Recently, the plots of the US "Withdrawal", "Breach of Contract" and "Arrears" series have been continuously updated.
Because of its own interests, the US government has repeatedly trampled on international rules and undermined the international order. It has been criticized and opposed by scholars from many countries, international media, and international political figures.
All parties in the international community generally believe that the general trend of win-win cooperation is unstoppable, and the international order of peace and security cannot be shaken.
"Withdraw from the group", "broke the contract", and "owe arrears", the American "disruption" continues
The former Deputy Secretary-General of the United Nations and Columbia University professor Jose Antonio Ocampo recently posted on the "World News Syndicate" website that in less than four years, the United States has withdrawn from multiple organizations and agreements in the United Nations system. : UNESCO, the Iran nuclear agreement, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East, the United Nations Human Rights Council, and announced that they would withdraw from the World Health Organization when the epidemic was raging.
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mousavi said that the US government has violated international obligations and undermined international order and rules for the past three and a half years, while the US is still pursuing unilateralism and withdrawing from international agreements.
Mousavi said that the above-mentioned actions have occurred many times and can be called "the United States withdraws from the series of international treaties."
In addition to a series of acts such as unilaterally "breaking contracts" and "withdrawing from the group", disrupting the operation of international organizations, and defaulting on membership dues, the United States has also abused unilateral sanctions against international organizations that do not act according to the will of the United States.
The "Washington Post" bluntly stated that the tenure of the US president will be "written in the annals of history as a recklessly continuous process of tragic destruction."
Violating the spirit of the contract for one's own interests, and was criticized by many
On the external front, the United States "used if they were combined with international agreements, and discarded if they didn't agree," and violated the spirit of the contract for its own interests and lacked the responsibility of major powers, which caused widespread criticism from the outside world.
The French newspaper Le Monde recently stated that after the United Nations Security Council failed to restore sanctions against Iran, it decided to unilaterally restore sanctions and threatened sanctions against all countries that opposed it.
A UN official expressed regret: “If the United States no longer abides by the UN regulations and enforces sanctions at its own pace, then no one will follow any sanctions regime.” The EU’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Olof Skog, also He pointed out that “some major countries are making selective decisions, believing that they only need to comply with those international agreements that serve national interests.”
The New York Times website published an article saying that because US government officials ignored international agreements and pursued the "America First" policy, the global image of the United States began to suffer before the pandemic.
But now, its reputation seems to plummet.
Regarding the deployment of the arrears of WHO dues, many voices in the United States believe that even if you withdraw from the WHO, you must fulfill your financial obligations before you withdraw.
Gostin, a professor of global health law at Georgetown University in the United States, bluntly said that the United States is "immoral and illegal" to redeploy the dues that should have been paid to the WHO.
"Treachery" hardly hinders the general trend of win-win cooperation
Jose Antonio Ocampo said in an article that the world economy is experiencing its worst recession since the "Great Depression" in the 1930s.
From floods to wildfires, unusually severe natural disasters are causing damage in many countries.
The United States has long been the world's major supporter of multilateral cooperation, but now it is abandoning friends and partners, or even becoming enemies.
He pointed out in the article that the United Nations is still a highly influential institution.
75 years after its birth, the world, especially the United States, must restore this belief and recommit to the multilateralism it requires.
At present, the international balance of power and order are undergoing profound adjustments.
Healthy competition and mutually beneficial cooperation are the common expectations of most countries, and they also conform to the common interests of the international community.
As the Indonesian "Thousand Island Daily" commentary said: "Win-win cooperation is the main road. The United States only wants to be the ruler of the game, and after the rules are formulated, it is good for itself, and then it is followed; when it is bad for itself, it is discarded at any time. It only applies to other countries, not to itself, and it holds a double standard. In the final analysis, the United States only wants to win alone, dominate itself, and cannot allow other countries to develop together."
"America is great again" is to put American interests above the legitimate interests of other countries and the common interests of the international community.
The commentary stated that with "domestic priority" overriding international rules and "national security" to cover up protectionism, the US policy direction has undermined the most basic principles and consensus of international relations, affected global economic and trade relations, and deviated from the era of economic globalization. The general trend is a disaster for the world economy and even international relations.
At the same time, what the United States has done will not only damage its international credibility, but also its own international status and strategic interests, and will eventually suffer its own consequences.
