🇫🇮 Finland - President Addresses United Nations General Debate, 79th Session |

[@joeberi1551]

Three great points for peace and security 1. Five more permanent members (2 Africa, 1 South America, 2 Asia) 2. No veto power 3. Members who violate international laws, their voting rights S/B suspended

[@vesakaitera2831]

@@derekgraziano9499, it depends, what criteria one is using. Stubb made a great spech, but so did also the Brittish secretary of state. Those two speeches were totally different. But we have to remember, that Finland is a small country measured on population, 12 times smaller than UK. So Stubb would not have been wise, if he would have had a similar aggressive tone in his speech as the Briton had. The starting points were different and the modus vivendi of both speeches was different.

[@KyökkänäKyökki]

Lähteköön tsubb siitä liikkeelle, että ukrainaa ei tueta SUOMALAISTEN verorahoilla kansanmurhaan. Sama koskee israelia. Lähdetään tästä liikkeelle, että tappamista ei tueta.

[@Kraddakk]

He's been promoting sending military aid to Ukraine, that's quite the opposite of peace.

[@52Tenor]

@@Kraddakk Absolutely not! When peace is broken, it needs to be restored. That was what President Stubb was talking about. Members is the UN Security Council that violates the agreed rules of the UN, should lose their voting rights. There is one such member in that conflict. Waging war should with other sovereign states, should not lead to advantages, but should be punished. That is what Finland, and a lot of other states try to do. To always let bullies have their way, is not to gain long lasting peace.

[@Kraddakk]

​@@52Tenor Yes, same words have been said for thousands of years - yet nothing changes. How about we play another game: To understand what peace is - you have to know the opposite of that - if we remove the opposite, the war - peace will cease to exist as well.

Tack

[@Gittas-tube]

@stockholmfun 👩🏼‍🌾🏞️🇫🇮 Tackar, tackar. Alexander Stubb, vår nye president, är absolut rätt man på rätt plats. Vi är jättenöjda med honom. Han och hans brittiska fru var nyligen på det traditionella första besöket till Sverige där de bl.a. träffade kung Carl XVI Gustav och drottning Silvia. Alexander är bara femtio år gammal. Han behärskar samma fem språk som jag gör, dvs. svenska (modersmål 1), finska (Stubbs modersmål 2), engelska, franska och tyska. Dessutom kan han litet italienska. Båda två förstår vi norska och skriven danska tack vare svenskan. Stubb har studerat vid flera utländska universitet och kan titulera sig professor. Vi gillar att ha en ungdomlig, språkkunnig och väl utbildad president!

[@thusspokezarathustra]

I have great respect for Stubb, he has a deep rooted understanding of history and he has a great gift/ability to simplify complex matters in short and precise 3 point statements of fact. Great orator, brilliant mind. Wish more leaders had his capacity to think logically and communicate ideas clearly. It was a pleasure listing to his series of lectures just before he became President. He had comprehensive insights into the Russian-Ukraine conflict and the tensions/reasons behind the conflict. The UN really would benefit greatly having a person of his stature at its head.

[@Gittas-tube]

@thusspokezarathustra 🇫🇮 🙏 Thank you for your kind words about our new president, Alexander Stubb. He represents today's Finland just as our previous prime minister Sanna Marin and her government of 12 women and 7 men did during the difficult time of the covid pandemic. Alex, as we call him informally, is only the second president of Finland whose mother tongue is Swedish. The first one was Carl Gustav Mannerheim, Marshall of Finland, and a polyglot like Alexander Stubb. Alex is perfectly bilingual in Finnish and Swedish, as many of us Finland-Swedes are. Our mother tongue Swedish allows us to learn English, German, and other Germanic languages fairly easily and makes Norwegian and Danish easier to speak or understand, as well. We're often fluent in at least one additional language which tends to be French, Spanish or Italian. The CV of President Stubb is impressive and explains why he comes off as being very knowledgeable in his chosen field. He has matured quite a lot during these last 20 years, so let's hope that he'll be able to make a difference or at least be able to motivate a change for the better in international politics within the UN and elsewhere.

Excellent speech and president from a excellent country! 🇳🇴❤️🇫🇮

[@davidmallia628]

This president put it pure, and simple. The UN needs to be reformed. And the points he mentioned, to do so, are imperative, notably the removal of the veto, enjoyed by the few, who have, repeatedly, and blatantly, used it abusively. The representation of all continents on the security council, and the suspension of voting rights to members in violation of UN charter, are also imperative. But how can these reforms be achieved? What executive exists to make this reform, of the UN, take place?

[@pinchebruha405]

So the Un Charter to allow mass migration at the expense of citizens is ok? What about states continents that violate humans rights even being allowed to have a voice; China?

[@Palteen87]

None. If the UN is outdated then something new will be created when the right time comes. But for the time being it’s better to have a bad UN than nothing or than trying to reform anything. Any reformations will just end the UN whilst nothing else is in place. What Stubb has suggested is very dangerous to the world. Small nations should stay back

[@Gittas-tube]

@davidmallia628 Good question. The General Assembly, perhaps? Then work groups. The speech contained some good ideas, but I wonder if the world is ready. A common will must be present to choose to bring the UN back to its roots and ideals. Time is running out, and there are just two choices, just as president Alexander Stubb said. The pull towards a fragmented world of greed and egotism is strong and to see the benefit for all, not to mention altruism, escapes most of us. So, even if Stubb's proposals seem overly optimistic - as he himself mentioned - we need to hear them spoken out loud, if for no other reason than at least to show us that there are more than one 'choice'.
