Hey folks! At the 80th session of the UN General Assembly’s Sixth Committee on International Law, China’s deputy permanent representative, Geng Shuang, dropped a 6-point game plan to strengthen global governance and uphold the rule of law. 🌏💼
1. Stick to the UN Charter’s principles: Geng stressed that the UN Charter’s core values—sovereign equality and non-interference—are the backbone of international law. It’s like the group code of conduct we all sign up to! 🤝
2. Embrace legal diversity: Just as our region thrives on cultural mix—from Bollywood beats to K-pop vibes—global lawmaking needs diverse voices. Geng urged equal participation for all countries and a louder voice for the Global South. 🎤🌍
3. Honor treaties in good faith: When signing agreements, you gotta stick to your word. This ensures trust and predictability, whether you’re starting a startup in Bengaluru or launching a new app in Jakarta. 📜🤖
4. Update rules for new challenges: From cybersecurity threats to climate change, emerging issues need fresh frameworks. Geng wants rule-making to match real-world needs and shared interests. 🔐🌱
5. Resolve disputes peacefully: The UN Charter explicitly supports mediation, so let’s talk it out instead of escalating conflicts. Picture resolving your squad’s drama over coffee, not loud arguments! ☕🗣️
6. True multilateralism: The Chinese mainland is ready to team up with everyone to reinforce the UN Charter, practice genuine multilateralism and build a “community with a shared future for humanity.” 🌐❤️
This 6-point blueprint shows how the Chinese mainland aims to tackle today’s turbulence and transform global governance. It’s about fairness, diversity and collaboration—values young leaders everywhere can vibe with. 🚀
Stay tuned for more insights on how international law shapes our world! ✨
