Summary
Core Theme
The speech argues that historical and contemporary global systems, including those established by the League of Nations and the United Nations, have failed to achieve peace and prosperity due to underlying structures of domination, plunder, and injustice, particularly evident in economic disparities and the exploitation of underdeveloped nations.
I now give the floor to his excellency
Osman Sali Moad, Minister for Foreign
Good morning
your Excellency Miss Analina Borbach,
President of the ETH session of the
United Nation General Assembly.
Your Excellency
Antonio Gutirez, Secretary General of
the United Nation.
Honorable heads of delegation,
distinguished delegates, ladies and gentlemen,
gentlemen,
Madame President,
allow me to join previous speakers to
congratulate your excellency for your election

to the presidency of the 8th session of
the United Nations General Assembly.
During the 79th session of the United
Nations assemb last year, I had briefly
reflected as a backdrop and for purposes
of historical reference to dwell on
humanity's collective trajectory in the
past 100 years.
In this regard, the defining features of
this century can be summed up by failure
of the League of Nations
established in the aftermath of the
First World War to guarantee the lofty
objectives of peace, economic growth and
prosperity for humanity as a whole.
Opportunities lost even after the United
Nation was subsequently formed in 1945
and until the end of the cold war and reckless

and dangerous trends set in motion in
the prevalent unipolar world order in
the last 30 years. As we all agree, the
League of Nations and the United Nation
were originally conceived as viable
architectures of global governance to
advance the pronounced lofty objectives
that we all cherish.
In this respect and at a time when
humanity is aspiring for a transition
from the old defunct global order to a
new one, the overarching quest must
revolve around finding outside
tangential ideological agreements
in solutions to fundamental and
outstanding problems that our global
community continues to grapple with.
Economic injustice has remained the
primary challenge for mankind and all
the peoples as a whole since ancient
times. From primitive social systems to
the op to the epox of slavery and colonization

all the way until our contemporary times
in a developed 21st century.
The p the prenal challenges stem from
modalities of wealth creation and
accumulation and notably in relation to
wealths and income sharing.
The fact is past and present global
systems are broadly rooted on monopoly

military power that is garnered and
military assaults unleashed are indeed
mere tools of domination and plunder.
Similarly, various economic and
financial architectures are essentially

Policies formulated and operations

influence are likewise sheer means of

Tools of propaganda and deception are
weaponized for similar objectives.
Ladies and gentlemen, in the event the
cardinal challenge is how to bring about
a new global order that promotes justice
and fairness to supplant prevailing
global governance.

But what is extremely preoccupying
is the appalling economic situation in

Why was mankind's mission in the new
century unsuccessful?
The cherished mission does not contain
novel and sophisticated inventions or
ideological and philosophical
dimensions. The values of the missions
invoked and that underpinned the
struggle during the epochs of slavery

so-called new 20th century. The
