'UN General Assembly is World’s Last Chance' - US Analyst

The current 70th UN General Assembly in New York has the possibility to tackle many global issues and may be the world’s last chance at survival, Helga Zepp-LaRouche, founder of Schiller Institute, wrote.

The anniversary General Assembly kicked off at UN headquarters in New York on September 15. During the year, nearly 170 issues will be addressed at the General Assembly.

According to Zepp-LaRouche, more and more people worldwide are profoundly worried over what only a few prominent people are saying publicly.

"Where is the institution that can still intervene, virtually at the last minute? Where is the world court before which this great crime can be avenged? Are we, as mankind, collectively able to deflect from a course which is threatening to lead to our own destruction?" she wrote. "If there is any such institution at all, then it is the upcoming General Assembly of the United Nations in New York."

"A large number of heads of state and government will participate in this meeting from September 24 to October 1. Manhattan, during this time, will be the place where the fate of mankind will be debated before the eyes of the entire world and a vision for a better future can be agreed upon—or, to put it another way: The precondition will be set for whether we will have a future at all," Zepp-LaRouche wrote in her article entitled "Urgent Appeal for Action to the Heads of Government: The UN General Assembly Is the World's Last Chance!"

According to the analyst, the Un General Assembly is possibly the last opportunity to solve global crises.

She added that many global problems could be resolved if the US and the European Union awoke to the necessity of cooperation with BRICS, "to build up the regions of the world that are currently breaking apart under conditions of war, starvation, water shortages, epidemics, and terrorism."

"Geopolitics and the idea of solving conflicts through wars […] must be replaced with the idea of the common aims of mankind, for whose realization all nations on this planet must participate," the analyst concluded. "Only in that way will we survive as a species."
