“Nicaragua will continue to fight for a better world of values, where human beings strive for a sustainable, just, equitative, safe and sovereign development; and where the advances of science and technology, reflected in all areas of our lives, are accessible and shared by all. We will be able to make our world a better one only once we ourselves assume, along with family and society, a steadfast commitment to peace and equality among nations and their respective societies. I conclude by declaring my hope that peace may prevail.”

“We in Nicaragua shall continue to strengthen peace, stability, governability and progress through such unprecedented proposals as our model of partnership, dialogue and consensus, which enjoys constitutional status and has helped us to mobilize the economy and achieve important progress in the fight against poverty. The National Reconciliation and Unity Government reiterates its firm commitment to this model, which unites us around the common good and reaffirms our unwavering commitment to peace, security, tranquility and democracy. In the weeks prior to our general elections, our people have demonstrated their support with high approval ratings and willingness to participate in the elections of 6 November with confidence and hope.”

“We have achieved this success through a model of partnership, dialogue and consensus under the leadership of our Government, working with the private sector and the workers themselves. We reject the proposals and initiatives put forth by the House of Representatives and Senate of the United States, as they constitute violations of international law and a breach of the Charter of the United Nations. Those legislative bodies have been involved in interventionist policy throughout history and interfered in our own sovereign political, economic and social processes. This interference is notably more intense in the election season.”

“Our people are ratifying their confidence in our socialist Christian model of solidarity, which ensures that our lives continue to improve in a safe and stable manner, in growth and in peace with our people as principal actors. Through good governance, we have prioritized economic growth, job growth, the reduction of poverty and inequality, the strengthening of gender equality and macroeconomic stability in sovereignity and security in harmony with the Earth. Nicaragua has been recognized by the World Economic Forum as one of the most successful countries in terms of gender equality and as the safest country in Central America and one of the safest in Latin America. As one of the three safest countries for investment, we have sustained economic growth of approximately 5 per cent of our gross domestic product in the past five years.”

“Nicaragua will always promote its policy of peace, unity and understanding among nations, for political and negotiated solutions to conflicts and for the right of our peoples to achieve sustainable development and well- being. As current holder of the presidency pro tempore of the Central American Integration System, we are reinforcing our integration in all fields and working together to combat the scourge of drug trafficking and organized crime. Together with El Salvador and Honduras, we are striving to make the Gulf of Fonseca a zone of peace and development. We highlight the need to eradicate threats to civic security and social order in our region with a strong and coordinated strategy against organized crime and its ramifications. In Nicaragua, our policies are focused on the human individual and the Nicaraguan family.”

“We demand the immediate return of all Arab and Palestinian territories currently occupied by Israel. We welcome and resolve to maintain our solidarity with the people of Western Sahara in their fight under the leadership of the Polisario Front. We reiterate our full solidarity with the Government and people of Syria in their fight against international terrorism in defence of their sovereignty and territorial integrity. We stress the need for a political solution negotiated among Syrians and an end to foreign intervention, including the funding and delivery of weapons to terrorist groups. It has pained us to witness the proliferation of terrorist attacks against peoples and Governments. We condemn terrorism in all its forms and manifestations.”

“Puerto Rico is Latin American and Caribbean. We demand that the colonial Power resolve this situation through dialogue and negotiation. We call on the United States of America to release the Puerto Rican patriot Oscar López Rivera as a humanitarian gesture. We express our solidarity and support for the legitimate rights of the Argentine Republic in the sovereignty dispute over the Malvinas Islands, South Georgia Islands, South Sandwich Islands and the surrounding maritime areas. The United Kingdom must immediately comply with the relevant United Nations resolutions and resume direct negotiations with Argentina. We reiterate our solidarity with the Palestinian people in their just struggle for an independent State, with East Jerusalem as its capital.”

“However, it is disappointing to note the intensification of measures that maintain the cruel, inhuman and criminal economic, financial and commercial blockade against Cuba. We reiterate our congratulations to the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela on having recently assumed the leadership of the Non-Aligned Movement. In that vein, we offer our full support to President Nicolas Maduro Moros and his legitimate Government, which continues to be the victim of aggression, assault and destabilizing policies from the exterior, coordinated with anti-democratic and oligarchic sectors from the past. We once again hail the signing of the peace agreements in Colombia between the Government and the Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia, and offer our best wishes for the peace agreements to prevail and be implemented.”

