BEIJING, Dec. 9 (Xinhua) — Amid a global outcry for peace, the United States has once again pitted itself against the international community by vetoing a draft resolution demanding an immediate humanitarian ceasefire in the Gaza Strip.

At the Security Council’s meeting on the Israel-Palestine issue, the resolution — submitted by the United Arab Emirates to the United Nations (UN) Security Council on Friday — received overwhelming support from 13 of the 15 Security Council members, with Britain abstaining. The United States is the only member to vote against it.

DPRK: Disband the US-Controlled “United Nations Military Command” Entity – to Maintain Peace and Security on the Korean Peninsula! (13.11.2023)

On June 24th, 1994, UN Secretary-General Boutrus Galli acknowledged that “the Combined Military Command was NOT established by the UN Security Council as a subsidiary organization under its control – and was solely under the command of the United States.”

On December 21st, 1998, UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan also said of the military forces dispatched by the United States to the Korean War – or its command, “None of my predecessors gave any permission to any country to associate the name of the United States with the name of the United Nations.” Since then, several UN officials have repeatedly emphasized that “the UN Combined Command is NOT a UN organization – and is NOT under the command or control of the UN.”

The fact is that the appropriation of the designation “United Nations Military Command” by the US was only a front for its aggressive policies in the region – which remains a flagrant violation of International Law, including the UN Charter, and a shameless insult to all UN Member countries.

Cuba: Zionist Israel Joins Neo-Nazi Ukraine in Support of “Illegal” US Blockade! (3.11.2023)

He added that it is “an act of economic warfare, in times of peace,” creating a situation of ungovernability and an attempt to destroy the constitutional order.

Aurelie Flore Koumba Pambo, representative of Gabon to the UN, voiced her country’s concern over the continuing embargo.

“The scale of its impact is more and more harmful to the Cuban people,” she said during the debate, noting that the economic blockade is “clearly a hostile act to region and continental cohesion.”

She called it an “obstacle to the social and economic development of Cuba.”

Peruvian UN Ambassador Luis Ugarelli said his country “shares the view of practically the entire international community” that the embargo is against the principles of the UN Charter and international human rights law, noting Peru would support the resolution, as it has done for more than 30 years.

US Anti-Intelectualism: Washington’s Rules-Based World Order a Myth! (9.5.2023)

In fact, the U.S. government has a tradition of putting its domestic law above international law and selectively applies international rules as it sees fit. For example, Washington has enacted such domestic laws as the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, the Global Magnitsky Human Rights Accountability Act and the Countering America’s Adversaries Through Sanctions Act to target and sanction specific countries, entities or individuals.

The ambiguous rules contained in these acts and executive orders, such as the “minimum contacts” rule and the “effects doctrine,” are a willful expansion of the jurisdiction of America’s domestic laws.

And for more than six decades, despite dozens of UN General Assembly resolutions, the United States has pressed ahead with its comprehensive blockade against Cuba, the longest and cruelest systemic trade embargo and financial sanctions in modern history, based on its embargo policies and domestic laws such as the Torricelli Act and the Helms-Burton Act. The blockade has led to over 100 billion U.S. dollars of direct losses to Cuba’s economy.
