She warned that the truth, confidence and equity were crashed under the weight of war, inequality and climate crisis.
“Countries of different sizes, capacities and cultures can only survive in the world in which we live if we maintain a system based on rules,” said Mister Mottley in her address to the United Nations General Assembly.
“The jungle law does not guarantee any of us a future or a habitable planet.”
She said that the “crisis of truth” undermines the institutions which once favored order and prosperity, eroding confidence between citizens and governments, and transforming news, science and the law in Tawdry.
“When we lose the shared truth, our countries and our global society lose their center of gravity,” she warned.
Conflicts and crisis
Regarding the proliferation of war, Prime Minister Mottley reiterated the need for peace in Ukraine, but also pressed governments not to ignore suffering elsewhere.
“The world should not ignore the horror in Sudan and … he must not ignore the horror in Gaza,” she said. She called for the release of hostages, while denouncing disproportionate attacks against the Palestinians.
She highlighted the need for urgent humanitarian funding, saying that $ 66 million was necessary for Gaza children and $ 200 million for Sudan in the next three months – largely for food, water and health.
Climate change
On climate change, Ms. Mottley urged managers to act with honesty and emergency.
She praised the opinions of the International Court affirming the obligations of the States to limit emissions and proposed a compulsory global framework on methane to slow down the increase in temperature.
“The fossil fuels industry is not the enemy-it is the emissions,” she said, urging the political desire to unlock $ 1.3 billion of dollars per year by 2035 to finance the green transition.
The Barbadian leader criticized the chronic under-funding of climate financing and the loss and damage fund “roughly undercapitalized”.
Met Mottley also linked the climate and development program to the central issue of global governance. She warned that debates may become “performative exercises” unless resources and a functional system rooted in equity.
“If we have to be protected by a rules based on rules, we have to go to the plate and provide funds to fill the gap to provide the results we want,” she said.
Ms. Mottley also discussed the UN reform, insisting Security advice must reflect the multipolar world today.
“You cannot really ask us to introduce yourself for family photos and votes when you need it, then exclude us from the decision -making of the family. As if you were adults and we are the children. »»
The message of a Palestinian girl
Prime Minister Mottley ended with the image of a young Palestinian aged six or seven seven, walking through the rubble in Gaza with hollow eyes and her sister on his shoulders.
“It was clear that she was suffering a lot, but she admitted that it was she who should bring the burden to put them in safety,” she said.
Calling the scene “the ultimate image of hope and resilience”, Ms. Mottley urged managers to draw the strength.
“If a six -year -old child can go beyond physical and emotional pain and always find hope that there is a better time in front of her, then we, with much more and with an obligation towards many others, must invoke this same will. The world needs more than ever. »»