“Nicaragua, adhering to international law and taking into account the principle of damage recovery, has demanded a global compensation policy in order to address that phenomenon. We take this opportunity to reiterate our support for the just aspirations of the Republic of China on Taiwan for greater participation in United Nations specialized agencies, in accordance with the demands and needs of that brotherly nation of 23 million inhabitants, which should not be excluded from the Organization. We in Latin America and the Caribbean have reiterated our desire to assert ourselves as a zone of peace and fair development in order to achieve firm and lasting peace and social justice through dialogue and understanding. We are pleased at and welcome the restoration of relations between Cuba and the United States of America.”

“The World Meteorological Organization projects that 2016 is heading towards breaking all temperature records since records have been kept, which makes it clear that the agreements reached at the twenty-first session of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP21) in Paris failed to establish a firm starting point to address the greatest challenge facing the planet. The voluntary, non-binding formula will lead to an increase in global temperature of 3°C or more, which will have catastrophic effects on highly vulnerable countries. Many of us feel that what was agreed in Paris is not sufficient ,and we urge more ambitious actions. We note with great concern the worldwide record temperatures and little ambition to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions, which corroborates Nicaragua position’s at COP21.”

“It is urgent that we eradicate colonialism and end military interventions and aggressions in order to fully realize the right of our peoples to self-determination and development. The right to development is a right of all. The international community has yet to answer for the millions of human beings to whom that right remains a dream. Developed countries must comply once and for all with their commitments regarding official development assistance by providing additional, predictable and sufficient financial resources. Nicaragua recognizes the need to build peaceful, just and inclusive societies that provide equal access to social justice based on respect for human rights, including the right to development. Much has been said in recent days about climate change.”

“I bring greetings from the people of Nicaragua and from our President, Comandante Daniel Ortega Saavedra. We are very pleased to see a brother from Fiji, a Pacific island State, preside over the General Assembly for the very first time. He can count on Nicaragua’s support. A year ago, the international community agreed to launch the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, which offers us a historic opportunity to transform our planet and fight for a just world order so that together, in peace, solidarity and complementarity, we may advocate for the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals. Endemic poverty and inequality have become more noticeable than ever in developing and developed countries alike, especially in vulnerable and marginalized groups, including peoples living under colonial occupation and foreign intervention.”

“I hope that we united nations will fulfil that role, that we will promote dialogue, respect, understanding, sovereignty, security, peace and a future without interference or dependency, and that we will work together on an equal footing, with everyone, for everyone, for the well-being of all. Let it be so.” That ends the address that President of Nicaragua, Mr. Daniel Ortega Saavedra, asked me to deliver on his behalf to the General Assembly on 1 October 2015.”

““We come with greetings from the people of Nicaragua and their hope that the seventieth anniversary and the commitment we make will result in a transparent and deep process of reflection on how we can change and reinvent the Organization to make it democratic. Nicaragua, the land of Darío and Sandino, blessed and always free, is committed to the initiative to recreate, reinvent and recast the United Nations and adapt it to the growing demands of a democratic Organization that serves the supreme interests of sovereign security, justice and peace in the world.”

“The carbon emitters and those who are responsible for despoiling and degrading our planet and causing imbalances must recognize our losses and help to promote the recovery of Mother Earth and restore its right to health and life and the right to health and life of the peoples of the world. “Nicaragua calls for a world of solidarity and complementarity and a reshaped United Nations in which everyone’s interests are served and all Member States can listen and talk to each other on equal footing. We also call for the United Nations agencies to play a respectful, responsible and ethical role, devoid of any form of interference and intervention in the internal affairs of sovereign States.”

““Our Government and our people advocate for a world with values, in which human beings bring out the best in each other and foster the best possible conditions for a just, sustainable, equitable, secure, sovereign development and in which advances in science and technology in all areas of our lives are accessible to all and shared by all. The Government and the people of Nicaragua hope that the twenty- first session of the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change in Paris will result in a commitment to climate justice as well as concluding an indispensable policy of indemnization translated into direct and unconditional cooperation.”

“We would like to emphasize that during his presidency of the General Assembly at its sixty-third session, in 2008, Father Miguel d’Escoto Brockmann developed some ideas and proposals in fulfilment of Nicaragua’s mandate to establish the basis for a discussion of such changes in a draft document on the reinvention of the United Nations. We believe that only when the United Nations is equitable and democratic, recast, re-created and fit for the purpose of serving the world and humankind in the twenty-first century, can we tackle the great challenges of our time.”

““Our Government of national reconciliation and unity has worked to eradicate poverty, as the national and international indicators show. As we fulfil that ongoing commitment, and as our Government, country and people are committed to the rights, welfare and security of Nicaraguan families, we propose here in this Hall that the United Nations take on the responsibility of addressing the very necessary battles to come. “We must work for justice, peace, respect, dialogue and sovereign security in the world. To do that, we must bring about the necessary changes so that the Organization can serve the interests of all its Members.”

