America Uses the UN to Perpetuate Conflict | Tiktok Livestream

Really appreciate you hosting this this live and letting us get the message out to more people, particularly to The UK. Because as the team has said, we have the the petition in The UK that we have a a rather urgent deadline and a rather large quota of signatures that we need in order for that petition to be effective. So we we're putting a great priority on The UK petition. So I hope that a lot of the audience out there right now is in The United Kingdom so that they can go and sign that petition, and we can make it useful, inshallah. And as as sister said, once we get 10,000 signatures, then we will get a response from the government.

They will acknowledge the petition. But if we have a 100,000 signatures, inshallah, then we can actually it will be brought up in the parliament, which in and of itself would be a historic achievement To have it actually discussed in the parliament of the United Kingdom to invoke article six to have The United States expelled from the United Nations in and of itself would be a historic achievement. At the same time, as they said, we're also focusing on the global petition that we have on change.org. We have strategy moving forward. Once we get sufficient signatures on the global petition to where we'll be able to the the global petition is important in terms of being able to have the issue raised at the United Nations by a member state from the global South.

For example, we have some some good connections with political parties in South Africa. We have some potential connections with political parties in Nigeria and potentially engaging with the with the African Union as well as potentially engaging with an organization of states called the Friends of the UN Charter that we can approach about raising the issue of article six because it does have to be raised at the United Nations by a member state. But The UK obviously is a very, very important country for us to sway and for us to have some pressure on the on the political establishment in The United Kingdom for the obvious reason that they're on the Security Council, and they would be one of the one of the one of the states that would be more likely to side with The United States and potentially veto article six if it was brought up at the Security Council. So we need to we need to show The UK political establishment that there is inside of The UK support for the invocation of article six. And I just wanted to say something about the United Nations Charter.

I heard sister Samira talking about and I I I think that brother AJ was talking I I missed that part, was talking about what the UN Charter stands for, what the principles of the UN Charter are. And sister Haya was talking about how the United Nations there's nothing wrong with the institution. The institution is a good institution, but it hasn't been allowed to operate or to function properly. It hasn't been allowed to function or operate according to its own charter, and it has been prevented from doing so by The United States. So we don't have a problem with the United Nations.

We don't have a problem with the UN charter. We don't have a a problem with the principles of the UN charter. Quite the opposite. On the contrary, we believe in the UN Charter. We believe in the principles of the UN Charter, and that's precisely why we're calling for the invocation of Article six, is in the UN Charter that as everyone probably by now hopefully should know, Article six is to be invoked against a member state which persistently violates the principles of the UN Charter.

And we don't find when we if we review the record of the United Nations, we can't find any member state that has so persistently violated the principles of the UN Charter as The United States. The United Nations Charter is a contract between the governments of the world and the people of the world, And that that means that the the the will of the people of the world is supposed to be represented by the United Nations, by the policy of the United Nations, by the actions of the United Nations is supposed to reflect the will and the aspirations and the values of the global consensus of all of us. And all of our voices are being silenced on a regular basis as we know, as we just saw with the vote on membership for for Palestine in the United Nations, as we just saw, the overwhelming majority of nations in the world support, the admission of Palestine, into the United Nations as a full member, which also signals, of course, that the global consensus is that the overwhelming majority of nations in the world believe that Palestine deserves statehood. They deserve to have a state. They deserve to be acknowledged as a nation.

And as we also saw in every single vote that there was on a ceasefire, the overwhelming majority of of of people in the world, the overwhelming majority of nations in the world, of countries in the world, of governments in the world, want a ceasefire and and and acknowledge that this is a genocide that needs to be stopped. And all of those voices, all that's not just the voices of people in the United Nations. That's the voices of all of us. That's all of us. All of our voices are being vetoed.

The United States is able to hit the mute button on all of the voices of all of the people in the world. When we are campaigning for the invocation of article six, this is for everyone. This is for us. This is the the people of the world demanding that the terms of the contract that is represented by the UN Charter, that that should be actualized, that it should be acted upon, and that the nations of the world should, uphold the terms of that contract that's between them and us. And the the main force, the the the primary violator, that is preventing that charter from actually being acted upon and is preventing the United Nations from, functioning properly, as I've said, is The United States.

So it's in everyone's interest. Whether you whether whether your issue, is Gaza or your issue is Palestine Palestinian statehood or your issue is anything else, the fact of the matter is that for seventy five years, The United States has, been able to act with impunity and it has been able to use the United Nations simply as a control mechanism for all of the countries in the world to ensure that its own policy, that American policy, can be can be the guiding policy for the rest of the planet, and it can overrule the global consensus. If if you're not okay with that, if you actually believe that the world should operate according to consensus, and actually do value the the principles in the UN Charter, as any I think anyone would, then you should sign the petition. When you brought up the student protests, they're they're protesting for their universities to divest from Israel, which is just a a policy of choice that the universities can do or can't do as they like. It's up to them.

