Argentina’s Milei tells UN the ‘sacred covenant’ is broken

Argentine President Javier Milei told the UN General Assembly on Wednesday that the organization has broken its founding "sacred covenant," calling it a "useless organization" that failed its core mission while overstepping its mandate. Milei accused the UN of allowing chaos and terrorism to flourish, sheltering dictatorships, and ignoring the Falkland Islands dispute despite a 50-year-old resolution, while criticizing forced pandemic lockdowns as "social control disguised as science." He also announced Argentina's commitment to avoid pre-emptive AI regulation, touted its alignment with the West and Israel, and vowed continued multilateral participation without "confusing cooperation with subordination."
