This is a resolution saying humanitarian personnel in war zones should never be deliberately attacked.
The US was the only country to vote against.
However, as we have stated many times, the UN can no longer afford to waste its resources where there is little or no impact. Unfortunately, this resolution is another example of the type of performative document that does little more than waste UN and Member State resources while failing to meaningfully improve the lives of our collective citizenry.
I mean there are worse reasons to vote no. I also hate bureaucracy, but this seems like an odd resolution to make that point on…
In addition, the Trump Administration has been clear that efforts to advance radical gender ideology in the UN will not be supported
Jesus fucking christ
Before I read the statement I was sure they were gonna go with “we rejected it because it doesn’t go far enough” 😂
Does voting against this waste fewer resources than voting for it?
That entire passage was performative. It’s the performer calling the performer performative. But who is the most performative? Probably, as you pointed out, the who who brings up rAdIcAl GeNdEr IdEoLoGy
Imagine taking anything anyone from this administration says at face value. They want to be able to murder people, plain and simple.

Israel abstaining could be seen as being against it.
So could the fact that they’re routinely and deliberately doing EXACTLY what the resolution seeks to prevent.
I suspect that China knows that they can say whatever they want, and that they can do whatever they want, and that those two things have nothing to do with each other.
Saying they support humanitarian rights makes them look good.
They can sign any agreement or treaty or whatever. If it says human rights must be respected, well, that’s just ink on paper. It’s not like it’s going to change what they do in the least.
It’s more surprising that the US voted against this. Maybe it means the US ambassador to the UN is somewhat working against Trump to make him look like an amateur. Maybe it means that Trump weighed in on this directly, and this happened because he really is just that stupid.
The US has a long history of being the only developed country to not sign UN resolutions and similar global diplomatic treaties. So.etimes they push for the adoption but then dont sign themselves even
Better than the US, based on this vote anyway.

I like how everyone says China is worse than America but can never give specific reasons why.

China has a history of toppling democracies and expanding their borders permanently
So the Mexican cession is only temporary?