There's no law about it. And the students are are asking for it for them to change their policy. Okay. Now imagine that it was illegal for them to, be invested with Israel, for them to have any shared investments, or affiliation with Israel. Imagine if it was illegal, and the students were just asking, for the law to be enforced.

How much how much, stronger their protest movement would be if they knew that they had the law on their side. And the same goes for for boycotts and so forth. Every every other type of protest movement, every other type of activist activity is Doesn't have the law on its side except in terms of it being legal for them to protest. But what we're talking about is actually calling for the implementation of the law. The law is absolutely on our side.

The thing that we're asking for is for the United Nations Charter to actually be acted upon, to be implemented. That's all we're asking for. We're not asking for something that's that's either against the law or that or that is is neutral. We're asking for the terms of the United Nations, what you can call the contract, as I said, the the contract between the United Nations and the populations of the world. We're asking for that to be implemented.

So we have the law on our side. So not only are we asking for something that's concrete, and it will have very practical, and immediate results once it is accomplished, it will have dramatic results on the entire, international order. Not to mention, it will have direct impact on the, Palestinian situation and the the the entire conflict between Palestine and the Zionists. So it has it's a it's a concrete demand. It's a concrete step.

It will have a practical impact, and it's the law. So we're not asking for something other than implementation of international law, is represented by the United Nations Charter. This is absolutely the strongest position that you can take, and anyone who is protesting, or marching, or demonstrating for Palestine should be calling for the invocation of Article six because every other, demand that you might make, or every other chant, or slogan that you might make, at a protest, or a march, or a demonstration, stop the genocide, free Palestine from the river to the sea, whatever you might say. All of these are, vague and abstract, and they don't call for practical steps to be taken that can actually resolve the problem. Invocation of Article six is a practical step.

It's a concrete step, and it is just the implementation of the actual law. I know, Masha Allah, there's a lot of very active people in The UK who participate in demonstrations and marches and so on, and protests. You should be calling for invocation of Article six, and and please spread this message because this is absolutely the most practical step that you can take, to to, help to resolve a a situation in in Palestine that should have been resolved decades ago and would have been resolved decades ago decades ago if it weren't for the fact that The United States is in the United Nations and controlling the United Nations and preventing the United Nations from enforcing, and protecting, and preserving, and upholding, its own principles. The if if that weren't the case, and if it weren't the case of the, the The United States being on The United the the United Nations Security Council with the veto power, If this were not the case, then the situation in Palestine would have been resolved decades ago. And if we and and I'm afraid that if we don't get this accomplished, it's not gonna be resolved for who knows how many more decades.

The law is on our side, And by our, I mean us, the the the people, the populations of the world. There's a contract between, the United Nations and the populations of the world that's supposed to be guaranteeing us, Not not not any government, not the powerful, not the elite, not the rulers, but us. It's supposed to be guaranteeing us peace and security. It's supposed to be guaranteeing us, human rights and equality. It's supposed to be guaranteeing us the rule of law on the planet.

It's supposed to be guaranteeing us that things operate internationally according to a global consensus, which represents our will and aspirations. So we're calling for for that contract to be fulfilled, And the only reason that it hasn't been fulfilled is because of this particular member who is the most persistent violator, which is The United States. So, fortunately, alhamdulillah, it is included in the charter that there is a mechanism. There is a means. There is an an an option for resolving this problem.

They had it included in there, and America signed that contract. They wrote the contract, but they never thought that that particular condition and that particular term would ever be applied to them. But there there's anonymous signatories to the United Nations Charter, and that's all of us. That's the global population. So we have a right to demand this.

What I was gonna say is there there's a concern that's that's frequently raised about, if The US is not is isn't there, then China will maybe dominate the UN and it will be the same as as, you know, with The U with The US dominating the UN. But the the the way that the American economy is managed and run is extremely different from the way that the Chinese economy is managed and run. As everyone knows, The United States has been running for the last, seventy years on a military industrial complex. That's their management system for the economy. They have boosted their economy, through, the Pentagon, the the the State Department of the Pentagon, the military industrial complex.

The the technology that we're using right now. I'm on a mobile phone. I'm sure many of you are on mobile phones. The Internet, all of these things, the iPhone, all of this, was developed by the Pentagon. It was developed through the military.

It was all developed for military purposes. That means that The United States, for the last seventy years, seventy five years, for the for the entirety of the, existence of the United Nations, The United States has, relied its economy upon the, perpetuation of conflicts around the world. They've relied on that for their domestic economy and they've used the United Nations, as an instrument and as a tool for perpetuating conflicts rather than for securing peace and security as is called for by the UN Charter. Their their their economy has been managed on the basis of perpetuating conflicts around the world. The Chinese economy isn't based on that.

The Russian economy isn't based on that. No one else's economy is based on that. So, it's conceivable that if The U if The US is is expelled from the United Nations and they're isolated and they are reduced in their ability to perpetuate conflicts around the world, it could ultimately in the long term affect The US economy. But I think that's something that's going to happen anyway.
