I-UN: Ukwenza sengathi Iphikisana Nempi Iminyaka engama-70

NguDavid Swanson

Izinjongo zeNtuthuko Esimeme eziyi-17 zeNhlangano Yezizwe Ezihlangene azimane nje zizibe iqiniso lokuthi intuthuko ayisimami; bayathokoza ngakho. Enye yezinhloso ukusabalalisa ukusetshenziswa kwamandla. Okunye ukukhula komnotho. Okunye ukulungiselela isiphithiphithi sezulu (hhayi ukusivimba, kodwa ukubhekana naso). Futhi iZizwe Ezihlangene zizisingatha kanjani izinkinga? Ngokujwayelekile ngezimpi nezijeziso.

Lesi sikhungo sasungulwa eminyakeni engu-70 edlule ukuze kugcinwe izizwe, esikhundleni somkhandlu womhlaba wonke, ziphethe, futhi nokugcina abanqobi beMpi Yezwe II besesimweni esihlala njalo sokubusa umhlaba wonke. I-UN yagunyaza izimpi “zokuzivikela” kanye nanoma yiziphi izimpi “ezigunyazayo” nganoma yisiphi isizathu. Manje ithi ama-drones enze impi "into evamile," kodwa ukubhekana naleyo nkinga akukho phakathi kwezinhloso ze-17 manje ezicutshungulwayo. Ukuqeda impi akukho phakathi kwemigomo. Ukukhipha izikhali akushiwo. ISivumelwano Sokuhwebelana Ngezikhali esenziwa ngonyaka odlule sisashoda nge-United States, China, neRussia, kodwa lokho akukho phakathi kwezinto eziyi-17 ezikhathazayo “zentuthuko eqhubekayo.”

I-Saudi Arabia "isibopho sokuvikela" i-Yemen ngokubulala abantu bayo ngezikhali zase-US ayinandaba. ISaudi Arabia imatasa ibethela izingane futhi ihola uMkhandlu Wamalungelo Abantu we-UN. Khonamanjalo uNobhala Wezwe laseMelika uJohn Kerry kanye noNgqongqoshe Wezangaphandle waseTurkey bamemezele ukuthi bazoqala ukubhekana "nomjikelezo wokuphila" ogcwele wentsha eba "amaphekula." Vele, bazokwenza lokho ngaphandle kokukhuluma ngezimpi eziholwa yi-US ezihlukumeze isifunda noma irekhodi osekunesikhathi eside elasungulwa lempi yomhlaba wonke yobuphekula ekhiqiza ubuphekula.

Ngiyajabula ukuthi ngisayine le ncwadi, nawe, ongayisayina ngezansi:

I-UN Charter yagunyazwa ngo-Okthoba 24, 1945. Amandla ayo namanje awakagcwaliseki. Isetshenziselwa ukuthuthukisa kanye nokusetshenziswa kabi ukuvimbela imbangela yokuthula. Sinxusa ukuzinikela kabusha emgomweni wayo wasekuqaleni wokusindisa izizukulwane ezilandelayo esihlahleni sempi.

Nakuba i-Kellogg-Briand Pact ivimbela yonke impi, i-UN Charter ivula ithuba "lempi engokomthetho." Nakuba izimpi eziningi zingahlangabezani neziqu ezincane zokuzivikela noma ukugunyazwa yi-UN, izimpi eziningi zithengiswa njengokungathi ziyahlangabezana nalezo zimfanelo, futhi abantu abaningi bayakhohliswa. Ngemva kweminyaka engu-70 akusona yini isikhathi sokuba iZizwe Ezihlangene ziyeke ukugunyaza izimpi futhi zenze kucace emhlabeni ukuthi ukuhlasela kwezizwe ezikude akuzivikeli?

Ingozi ecashe emfundisweni “yesibopho sokuvikela” kufanele kubhekwane nayo. Ukwemukelwa kokubulawa yindiza ehlomile njengempi engeyona eyempi noma yezomthetho kumele kwenqatshwe ngokuphelele. Ukuze igcwalise isithembiso sayo, iZizwe Ezihlangene kumelwe zizinikele kabusha kula mazwi avela ku-UN Charter: “Wonke Amalungu ayoxazulula izingxabano zawo zezizwe ngezizwe ngendlela enokuthula ngendlela yokuba ukuthula nokulondeka kwezizwe zonke, nobulungisa, kungabeki engozini.”

Ukuze ithuthuke, iZizwe Ezihlangene kumelwe zibuswe ngentando yeningi ukuze bonke abantu emhlabeni babe nezwi elilinganayo, futhi kungabikho nelilodwa noma elincane amazwe acebile, athambekele empini abusa izinqumo ze-UN. Siyakunxusa ukuthi ulandele le ndlela.

World Beyond War iveze izinguquko ezithile ezizokwenza intando yeningi kuNhlangano Yezizwe Ezihlangene, futhi yenze izenzo ezingenalo udlame zibe umsebenzi oyinhloko owenziwayo. Ngicela uzifunde lapha.
