Phase this, this should we stand helplessly by and watch as some seek to cast us back into a global order, in which war is common instrument of politics, in which independent nations have to submit to their stronger neighbors all the colonial masters, in which prosperity and human rights or privilege of the lucky few or will be managed to stand together in, in sure, that the multi polar world of the 21st century remains a multilateral world. My answer as a german and the european is this. We have to manage this and we will manage face if we take 3 fundamental principles to heart. Firstly, the International Order does not happen by itself. If we do nothing, then this charter is but a piece of paper, this charter calls and all of us to uphold its purposes and principles. And we must stand id by when a Major Nuclear power armed to the teeth, a Founding Member of the United Nations and a permanent member of the un Security Council, no less seeks to shift borders through the use of violence. There is no justification whatsoever for russias warf occupation against ukraine. President putin, his waging this war with one single objective to seize ukraine. Self determination, political independence, do not count for him. And thats only one word fis. This is imperialism plain and simple. The return of imperialism is not only a disaster for europe. It is also disaster, far global peaceful order, which is the antithesis of imperialism and neo colonialism. And that is why it was so important that here in this room, 141 countries categorically condemned russias war for occupation. But that alone is not enough. If we want this war to end, then we cannot be indifferent to how it ends put in will only give up his full and his imperialist ambitions. If he realizes that he cannot win and so doing, his isnt just destroying ukraine, but hes also ruining his own country. This is why we will not accept a peas dictated by russia. This is why we will not accept any potential for a friend, and this is why ukraine must be able to defend itself against russias invasion. We supporting ukraine with all our might financially economically with human, sharon assistant and also with weapons together with our partners around the world. We have imposed tough economic sanctions on the russian leadership and russia economy. And this is how were making good on a promise that each and every of our country is made when joining the United Nations, namely, to join forces to maintain International Peace and security. Theres one more thing that i would like to add, which is not that not ones sac of grain has been held back on account of these sanctions. Russia alone has prevented ukrainian grain shapes from putting out to sea, forming ports and destroying agricultural enterprises. Where hunger prevails, there can be no peace. My predecessor noble pies, peace prize, winner valley bronze said this when he addressed this assembly as the 1st federal chancellor to do so. In 1973 to day were witnessing that this sentence also works the other way around. Those who want there to be no hunger must ensure that put in swore, does not prevail this fall, which even in countries far away from russia, is leading to raising prices, energy scarcity, and famine. The fact that quain exports have been made possible once again, thanks to the mediation efforts of secretary general good terror ocean. Turkey deserves great respect. Germany is also supporting ukraine with the export of food. And we will stand by ukraine when it comes to showering the enormous cost for rebuilding the country. At an international conference, effects foods which i am hosting with the president of the European Commission in berlin. On october 25th, we will, together with supporters of ukraine from all around the world. Think about how we can manage this herculean task. Ill message his fis. We stand firmly at the sight of those under attack. For the protection of the lice and the freedom of the ukrainians, and for the protection of our International Order. Ladies and gentlemen, the 2nd principle for preserving this order is as follows. All of us will be judged against the obligations that we have jointly entered into responsibility always begins at home, take Climate Change for example, which is the biggest challenge of our generation. We, the industrialized countries and major emitters of Greenhouse Gases have a very special responsibility here. And it was with this, with this in mind that we reiterated our intention at the t 7 summit in germany in june to forge ahead in order to achieve the 1. 5 degree target. Not in spite of the war and the energy crisis, but precisely because climate neutrality also leads to Greater Energy security. We stand by our pledge is to support emerging economies and developing countries in their efforts to reduce emissions and to adapt to Climate Change with you Just Energy Transition partnerships for example. And we will not abandon the come traces that are struggling the most in the face. Of loss and damage as a result of Climate Change. By the time of the Climate Change conference in egypt, therefore, we want to establish a global shield against climate wrists. Our yardstick must be the obligations that we have entered into knew. Where does this inside she more obvious to me than in the protection of human rights, because they reflect the deepest need of each and every one of us to live our lives in freedom, unharmed and indignity. This lies at the heart of what makes us humans who we are at what we have in common, no matter where we come from, no matter what we believe, no matter who we love. And i tell you this with the history of my country in