““To carry out the outstanding work under the MDGs and the implementation of the new 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (resolution 70/1), we need to restore peace, sovereign security, respect for independence, protection of the natural resources of every population and respect for the dignity and cultures of all peoples. To work for justice, equality and development requires the establishment of a culture of meeting, dialogue and consensus, and it requires recovering the essential values of humankind. It necessitates putting an end to the wars and terrorism that have been created and fuelled. It also requires the constructive work of dialogue and the respectful affirmation of sovereign security and peace.”

“There is no region on the planet where the imperialist hand has not left its mark, in the form of intrigue, aggression, manipulation and all kinds of interference directed against legitimate democratic processes, intended to weaken Governments, influence institutions, undermine harmony and engineer self-serving disruptions in the social, political and economic lives of our peoples. “In Latin America and the Caribbean, we have reiterated our wish to declare our region a 15-29664 11/25 A/70/PV.23 01/10/2015 zone of peace and equitable development and our commitment to creating conditions in each country and in the region that will enable us to achieve, through dialogue and collaboration, firm and enduring peace and justice.”

“Similarly, climate imbalance, or climate change — the unusual frequency of earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, disasters, epidemics, droughts, floods, landslides, all known calamities — have shown no mercy in the most impoverished countries. The peoples and countries that had fully implemented the MDGs, such as Libya, Syria and Iraq, have witnessed interventions and been devastated by terrorism, which was promoted to sustain imperialist invasions and wars. All those actions have been disguised as internal conflicts, brought about in an effort to seize and control our natural resources.”
2015-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 70 (2015)
“The Organization must respond in the face of that barbaric intervention in and interruption of the tranquillity and the right to prosperity in the lives of millions of families of countries and entire populations. The Organization must respond to the challenges of our time with measures and activities that reflect the supreme interests of people — respect, the inviolability of sovereignty, the recognition of national natural resources and the promotion of security, justice and peace. “We must not pass over the fact that the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) was hindered by the terrible impact of wars and terrorism, created and encouraged by the imperialist empires.”

““The forced and brutal displacement of thousands of people, including the elderly, children and entire families, from countries that were previously developed, such as Syria, Libya and Iraq, and from sub-Saharan Africa, lays bare the true nature of wars, terrorism, and the conflicts that we are experiencing. They have been created and fuelled by the greed of the empire of global capitalism. We have all said that that situation will get worse unless we act together to address and resolve the causes of so much distress, barbarism and catastrophe. “Our Organization should promote respect, peace, sovereign security, justice and solidarity among human beings.”
2015-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 70 (2015)
“We want an Organization with equal rights for all its Members and one that more effectively meets the challenges of justice; equitable, sustainable, secure and sovereign development; and, above all, peace. “The increasing greed of global capitalism, particularly in the Middle East and Africa, has caused wars and created, fostered, cultivated and exploited fanaticism and terrorism, which have, in turn, spread insecurity and destruction, and caused all kinds of crises — crises of infinite proportions and ramifications with war, food, the environmental, labour and humanitarian matters at their heart.”

“Since 24 October 1945, the United Nations has projected to the world the image of an entity that would bring peace, but, from the time of its founding until today, its stated objectives have been frustrated. “As we celebrate its seventieth anniversary, we are now 193 Member States, and the Organization was created in an entirely different world. Now, it must be transformed. We live on a planet with more people, and we are threatened by numerous and highly complex challenges. It is a world where egotism, arrogance and interference have completely altered and dismantled the right to peace, sovereign security and life for millions of human beings. We must therefore reflect deeply before reinventing, democratizing and recasting the United Nations.”

“Please receive the greetings of the people of Nicaragua and our President, Commander Daniel Ortega Saavedra. 10/25 15-29664 01/10/2015 A/70/PV.23 We wish the new President of the General Assembly success in the responsibilities that he has undertaken. Today I come to the General Assembly to express the position of Nicaragua and that of our President, Commander Daniel Ortega Saavedra. I shall therefore deliver the message on behalf of our Head of State and Government. “This year, the General Assembly at its seventieth session commemorates the seventieth anniversary of our Organization. Seven decades ago, 51 States signed the Charter of the United Nations. Nicaragua is a founding State. The world was, at that time, emerging from a terrible war, and humankind was crying out for ‘peace, peace, peace’, as our immortal poet Rubén Darío said.”
