China’s envoy to the UN in Geneva, Chen Xu, called out the U.S. and Israel for military strikes in Iran, labeling them a violation of the UN Charter during a high-profile UN Human Rights Council event. The remarks came at a gathering marking the 80th anniversary of the UN Charter, where Chen stressed the need to uphold international law amid rising global tensions. 🌍
‘Multilateralism Under Threat’
Chen didn’t hold back, criticizing Washington’s ‘withdraw from groups, cut funding’ approach as a blow to global cooperation. ‘Military actions like these undermine the UN’s core principles,’ he said, urging nations to prioritize dialogue over force. 💬
China’s Push for Peace
Reiterating Beijing’s stance, Chen emphasized China’s commitment to ‘true multilateralism’—resolving conflicts through talks, boosting development through peace, and backing UN reforms. ‘We must work together to protect human rights and ensure shared prosperity,’ he added, rallying support for a unified global front. ✨
