Higgins warns UN under attack in keynote address in New York

and its agencies are under attack, as he defended the principle of multilateralism in a speech to the United Nations General Assembly.

Outlining Ireland’s commitment to the United Nations, he said that the organisation had anchored Ireland’s foreign policy, describing the UN as a “special institution where newly free nations found a home after their struggles for independence, their emergence from the shadows, legacies and distortions of imperialism.”

Mr Higgins’s speech was the centrepiece of his visit to New York this week, a key part of Ireland’s bid to secure a seat on the UN Security Council in 2021 and 2022. “We have a deep sense, from our own experiences, of the centrality of national identity and a sense of belonging, and how this persists through decades and centuries,” he said, noting that peace processes needed to find a way for different identities and narratives to co-exist and no longer have to compete in a “zero-sum game.”had a “good case to make” for securing a seat on the UN Security Council in 2021 and 2022.

Ireland is under attack, population replacement, disregard for history in school, abortion, 2040 Plan, passport giveaway Treason on a scale never imagined, committed by a centre right conservative party with the support of the opposition and a compliant media. A Coup has occurred

Says the socialist Gobshite😂
