Milei Tells UN General Assembly Its 'Sacred Covenant Has Been Broken,' Renews Falklands Claim

Addressing the UN General Assembly in New York, President Milei said the United Nations had broken the 'sacred covenant' on which it was founded, calling it a 'useless organization' for failing to prevent chaos and violence while sheltering dictatorships. He reframed the Falklands/Malvinas dispute as a 'national cause,' arguing that self-determination does not apply because the islands' population was 'implanted' by an occupying power, and said the lack of enforcement of a 50-year-old UN resolution showed 'what is lacking is consequences.' Milei also condemned Iranian attacks on Israel, declared Argentina had 'unequivocally aligned' with the West, the US, and Israel, and called for AI regulation to stay minimal, proposing limited liability for AI firms and tax incentives.
