“No power at all.” That’s the candid answer from UN head @antonioguterres on what power he really has. “No power & there’s no money. What we have is a voice… I have the obligation to make it loud… We have a level of division among superpowers that has no precedent since WWII.” pic.twitter.com/9ceJBatrdQ

The Hill: UN chief says he has ‘no power at all’ ahead of annual meeting
United Nations Secretary General António Guterres said he has “no power at all,” ahead of the U.N.’s General Assembly yearly meeting.
When asked in an interview with CNN about the executive power he holds in the meeting, Guterres said, “No power at all.”
“The secretary of the United Nations has no power and there’s no money,” Guterres continued. “What we have is a voice and that voice can be loud and I have the obligation to make it be loud.”

ReplyDeleteThis amanpour... absolute retard and no accomplishment in her entire career.. she never held the powerful to account, she is CNN quality lol
ReplyDeleteAntonio Guterres, his divine predecessor, and his future anointed successors have always been like transgendered men competing in women's sports.
ReplyDeleteTo make the United Nations Secretary General a person from some non-security council nation is kabuki theatre. Maybe the Iraqi model would be better, a Shia PM and a Sunni second. It did not work out so well for Iraq, but it would be more honest.
Also, the UN HQ should not be in Turtle Bay but on some island in the middle of the Atlantic or Pacific. Call it New Trantor (Building out that much office space and all the support might give it the look). Take the UN out of Switzerland and Austria and try to put as much of it on an island in an ocean opposite of the HQ.
I bet Putin would show up warrant or no warrant. He could park a fleet over the horizon ready to come over it if anything happened. The real world leaders could always meet. JoJo is merely playing dress up.
Providing the logistics for said islands, not having the luxury of diplomatic immunity over the locals, and perhaps the boredom of island life, might focus these ne'er-do wells.
There would still be spying. There will still be corruption, but would it tighten that up a little and make them focus?
We know how to fix things and they do not. That is why we have top jobs and positions and they are underlings.
