Acting on the recommendations of its Second Committee (Economic and Financial) and Third Committee (Social, Humanitarian and Cultural), the General Assembly today adopted a total of 99 resolutions and 3 decisions on items ranging from permanent sovereignty of the Palestinian people and eradicating poverty to combating glorification of Nazism and plight of refugees.
I don’t really understand, what measures are okay to use? We certainly want to be coercing developing countries to respect rule of law, have free and fair elections, not committing human rights violations, and economic measures seem to be the most effective, nonviolent way to achieve the desired changes. Is the change just that multiple countries must now agree to a sanctioning action, rather than allowing just one country to impose sanctions? If so, certainly understandable why the superpowers dissented.
no State may use or encourage the use of unilateral economic, political or any other type of measures to coerce another State in order to obtain from it the subordination of the exercise of its sovereign rights”
Nope, it’s just stupid. Imagine saying it’s wrong to stop trading with a genocidal dictatorship because their economy is developing.
The idea of people boycotting Apartheid South Africa was probably horrible to the U.N.
Bro nobody has ever stopped trade with countries with genocidal dictators. Some countries use that as a reason to stop trading when the trade becomes unfavorable for them, but thats never the real reason.
