A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Reminder that the US also sanctioned and blocked UN special rapporteur Francesca Albanese from entering the country less than two months ago because they didn't like her reporting.

The USA is no longer an appropriate place to host the UN headquarters.
The USA is no longer an appropriate place to host the UN headquarters.
Never been
time to move the UN
Move the UN to Switzerland.
Yeah because the Swiss are so virtuous and have never ever aligned with nazis.
Your comment seems to imply that the placement of the UN HQ and GA is somehow ...a reward for a country's virtue? What kind of silliness is that?
The choice of placement of the UN HQ&GA should be guided by a simple principle: what place in the world is stable enough, neutral enough and independent from external pressure enough to be the place where representatives of all the countries in the globe, regardless of whether they are good or bad or «good» or «bad» can reliably meet without hindrance under a flag of truce.
It's a fucking practical question not a moral one.
Ya as much as I hate the Swiss for being neutral throughout all conflicts and rarely picking sides, they've become rather well known for being neutral throughout all conflicts and rarely picking sides.
That doesn't seem fair. Maybe it's time to move the U.N. to a more civilized country.
US breaks one of the most important the pillars of the United Nations.
THE RIGHT OF ALL LEADERS TO ATTEND THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY, this is written in the UN charter and the US agreed to let everyone travel to UN meetings in New York when the UN was founded.
This is an attempt to start the destruction of the UN.
Even during the Cold War they never pulled a stunt like this. The American regime is failing hard
No its not, it is doing what America has wanted to do and now what its owners have wanted to do for ever.
Its failing at being decent, it is succeeding at its task to ruin it all.
There is already a UN building in Geneva. Make that the primary one .

Trump blocks. Trump.
Fuck this inbred oompa loompa, and every person that helps him. He spreads his disease while a third of America claps and ignores the clear signs of child rape and genocide.
This is a creature, a monster. He is a thing, not a being. A creation of wealth, power, and privilege. He should never have reached such a ripe, demented age.
Our societies have failed us. The United States of America has been compromised.
Dude, the US has been blocking Palestine and the UN since long before Trump.
UN should get the f out of us&a
Put it in the country most known for their riots? None of the delegates would ever make it to a meeting.
Paris? Really? Give it to Ireland, they're neutral, right? (Idk anything about Ireland, I just don't think France woukd be a good idea). Have it move depending on the year.
Like the Olympics, they have to build a new building complex each time it moves.
Sure, change the headquarters every half decade, make them nice, but not too fancy. Then the city is left with a nice building after the country's term is up. Or they could use existing buildings. Only countries that enforce the UN list of human rights can host. Other ideas include a manmade island in the middle of an ocean, Antarctica, and the Moon.
Keep it in Antarctica.
Northern Ireland or the Republic of Ireland?
Republic of Ireland, don't be silly.
Next we need to pick which Korea will host a global summit....
Montreal
It's nobody's fault, but I think we all know, that I won't make it to Montreallll.
They were selling palestinian land in a synaguoge in montreal
I can't believe I have to root for Abbas here. Goddamnit Trump.
Must be in preparation for disolving the PA for official annexation. No other explanation for this move sgsinst the traitor Abbas
True Abbas is a Quizling who does whatever he's told. His only use is to legitimise the occupation.
damn it. I have to side with either Abbas or Dumpy McShitPants? UNFAIR!
