UNGA Shows Developing Nations Tired of Western Hegemony: Syrian Foreign Ministry
UNITED NATIONS (Sputnik) Lenka White – From September 19 to 26, New York hosted the 78th session of the United Nations General Assembly. During the event, political leaders from around the world gathered to discuss global issues, including multipolarity.
The speeches from developing countries during the 78th session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) have demonstrated that the majority of them are getting tired of the Western hegemony, Syrian Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs Bassam Sabbagh told Sputnik.
"This year's General Assembly was very important because we noticed from the leaders' speeches that most developing countries are tired of Western hegemony," Sabbagh said in an interview. "Developing countries are now looking for multipolar leadership. This polarization by the Americans is no longer accepted."
According to the Vice
Minister, the process towards reaching a multipolar world order has begun and there is no way back from that.
"What is good is that it [the process towards a multipolar world] has already started, so we are on that track. Things will take time, I am sure, but I don't see a possibility for any reverse," Sabbagh said.
He noted that the United Nations Security Council does not reflect the geopolitical composition of today's world and developing countries also need to be represented.
"The issue of Security Council reform was also widely mentioned in the leaders' speeches and I think this is very important because the realities of today's international relations are not properly reflected in the Security Council," Sabbagh said. "We need to see this expansion of the Security Council in a way that reflects today's reality, and also for developing countries to play an important role in this."
Additionally, he recalled that unilateral
sanctions against Syria are inhuman, immoral and require unconditional lifting.
"This [unilateral sanctions] is inhuman, this is immoral. We also have, we all have a responsibility to call for the immediate unconditional lifting of the sanctions," Sabbagh said. "And I think all of what they claim that the sanction has no impact on the humanitarian situation is false and unfounded."
The main topic of the 78th session of the UNGA was "Rebuilding Trust and Reigniting Global Solidarity: Accelerating Action on the 2030 Agenda and its Sustainable Development Goals Towards Peace, Prosperity, Progress, and Sustainability for All."
