“To schedule a show at the United Nations won't serve anything. What's important are concrete deeds and not just words, including on human rights and in particular the rights of women and on an inclusive government and distancing from terrorist groups.”

“Today the UN is like a retired superhero who has forgotten what he could do. He considers himself a burden, a weak, frail, useless old man whose life was in vain. [Russia fueling the ongoing war in eastern Ukraine and Russia's occupation of the Crimean Peninsula] Isn't it evidence of an international crime? Isn't it proof of impunity and disrespect for international law? Moreover, the Russian Federation itself officially declares it. And it forces our citizens of Ukraine to take part in the elections to the Russian parliament. And if the UN does not react efficiently and strongly to this, is that proof that it is too late to revive the UN?”

“The democratic government of Taiwan should be allowed to participate in an equal and dignified manner within the UN system. There is absolutely nothing in General Assembly Resolution 2758 which prevents this inclusive approach, and this resolution affords nothing to hide behind, as it expresses no position on Taiwan. As a people-centric institution, the UN cannot ignore the Taiwanese people or continue to use their nationality to exclude them from attending public meetings or public tours at its headquarters. The shameful silence must end.”

“One can argue that since the United States now has about 15 percent of the world's GDP [gross domestic product] that its contribution to the UN should be smaller and that other countries - for example, China - should increase their effort.”

“North Korea's steadily advancing missile program should not come as a surprise. Kim Jong-un made defense development a major line of effort in his report addressing the eighth Party Congress in January 2021, and specifically mentioned long-range cruise missiles. The cruise missile tests also follow a report by the United Nations that North Korea restarted the plutonium-producing reactor at the Yongbyon nuclear complex this summer. The Biden administration's approach seeking a middle path between the Trump administration's dangerous maximum pressure campaign of 2017 and the subsequent summit pageantry is unlikely to stop North Korea's programs. The longer the United States waits to get serious at the negotiating table, the more technical thresholds and limitations Kim Jong-un will break through, leaving the United States in an ultimately worse-off position.”

“This was a body created [by the UN] to help reach a consensus and bring about an agreement. They [the delegates] were meant to come up with a constitutional framework for elections to be held in December but they are deeply divided. Despite an interim government being appointed in February, each side was putting forward a different candidate. Libya is still divided over how to hold the elections in December.”

“In light of Kim Jong-un's accelerated efforts to improve his nuclear and ballistic missile programs, it makes no sense to lift any U.N. sanctions, and throw away leverage. In terms of North Korea's internal situation, Kim has done more harm with his self-imposed sanctions - closing borders, eliminating any cross-border travel, horrible economic mismanagement, shutting markets, bad policies, and refusing ROK [Republic of Korea - South Korea] medical help - than the U.N. sanctions have done. If he wants food aid, how about us giving him one million tons of food for each nuclear weapon he verifiably destroys?”
