#multilateralism — Public Fediverse posts

📣The Antarctic Treaty has long been a model of peace, science & environmental protection. Yet, in a world of rising tensions, the system seems incapable of living up to its own commitments. On #PRIFBlog, @ptrckflmm asks: How can Antarctica remain a space for peaceful cooperation?🐧

Alexander Stubb: “A multipolar world runs on several, often competing nodes of power, or poles.… The concern is that a multipolar world leaves small and medium-sized countries out — bigger countries make deals over their heads. Whereas multilateralism leads to order, multipolarity leads toward disorder and conflict.”

Philippines’ Bid For United Nations Security Council Seat Rejected

The Philippines, which previously supported the creation of a Palestinian state and discussed cooperation with the Islamic terrorist regime of Iran, badly lost in its bid for a non-permanent seat in the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) as only forty-nine nations voted for them, according to a news report by GMA News. One hundred and forty-two other nations chose Kyrgyzstan over the Philippines during the fourth round of voting.

It should be recalled that no less than Philippine President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos, Jr., himself told the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) last March that the Philippines is a voice for principled peace and expressed confidence that the nation has an advantage in its bid for a UNSC non-permanent seat.

To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the GMA News report. Some parts in boldface…

The Philippines failed in its bid to attain a seat in the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) as a non-permanent member.

Zimbabwe, Austria, Portugal, Trinidad and Tobago, and Kyrgyzstan were named new members of the UNSC, which can issue legally binding resolutions that may include military action, economic sanctions, and deployment of peacekeeping operations.

A fourth round of votes was cast for UNSC members to choose between the Philippines and Kyrgyzstan, in the Asia-Pacific Group, after they failed to reach the required two-thirds of the majority.

Kyrgyzstan eventually achieving the necessary two-thirds majority and securing its first-ever Security Council seat by 142 votes to 49.

The remaining 10 members are elected, with five new members joining every year. This year, one comes from the Africa Group, one from the Latin American and Caribbean Group, one from the Asia-Pacific Group, and two from the Western European and Others Group.

Zimbabwe will replace Somalia and Trinidad and Tobago will replace Panama, while Portugal and Austria will replace Denmark and Greece. Kyrgyzstan will replace Pakistan.

Bahrain, Colombia, Democratic Republic of Congo, Latvia and Liberia will continue to serve as non-permanent members of the Security Council until the end of 2027.

The Permanent Members are: China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

The rest of the non-permanent members are: Bahrain, Colombia, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Latvia, and Liberia.

Last March, President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. made a personal pitch for the Philippines’ candidacy for a non-permanent seat on the United Nations (UN) Security Council, saying the country is ready to contribute as a voice of balance among the world’s nations and as a “voice for principled peace.”

Marcos Jr. expressed confidence that the Philippines has an advantage in its bid for a non-permanent seat on the United Nations Security Council.

As a concerned citizen, I do not like what the Philippines did at the wicked United Nations and on other international affairs. Apart from supporting the creation of a Palestinian state, their diplomats formalized a mechanism to boost bilateral cooperation with the Palestinians (which practices apartheid). When the ASEAN Summit was hosted in Cebu province, the Philippines acted as if it was a highly credible player on global diplomacy (click here and here). The Philippines deplored Israel’s strike on Qatar which made them look like they were defending the Hamas terrorists in Doha.

The loss at the UN is the latest setback for the Philippines and 2026 has been a pretty bad year so far. Apart from diplomacy, the Philippines is experiencing weakening economic growth, rapid inflation and it remains very vulnerable on energy as it imports most of its oil from the Middle East. The warning signs about the national economy are only growing.

Let me end this post by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this recent development? Do you consider the Philippines a highly credible participant in international affairs? Do you think the Philippines deserves a seat at the United Nations Security Council under the current administration?

今日は歴史的な一日でした。CEBがアジアで初めて東京で開催され、ガイ・バーナード・ライター国連事務次長による講演がありました。

現在、常任理事国5カ国のうち2カ国が国際法を無視という危機的状況の中で、ライター氏から日本への熱いメッセージが届きました。

🇯🇵 日本への2つの期待

1️⃣ 国際法を順守し、法に基づく国際秩序の模範であり続けること

2️⃣ 国連改革の声を上げ続けること——加盟国の一員として主体的に推進すべき

グテーレス事務総長が来日し、高市総理と「日本が国連改革を後押しする」と約束を交わしたばかり。このタイミングでの事務次長の言葉は、極めて重く、日本の方向性を示す決定的なメッセージだと感じています。

Some forms of peace are built for the cameras. Others are built to survive the morning after.

This piece reflects on the difference between political spectacle and the harder, slower work of building trust, legitimacy, and durable peace.

The UN needs a strong leader committed to multilateralism and not aligned with any country, including any superpower.

It is precisely this, along with a commitment to serving all of humanity, combined with competence, that should be the sole basis for selecting the next Secretary-General.

Multilateralism for middle powers

" Multilateralism is shorthand for the much-invoked “rules-based international order”; multipolarity is the world of competing spheres of interest, what Stubb calls “an oligopoly of power”, where the strong do what they will and the weak do what they must.

We are not simply in a transition; we are in a fight for a future world order. And the path to a healthy outcome necessarily runs through international institutions, from the UN to settings far beyond it, where we must rethink membership and power for global cooperation to survive.The world is being reshaped by the “structural” forces of demography, climate and technology,

Part of the problem, Stubb argues, is that “the US is not a modern society by European or Asian standards”. This helps to explain the growing influence of a radical form of evangelical Christianity within the Trump administration. But it also accounts for the absence of adequate healthcare, education and housing that plagues the US, in particular, and neoliberal economies like Australia’s more generally.

Without strong multilateral systems, all interstate deals become transactional. A multipolar world runs on self-interest. A multilateral world makes the common interest a self-interest. " >>

Papa! Who with authority joins the fight for #MULTILATERALISM which is under attack by the the axis of Cruel Inhumane Corrupt Oligarch-dictators (Trump-Epstein Class/Billionaire Pedos--it's all the same) and their patsies? The Pope! The church, at its best, culturally forced and forces humane multilateralism in Europe and around the world.

Going exactly in the opposite direction to where we should be headed -
1. Close the $4 trillion financing gap by scaling up financing and investment;
2. Focus on maximizing #sustainable #development impact, aligned with country priorities;
3. Invest in# resilience to protect impact in the face of more frequent shocks;
4. Strengthen #multilateral #institutions and #cooperation; and
5. Continue to invest in and support #multilateralism

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/apr/08/europe-lesson-donald-trump-era-us-sanity. "American #conservatism is steeped in the #paranoid, #apocalyptic thinking that equates #European traditions of #liberal #democracy with civilisational decline & the erasure of #white, #Christian #culture by #Muslim #immigration. Through that lens, any appeal to #international #institutions & #multilateralism is understood as the pathetic whining of #geopolitical weaklings." Putting the words "white" & "Christian" together is blasphemous.

Deudney (2007: Ch. 6) rejects contentions that a world government must be built on a hierarchical model, sword at the ready to enforce global peace. Instead, and turning in part to the US founding for his model he posits a system of semi-autonomous republics coexisting within an overarching federal structure, with extensive separation of coercive and other powers at various levels of government.
