thank the president of the kgis

Republic the assembly will hear an

addressed by his Excellency Javier

Gerardo milai president of the Argentine

Republic I request protocol to escort

his Excellency and invite him to address

the assembly

[Music]

to the authorities of the United Nations

representatives of the various

countries member countries and all of

the citizens of the world that are

watching us good

afternoon for those of you who are not

aware I'm not a politician I'm an

economist I'm a liberal libertarian

Economist who never aimed to be a

politician but was who was honored to

become the president of the Republic of

Argentina following the resounding

failure of More Than A Century of

collectivist policies that destroyed our

country this is my first speech to the

United Nations General Assembly and I'd

like to take this opportunity to humbly

alert the different nations of the world

around about the path that we are moving

down and have been for decades and about

the danger that this of this

organization failing as it has been

doing in its original Mission I haven't

come here to tell the world what it

should be doing I've come here to tell

the world on the one hand what will

happen if the United Nations continues

to promote collectivist policies that

it's been promoting under the mantle of

the 2030 agenda and on the other hand

the values of the new

Argentina I want to begin by giving

credit where credit's due the United

Nations was born out of the horror of

the

cruestv its fundamental principles in

the Universal Declaration of Human

Rights from that was born a basic

agreement around one Maxim that all

human beings are born free and equal in

dignity and

rights under the watch of this

organization the adoption of this and

the adoption of these ideas over the

last 70 years Humanity has experienced

the longest period of Global Peace in

history which has coincided with the

greatest period of economic growth in

history it established an international

Forum in which nations can resolve their

conflicts through cooperation rather

than resorting instantaneously to

weapons and it achieved something

previously Unthinkable to sit the five

Great powers of the world around one

same table with the same veto power

despite having completely counterposed

interests all of this didn't mean that

the scourge of War disappeared but it

did at least for now ensure that no

conflict has escalated to Global

proportions the result was that we moved

from having two world wars in less than

40 years which together claimed more

than 120 million lives to having 70

consecutive years of relative Global

Peace and security and stability under

the mantle of an order which allowed the

entire world to be integrated

commercially to compete and to prosper

because where trade

enters we don't

have bullets said bastia because trade

guarantees peace peace guarantees and

freedom guarantees trade equality and

equality before the law guarantees

freedom it managed to ensure what

prophet Isaiah said that he will judge

between the Nations and will settle

disputes for many peoples they will beat

their swords into plowshares and their

Spears into pring hooks Nation will not

take up sword against Nation nor they

will they train for war anymore this is

what's happened M mainly under the watch

of the United Nations in its first few

decades that's why we're talking about

an outstanding success in the history of

Nations that has been achieved by the

United Nations and it cannot be

overlooked now at sometime and as often

happens with the majority of

bureaucratic structures that are created

by men this organ organization stopped

looking after its main aims set out in

its founding declaration and started to

change this was an organization that had

essentially been thought up uh as a

shield to protect the reign of men to

and became a leviathan with various

tentacles purporting to decide not only

what not only what each nation state

should do but also how all the citizens

in the world should live that's how we

moved from being an organization that

pursued peace to an organization that

imposed is an IDE an ideology on its

members about an endless list of topics

in society the model of the United

Nations that had been successful the

origin of which we can me see in the

ideas of President Wilson who talked

about the need for peace without victory

and that was founded out of cooperation

from nation states has been abandoned

it's been replaced by a model of

supernational government of

international bureaucrats that attempt

to impose on citizens of the world a

specific way of living what we're

discussing in New York this week at the

summit of the future is nothing more

than going further down this tragic path

the tragic path that this institution

has adopted furthering down going

further down this

path uh which in the very words of the

Secretary General calls on us to define

a new social contract redoubling our

commitments in the 2030 agenda on this

I'd like to be clear about Argentina's

position the 2030 agenda although it's

well intentioned in its goals is nothing

but a supranational government program

that is socialist in shape it purports

to resolve the problems of modernity

with solutions that afflict the

sovereignty of nation states and violate

the right to life right to freedom and

property of persons it's an agenda that

purports to resolve poverty inequality

discrimination with legislation that

simply furthers these issues because the

history of the world has shown that the

only way of guaranteeing Prosperity is

by limiting

the power of the Monarch by guaranteeing

equality before the law def defending

the right to life to freedom and to the

ownership and property of individuals

the adoption of this agenda is fully in

line with these uh privileged interests

and uh looks beyond the principles that

were set out in the Universal

Declaration of Human

Rights has it has therefore Twisted the

role of this organization and set it on

the wrong course we've seen how an

organization that was born to defend the

rights of man has become one of the main

proponents of systematic violations of

Freedom uh such as for instance uh the

lockdowns imposed in 2020 which should

be compos seen as

a uh a crime against humanity in this

same CA house we that supports to defend

