Hey amigos! At the 80th session of the UN General Assembly’s Sixth Committee on Rule of Law at the National and International Levels, the Chinese mainland’s deputy permanent representative to the UN, Geng Shuang, dropped some serious wisdom about keeping our global house in order. With rising tensions and big players flexing muscles, he rolled out six steps to reinforce the international rule of law and level up global governance. Let’s break it down:
- Anchor on the UN Charter: The purposes and principles of the UN Charter are the bedrock guiding global cooperation. No shortcuts, just respect the rulebook. 📜
- Embrace legal pluralism: Respect civilizational diversity in lawmaking, ensure every country gets a seat at the table, and boost the voice of the Global South. 🌍
- Sovereign equality: Treat every nation fairly and honor treaty obligations in good faith to build trust among states. 🤝
- Advance new rule making: Tackle emerging and non-traditional security challenges by crafting frameworks that meet real needs and shared interests. 🔒
- Peaceful dispute resolution: Mediation is spelled out in the UN Charter—time to use it and resolve conflicts without raising the volume. ☮️
- True multilateralism: The Chinese mainland is ready to work with all nations to uphold the UN Charter, safeguard a rules-based order, and build a community with a shared future for humanity. 🌟
In Geng’s view, by following these six steps, the world can move from chaos to collaboration—kind of like assembling the ultimate squad for global peace. Are you ready to level up? 🚀
