddenly stood up.
If the vast majority of people wear suits on formal occasions, Gaddafi is definitely the most maverick one. Dressed in Libyan national service, Shevardnadze suddenly stood up and confronted him as he was about to speak.
"May I ask if all the chemical weapons on the Soviet side have been destroyed? Not to mention that your reply is the same as that of the United States, we need to find a solution to mass destruction through chemical weapons. "Gaddafi is clearly a little unhappy with the still somewhat young and unpresentable minister Shevardnadze.
"No, the stocks we left behind can be used on the enemies of the USSR, especially those who offend the dignity of the USSR, and then we will talk about the destruction of weapons of mass destruction." Shevardnadze unceremoniously retorted. Also use a kind of subtext to tell Gaddafi that you are not qualified to dictate the political problems of the Soviet Union.
Seeing that Gaddafi smiled coldly, took out a document from his arms, he stood up and held it high, and said to the delegates around him, "My friends, this is the evidence that the Soviet Union violated the Chemical Weapons Destruction Treaty, and they sold a considerable part of the chemical weapons that should have been destroyed to the Saddam regime. ”
As soon as these words came out, the audience fell silent.
Shevardnadze and Warren's faces turned a little pale, and the latter turned his head stiffly and stared at the former, who was trying to keep his composure, with an incredulous gaze, as if to question why the other had become like this.
Gaddafi beamed with pride, and he felt that he had done the right thing, which was to disgrace the Soviet Union in public. (To be continued.) )