mind. Germany which betrayed all civilized, found use with the murderous 6000000 jews. An act that is without parallel is aware of just how franchise our civilization is. Under the same time we have an obligation to respect. Im to defend human rights at all times. And in all places, my country is the 2nd biggest, dont i to the u. N. System. And also the 2nd biggest donor of humanitarian assistance we have taken in millions of refugees here in germany in recent years. And the middle east africa have gone this town and most recently from ukraine. And this is something we are proud of, blah, blah. But we also have to pay heed and take out and where hundreds of thousands are made to endure suffering. Tyranny and torture in prison comes the jails in north korea, syria, iran, or bella roost. We must pay heed and take action when the taliban deprived women and girls in afghanistan of their most basic rights. And we must pay heed and take action when russia commits for crimes and my real poor, boucher, and ill to pin we will bring the murderous to justice and when were doing every thing in our power to support the International Criminal court and the independent International Committee of fin crime race settling by the human rights council. Zombies on hold, and especially those who bear particular responsibility far ordering the world by dint of their strength and they influence should have an interest in bolstering our common institutions. The full High Commission of human rights briefed us about the situation of the week as engine jung. A few weeks ago, china should implement the High Commissioners recommendations. That would be a sign of sovereignty and Strength Center guarantee for change of change for the better than the ladies and gentlemen. A 3rd principle must be taken into consideration. If we are to preserve the International Order, we must adapt our rules and institutions to the reality of the 21st century. Far too often, these rules and institutions reflect the world of 3050. 00 or 70 years ago, johnson, and that also goes for the United NationsSecurity Council. Germany has, for many years been committed to its reform and expansion. First and foremost, to include the countries of the globe, a south germany is also prepared to assume greater responsibility as a permanent member and initially, initially as a non permanent seed in 2027, 28. I kindly ask you to support our candidacy, the candidacy of a country that respects the principles of the United Nations and which offers and seeks corporation. It is to my mind entirely in natural that the up and coming dynamic countries and regions of asia african southern america must be given a Stronger Political voice on the world stage. That is in all of our interests as well. That gives rise to joint responsibility and greater expect acceptance for our decisions. Nationalism and isolation will not solve the challenges of our age, more corporation, more partnership and more involvement is the only reason of a response, whether for the fight against Climate Change or Global Health threats, inflation and disrupted supply chains. While our approach to displacement and migration, i say this with profound conviction, the insight that openness and corporations save god, peace and prosperity has made the past decades the happiest in the history of my country so far. As this he is g 7 president. It is therefore a key priority for me to promote a new form of cooperation with the countries of the globe, of south corporation that not only claims to take place on a level Playing Field, but one on which act as genuinely see eye to eye. Especially since this level Playing Field has existed de facto for a long time. If we consider the growing political, economic, and demographic out of asia, african southern america. From the outset, we coordinated our objectives very closely within denisia as they heard of the d. 20 presidency. Weve involved the Countries Holding the chairmanship of the African Union and the community of latin american caribbean states in our discussions as the g 7, as well as india and south africa. This gave rise to new models of Clover Corporation which have one thing in common, namely the fact that they are characterized by joint responsibility and mutual solidarity. We are fighting the hunger crisis with a new alliance for global food security. And i would like to invite you all to join this alliance. Weve launched a partnership for Global Infrastructure and investment in order together to mobilize 600000000000. 00 for public and private Infrastructure Investments around the world over the next 5 years. In so doing, were taking a bit step towards implementing their 2030 agenda and with a newly emerging climate clump, were pressing ahead with friends and partners world wide to implement the pairs agreement even more swiftly and efficiently. Such approaches are pillars that support our International Order because they deliver results from which citizens in all of our country is stand to benefit and which they expect from the United Nations. Before we the p pulls, it is not for nothing that these are the 1st 3 words of our charter. Note that these words are not we the Member States or we the delegates. We have an obligation to our peoples. We owe them a global order that allows them to live in peace also which protects their rates and opens up opportunities for education, health and development. For them such an order doesnt come about by itself defending so that developing and strengthening it fat as our task as the night at nations. Germany extends the hand of corporation to all of you in this endeavor. Thank you very much. Ah nobody