Javier Gerardo Milei, President of the Argentine Republic: "The 2030 agenda, although it's well intentioned in its goals, is nothing but a supranational government programme that is socialist in shape. It purports to resolve the problems of modernity with solutions that afflict the sovereignty of nation-states and violate the right to life, right to freedom and property of persons.
It's an agenda that purports to resolve poverty, inequality, discrimination, with legislation that simply furthers these issues because the history of the world has shown that the only way of guaranteeing prosperity is by limiting the power of the monarch, by guaranteeing equality before the law, defending the right to life, to freedom and to the ownership and property of individuals. The adoption of this agenda is fully in line with these privileged interests and looks beyond the principles that were set out in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
It has therefore twisted the role of this organization and set it on the wrong course. We've seen how an organization that was born to defend the rights of man has become one of the main proponents of systematic violations of freedom, such as for instance the lockdowns imposed in 2020, which should be seen as a crime against humanity. In this same house we have also included bloody dictatorships in the Human Rights Council, including Cuba and Venezuela, without reproach. In this same house, which purports to defend the rights of women, we have allowed on the CEDAW committee countries that punish their women just for showing their skin. In this same house, that have voted against the State of Israel, which is the only country in the Middle East to defend a liberal democracy.
We have simultaneously shown a total inability to respond to the scourge of terrorism. On the economic level, we have promoted collectivist policies that undermine economic growth, violate property rights and disrupt a natural economic process, preventing the most left behind countries to freely enjoy their own resources. They have imposed regulations and prohibitions specifically because of countries that wish to develop themselves.
We have further established toxic relationship between global governance and international credit bodies, demanding that those countries that are most left behind commit resources that they don't have to programs that they don't need, becoming them perpetual, making them perpetual debtors.
We have also seen ridiculous policies with Malthusian stances, such as policies, zero emissions policies that harm all poor countries, policies related to sexual and reproductive rights, when birth rates in Western countries are plummeting, announcing a somber future for all of us."
