POLÍTICA INTERNACIONAL - Só os EUA é que podem vetar?

As resoluções vetadas pelos EUA na ONU de 1972 a 2006


Por Waldyr Kopezky

Os campeões de vetos no CS da ONU - então os EUA podem, mas Rússia e China não?

Olha os números do País que se auto-intitula "Paladino da Liberdade", "Defensor da Democracia e dos Direitos Humanos" no mundo - abaixo está uma lista de todas as resoluções vetadas pelos EUA no Conselho de Segurança da ONU e das resoluções de Assembléia Geral, onde os Estados UNidos votaram contra a maioria esmagadora das nações do mundo (de 1972 até 2006). Notem que, mesmo nesta amostragem parcial (não cosegui dados dos outros períodos) os EUA utilizaram seu poder de veto em nada menos do que SETENTA ocasiões - vale lembrar que somente no CS seu voto possui poder de veto total e irrestrito às resoluções, mas o voto contra tais resoluções propostas (nenhuma absurda) dá a medida do reacionarismo da potência em sua política externa. Desculpem por esse levantamento estar em inglês, pois foi feito junto ao órgão estatístico da Secretaria-Geral das Nações Unidas - traduzi-lo por inteiro levaria tempo muito tempo; mas está bem compreensível.