left, right. Youve been listening to the german chancellor, olaf showed speaking at the un General Assembly. If you highlight from his speech, he started, it was all about ukraine and russias war in ukraine. And he started with a robust indictment of russias actions in ukraine, calling it imperialism, and reiterating something that European Countries have been saying since earlier today, that they will not accept. And that germany in this instance will not accept the results of any referendums that are going to be held over the next few days in russian backed regions in easton, ukraine referendums. On joining russia. That is. All right, lets cross live now. The mike hannah was at un headquarters in new york. Mike, you were listening as well. What did you make of what you just heard . Well, as he say, he repeated the intense criticism of russia from what we heard from other leaders as well. In the course of the day he was speaking about the threat of war becoming a common instrument of politics. This in direct reference to the invasion of ukraine, making clear that he sees this as a russian imperialism, saying very sharply to that. Im glad to make putin will not give up unless he realizes that hes lost. Hes calling for a multinational world in order to fight against the type of action that we are seeing in ukraine. But at very important point, he brought up in his speech too, particularly given where he was making the speech is calling for reform of the Security Council. He said that we must bring the adept out rules. He said to the realities of the 21st century, to do this, hes insistent, the Security Council has got to be expanded to give a greater voice to the global south. This is very significant hearing a call for Security Council reform from the podium in the United NationsGeneral Assembly mike mike, the line is probably going to be making headlines from this speech. A word that the french president also use imperialism to describe what Vladimir Putin is doing, mike. Yes, indeed. In fact, from the chancellor speech that was very strong echoes of what president mc crohn had said earlier in the day describing the russian actions as a new imperialism. And say, any countries that remain neutral in this ongoing conflict are being complicit in this form of imperialism. This is what president micron had to say. All right, somebody didnt seem to have that, but once again, as i said, president micron. Sorry. Yeah, mike, what will be bring your viewers that that clip from friend for the media and call later. Now the german chancellor all right, will be, will be continuing that conversation with michael later nato secretary general in stilton burg is also new york for the United NationsGeneral Assembly. He spoke to our diplomatic editor james bayes, but the recent gains ukraine has made it is encouraging that the ukrainians have been able to liberate her significant territory. Ah, thats said due to the courage to commitment of ukraine on forces, but also due to the, the support at nato allies and partners. Solo to roll have a provider to ukraine, enabled them to defend himself against the brutal aggression about preston, booting against the sovereign independent nation in europe. You see all the intelligence that we dont see. You cant share that with us. I know, but from what youve read, how seriously degrade it is the russian military. Now they have lost a lot, saw her material, her personnel on the press, them put in. I made a huge satiric mistake because he thought he was going to take control over your crane within days. And then he didnt succeed in taking care of any ah, reform rated a man to take it on boss. The offense there stalled, and all ukraine is pushing back on taking back a territory. But the wars are unpredictable. We need to be prepared for a long haul on the 1st big challenge is of course the winter. The winters coming. Its going to be hard. And if we need to step up our supporter to ukraine, lets look at russias response to the setbacks its received and weve had, in the last few hours, the announcement of referenda in lieu hans can donates. It seems that doing what they did in 2014 in crimea. Whats your response . Such as your friend are, have a no legitimacy recall, so they are had shame or a friend us on the they were not to change the nature over the war. This remain so war of aggression against a ukraine on her. It represents an escalation. Ah, because if suddenly it is a phase or is which are part of ukraine are declared as part to russia. Thatll further escalate the conflict. So strong words from you, but is there any action that nato can take in response to these referenda, which gonna happen and days . Which again, the most important thing is to support your crane. Because at the end of the day, its only a crane that can defend your crane. Nato allies are not part of the conflict, but we help you. Crane support your crane. A pull the right for self defense, a right and shrine in action. The you and shorter were standing in front of you and building a new york. And the every nation has the right to defend itself against the aggression. And thats exactly what the crane does. And we help them in terms of rushes response. Are you worried about further military escalation . Because recently your former deputy rose guatemala, raised the prospect of russia using Tactical Nuclear weapons. Are you worried about that . We are monitoring very closely on the or we have made sure that her russia knows or any use of Nuclear Weapons were totally changed. Her nature, the character of this war, a nuclear war. Her cannot be a one and should never be fault on the rush on those on. What would n
