Enye yezinto ezininzi ekufuneka siyifunile ngokufanelekileyo kurhulumente wase-US ozayo kukushiya imeko yenkohliso, ukuthatha inxaxheba kakhulu kwizivumelwano, ubudlelwane obusebenzayo kunye nemveliso kwihlabathi liphela.
Sonke sivile malunga nesivumelwano se-Iran, ekufuneka siphinde sihlanganiswe senziwe isivumelwano - kwaye isohlwayo kufuneka sipheliswe. UBiden unokukwenza oku yedwa, ngaphandle kwenxalenye yesohlwayo sokuphela.
Sonke sivile ngesivumelwano semozulu yaseParis, ekufuneka sidityaniswe kwakhona senziwe isivumelwano-kunye nongcoliseko lomkhosi olubandakanyiweyo. UBiden unokukwenza oku yedwa ngoSuku 1.
Kodwa kuthekani ngabanye? Kuthekani ngezivumelwano ezithe zarhoxiswa nguTrump ngokungekho mthethweni (ngokungekho semthethweni kuba izivumelwano zifuna iCongress, kwaye ngenxa yokuba ezi zivumelwano zineenkqubo ezakhelweyo zokujongana neengxaki ezityholwayo ezisetyenziswa nguTrump njengezizathu zokurhoxa)? UBiden unokuphinda abuyele kubo ngokuthanda. Ngaba unayo intando?
Usenokuba nayo kwizivumelwano zorhwebo eziyintlekele, kodwa uthini malunga nezivumelwano zokuthomalalisa izixhobo ezonyusa amathuba okuphila kwabantu? Sithetha ngesiVumelwano soMkhosi weNyukliya esiPhakathi, kunye nesiVumelwano seZulu esivulekileyo, ekufuneka sidityaniswe, kunye nesiVumelwano esitsha sokuQala esifuna ukuvuselelwa. Ngaba impambano yeRussiagate iyakuphumelela ukucoceka kwezixhobo kwaye (ihlala ilungile) ukubuyela umva kweTrump? UTrump uphinde wakhupha i-US kwi-UN Human Rights Council, nakwi-UNESCO, zombini ezi zinto zidinga ukudityaniswa. UTrump ugwebe amagosa aphezulu kwiNkundla yoLwaphulo-mthetho lwaMazwe ngaMazwe. Oko kuya kufuna ukulungiswa kwaye inkundla ijoyine.
Ubume obukrakra baseMelika abuzange buqale ngeTrump. Kwizivumelwano ezili-18 zamalungelo oluntu zeZizwe eziManyeneyo, eMelika liqela 5, bambalwa kunalo naliphi na elinye ilizwe emhlabeni, ngaphandle kweBhutan (4), kwaye babambene neMalaysia, iMyanmar, kunye neSouth Sudan, ilizwe eliqhekeke yimfazwe ukusukela oko yadalwayo ngo-2011. I-United States kuphela kwesizwe emhlabeni esingakhange iqinisekisile iNgqungquthela yamaLungelo oMntwana. Yimilinganiselo emininzi isitshabalalisi esingqongileyo sendalo, ukanti ibiyinkokheli kwi ukuxhoma Iingxoxo zokhuselo lwemozulu amashumi eminyaka kwaye khange iqinisekise INgqungquthela yeNkqubo-sikhokelo ye-UN kuLawulo lwemozulu (i-UNFCCC) kunye ne-Kyoto Protocol. Urhulumente wase-US akazange ayamkele Umnqophiso oMgangatho woVavanyo woVavanyo ndarhoxa kwi Isivumelwano se-Anti-Ballistic Missile (ABM) ngo-2001. Ayizange ityikitye Isivumelwano seMayini seMayini okanye INgqungquthela yamaCluster Munitions.
I-United States ikhokelela ekuchaseni ulawulo lwentando yesininzi kwiZizwe eziManyeneyo kwaye ngokulula ibambe irekhodi lokusetyenziswa kwe-veto kwiBhunga lezoKhuseleko kule minyaka ingama-50 idlulileyo, emva kokuba ivotile i-UN igwebe ucalucalulo loMzantsi Afrika, iimfazwe zakwa-Israyeli kunye nemisebenzi, izixhobo zamachiza kunye nezinto eziphilayo, ukwanda kwezixhobo zenyukliya kunye nokusetyenziswa okokuqala nokusetyenziswa ngokuchasene namazwe angengawo enyukliya, iimfazwe zase-US eNicaragua naseGrenada nasePanama, isithintelo e-US eCuba, ukubulawa kwabantu eRwanda, ukuthunyelwa kwezixhobo kwindawo engaphandle, njl.
Ngokuchasene nombono oqhelekileyo, iUnited States ayikho inkokeli ehamba phambili yoncedo ekubandezelekeni kwehlabathi, kungekhona njengepesenti ngeniso kazwelonke or nganye ngekota okanye njengenani elipheleleyo leedola. Ngokungafaniyo namanye amazwe, i-United States ibala njenge-40 yepesenti yento ekuthiwa yeyoncedo, izixhobo zomkhosi wamanye amazwe. Uncedo lwayo luphela lujolise kwiinjongo zalo zomkhosi, kwaye imigaqo-nkqubo yalo yokufuduka kudala yakhiwa ijikeleze umbala wolusu, kwaye mva nje ijikeleze inkolo, hayi malunga neemfuno zabantu- ngaphandle kokuba mhlawumbi ngokuchaseneyo, kugxile ekutshixweni nasekwakhiweni kweendonga ukohlwaya abo banqwenela kakhulu . I-Biden inokuphelisa ukuvalwa kwamaSilamsi kunye nemigaqo-nkqubo yokufudukela kwelinye ilizwe kunye nemigaqo yokuba ngummi. Unokuphelisa iimfazwe ezininzi, amise ukuthengisa izixhobo ezininzi, avale iziseko ezininzi.
Okwangoku, phantse ndingabikho kwiingxoxo zezona zinto zifunekayo ngalo mzuzu wotshintsho kurhulumente- ngokuyinxenye kuba kuninzi kakhulu okufunekayo, kodwa ngokuyinxenye ngenxa yokusilela kwinkcubeko yase-US-yiyo nayiphi na ingxoxo yokunyanzela urhulumente omtsha wase-US ukuba abe lihlabathi elilungileyo ngummi.