human rights we have also uh included

bloody dictatorships in the human Rights

Council including Cuba and Venezuela

without reproach in this same house

which purports to defend the rights of

women we've allowed on seedor the seedor

committee uh countries that punish their

women just for showing their skin in

this same house that have voted against

the state of Israel which is the only

country in the Middle East to defend uh

a liberal democracy we have

simultaneously uh shown a total

inability to respond to the scourge of

terrorism on the economic level we have

promoted collectivist policies that

undermine economic growth violate

property rights and disrupt a natural

economic process in preventing the the

most Left Behind countries to freely

enjoy their own

resources they have imposed regulations

and prohibitions specifically

uh because of countries that wish to

develop themselves we have further

established toxic relationship ship

between Global governance and

international credit bodies demanding

that those countries that are most Left

Behind commit resources that they don't

have to programs that they don't need

becoming them Perpetual making them

Perpetual

debtors we have also seen ridiculous

policies uh with malthusian uh stances

such as policies zero emissions policies

that harm all poor countries policies

related to sexual and Reproductive

Rights when birth rates in Western

countries are plummeting announcing a

somber future for all of us the

organization has uh met its mission of

upholding territorial sovereignty of its

uh members as we know the Argent 's have

firsthand experience of this with the

malvinas islands we have also seen that

the veto of the permanent members of the

security Council has begun to be used in

the defense of the specific interests of

a certain few that's where we are today

with a powerless organization powerless

to provide solutions to the true Global

conflicts uh for instance the Aber

barent Russian invasion of Ukraine which

has costed the lives of more than

300,000 people and uh Left Behind more

than 1 million wounded this is an

organization that rather than tackling

these conflicts invest time and effort

in imposing on poor countries how they

should and how much they should produce

who they should do relations with how

what they should eat what they should

believe in um as The Pact for the future

purports to dictate this long list of

errors and contradictions uh has led to

a loss of credibility for the United

Nations before the citizens of the Free

World I'd like to issue a warning here

we are coming to the end of a cycle

collectivism and the moral posturing and

the woker agenda

has is coming up against reality there

are no further credible solutions to the

real problems of the world if the 2030

agenda fails as recognized by its own

promoters the response should should be

to wonder whether or not this was uh an

ill-conceived program from the out from

the outset we should accept this reality

and change what we're

doing the same thing always happens with

ideas that come from the left is

designing a model in line with what

human beings should do and when

individuals freely decide to act

otherwise they have no better solution

than to restrict repress or cut off

their freedom in Argentina we've seen

with our own eyes what they have done at

the end of this uh path of envy and sad

passion poverty uh Anarchy and a total

lack of

Liberty we still have time to choose

another Direction I want to be clear

that so that there's no poor

misunderstanding here Argentina there's

living a going through a profound

process of change currently has decided

to embrace the ideas of Freedom these

are ideas that say that all citizens are

born free and equal before the law that

we have inalienable rights granted by

our creator uh to life to freedom and to

property these principles that are

setting the framework of of the process

of change that we're undertaking in

Argentina are also the principles that

will guide our International conduct

from now on we believe in the defense of

life for all we believe in the defense

of property for all we believe in

freedom of expression for

all we believe in freedom of worship for

all we believe in Freedom of trade for

all and we believe in limited

governments

all and in these times what happens in

one country has a swift impact on others

and we believe that peoples should be

able to live free of tyranny and

oppression be it political oppression

economic slavery or religious fanaticism

this fundamental idea shouldn't be mere

words it should be supported by our acts

diplomatically economically and

materially through the Joint Force of

all of the countries that stand up for

Freedom this doctrine of the new AR

artina is no more and no less than the

true essence of the United Nations that

is the cooperation of Nations United in

the defense of Freedom if the United

Nations wants to resume the principles

that led to its birth and adopt the role

for which it was designed it can count

on the full support of Argentina and its

struggle for Freedom you should be aware

though that Argentina will not support

any policy that implies restricting

individual or trade freedoms nor the

violation of the natural rights of

individuals regardless of who promotes

these or how big the consensus is in

this institution for this reason I'd

like to officially express our dissent

on The Pact for the future that was

signed on Sunday and I invite all

nations of the Free World to support us

not only in uh this on in relation to

this pack but also in the establishment

of a new agenda for this Noble

institution that is the agenda for

freedom from this day on you should know

that Argentina the Republic of Argentina

will abandon its policy of historic neut

neutrality and will be on the Vanguard

strug in the struggle for the defense of

freedom because as Thomas Payne said

those who expect to reap the blessings

of Freedom must like men undergo the

fatigue of supporting

it Long Live freedom God damn it thank

you very

much on behalf of the assembly I wish to

thank the president of the Argentine

Republic the assembly will hear an

address by his Excellency na arando bu

president of the Republic of El Salvador

I request protocol to escort his

Excellency and invite him to address the

assembly
