Reform, ligestilling og kvinders rettigheder, uddannelse og
ungedeltagelse var blandt temaerne, der blev fremhævet i en flot
tale fra udviklingsminister Ulla Tørnæs på Danmarks vegne foran
FN's Generalforsamling i New York, gjorde hun det klart, hvordan
Danmark og Verden har brug for et stærkt FN.
"Seventy years ago, this General Assembly adopted the first
global human rights charter - the Universal Declaration of Human
Rights. The declaration codified the most basic principles of human
dignity - emphasizing that we are all equal. We committed ourselves
to an international order where rights and freedoms could be fully
realized.
Seventy years ago, we knew that international cooperation was the
only way to protect our populations. And through this organization,
we have delivered remarkable results.
Still, the foundation on which this organization is built has
perhaps never been under more pressure than today. The very
principle of multilateralism is being questioned. Doubt is being
cast on the frameworks that protect human rights, ensure free trade
and promote global development. Insufficient action is being taken
on global problems like climate change, poverty, migration,
terrorism and violent extremism.
To Denmark, the path forward is clear: Global challenges need
global solutions. And to this end, we need a strong United Nations
with its unique legitimacy and its universal membership. A United
Nations that delivers on its full potential."

Statsministeren var fløjet tilbage til Danmark, da
udviklingsministeren afgav sin tale på Danmarks vegne i
Generalforsamlingen, og hverken FN og multilateralismen var da
heller ikke nogle steder at spore, da statsministeren kun 4 dage
senere stillede sig på talerstolen i Folketinget til åbningen af
den nye politiske sæson. Det globale udsyn strakte sig så langt som
til EU og NATO, og det globale ansvar syntes langt væk.
