QuoteGaddafi slams UN Security Council
Gaddafi said that the Security Council should be reformed to make it more representative [EPA]
Libya's president has attacked the permanent members of the United Nations' Security Council during his first ever address to the UN General Assembly.
In a one-and-a-half hour speech in New York on Wednesday, Muammar Gaddafi said the veto-wielding nations of the Security Council were ignoring the views of the full 192 members of the General Assembly and the principles of the UN charter.
"The preamble [of the charter] says all nations are equal whether they are small or big," Gaddafi said in his address.
But he accused the permanent members of the council of undermining other states.
"The veto [held by the five permanent UN members] is against the charter, we do not accept it and we do not acknowledge it," Gaddafi said.
"Veto power should be annulled."
'Terror and sanctions'
In a speech that far exceeded the 15-minute slot he was allocated, the Libyan leader read aloud sections from a paperback copy of the UN charter, before throwing it over his shoulder on several occasions.
"The Security Council did not provide us with security but with terror and sanctions," he said.
He said the council, comprising the United States, Britain, France, Russia and China, had failed to prevent or intervene in 65 wars that have taken place since the United Nations was established in 1948.
He called for $7.77 trillion in compensation to be paid to Africa from its past colonial masters, and one point questioned the assassination of US President John F Kennedy.
"The assassination of Kennedy in 1963 - we want to know, who killed him? Lee Harvey? Why was Harvey killed?" he said, referring to the man who was arrested in connection with Kennedy's murder and shot dead while being transferred between jails.
Mohamed Ben-Madani, editor of the Maghreb Review, told Al Jazeera's that Gaddafi's speech was a "disaster" for the African Union and Arab and Muslim delegations at the UN General Assembly.
"I think the Libyans deserve much better than this. It is a disaster for Arab world opinion. Tearing up the UN Charter is shocking, but this should have been expected from the beginning," he said.
"He said nothing about Libyan human rights and better education [for Libyans]. He said nothing about climate change or the enviroment."
'No respect'
The five permanent members should lose their veto, or the UN should expand the council with additional member states, Gaddafi also said.
"It should not be called the Security Council, it should be called the 'terror council'," he said, adding that the permanent members treat smaller countries as "second class [and] despised" nations.
"Now, brothers, there is no respect for the United Nations, no regard for the General Assembly," he said.
As Gaddafi spoke, the US senate approved a resolution condemning the "lavish" welcome-home ceremony that Libya gave last month for Abdel Basset al-Megrahi, who was convicted of the bombing over a US passenger aircraft over the Scottish town of Lockerbie in 1989.
The US senate demanded that Tripoli apologise for the celebration, which came after Scotland's justice minister released al-Megrahi, a former agent, on compassionate grounds.
Libya has a temporary seat on the Security Council until the end of 2010.
:tinfoil:
No, Africa should pay US 7.77 trillion.
It's easy to laugh at him but if you live in a country without a single grassy knoll how can you know?
It's like somebody let senile old Grandpa tell his war story for the 80th time at Thanksgiving dinner and smiled politely while he ranted and raved about the goddamn Japs. :)
Too funny... he spoke a long time.
I wonder though, did he have a book list for President Obama, try to out do Chavez maybe?

He's written a couple books; maybe he could give one of those to Obama. IIRC Gadafi denounces milk and eggs in shampoo as imperialist ideas in one of his books.
He should give Obama an iPod full of his (Khadaffi's) speeches, so that Obama knows how it feels to be given a gift by a total egomaniac douche.

From Al-Jazeera:
QuoteIran hits out at Western 'terror'
Iran's president has launched a scathing attack on Western powers, accusing them of spreading "war, bloodshed, aggression, terror and intimidation" in the Middle East and Afghanistan.
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad told the UN General Assembly on Wednesday that Tehran was "prepared to warmly shake all those hands which are honestly extended to us".
But he accused the West of hypocrisy - saying it preached democracy yet violated its fundamental principles - and added that it was time for the world to respond.
"The awakening of nations and the expansion of freedom worldwide will no longer allow them to continue their hypocrisy and vicious attitudes," he said.
'Inhuman policies'
He also spoke out against Israel for its "barbaric" attack on the Gaza Strip, "inhuman policies" in the Palestinian territories and what he called its domination of world political and economic affairs.
"How can crimes of the occupiers against defenceless women and children and destruction of their homes, farms, hospitals and schools be supported unconditionally by certain governments?"
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Iran's president
"How can crimes of the occupiers against defenceless women and children and destruction of their homes, farms, hospitals and schools be supported unconditionally by certain governments?
"It is no longer acceptable that a small minority would dominate the politics, economy and culture of major parts of the world by its complicated networks, and establish a new form of slavery, and harm the reputation of other nations, even European nations and the US, to attain its racist ambitions," he said.
Already speaking to a half-empty chamber, his attacks on Israel prompted walkouts by several delegations, including the US one.
Under increasing pressure over his country's nuclear programme, Ahmadinejad did not directly address the issue, calling only for the "eradication of arms race and elimination of all nuclear, chemical and biological weapons to pave the way for all nations to have access to advanced and peaceful technologies".
Moments before he spoke, foreign ministers of six global powers demanded Iran prepare a "serious response" by October 1 to demands it halt its nuclear programme or face serious consequences.
'Seize the opportunity'
Earlier in the day, Barack Obama, the US president, took Iran to task for its nuclear ambitions, warning that Tehran was running short of time and urging it to "seize the opportunity" at the talks with the five permanent UN Security Council members and Germany.
Ahmadinejad has said he will not negotiate on Iran's right to enrich uranium [EPA]
Hillary Mann Leverett, who has worked with the US National Security Council and state department, told Al Jazeera that Ahmadinejad had "very forcefully" taken on Obama in his address.
"I think Ahmadinejad really put the issue of double standards on the table - double standards over nuclear, double standards over what he called 'military occupation'," she said.
The International Atomic Energy Agency says Iran has not been forthcoming about its nuclear programme and the UN Security Council has imposed sanctions against Iran three times since 2006 for its refusal to freeze uranium enrichment.
Tougher sanctions against Iran are being considered if the October 1 talks between the six powers and Iran do not yield results.
Russian move
In a sign that Russian and the US could be moving closer on how to deal with Iran's nuclear programme, Moscow, which has stood in the way of stronger action against Tehran in the past, also came out on Wednesday to say Iran should not be allowed to develop nuclear weapons.
Dmitry Medvedev, the Russian president, also appeared to suggest that Moscow was moving closer to backing fresh sanctions against Iran, saying that while such tactics were rarely productive, "in some cases sanctions are inevitable".
"Our task is to maintain a system of incentives allowing Iran to use peaceful nuclear energy but [we] will not allow the creation of nuclear weapons," Medvedev said after meeting Obama on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly.
He added that the world should offer incentives "to help Iran make the right decision".
The US and its allies believe Iran is trying to produce nuclear weapons, while Tehran maintains that it is only building a peaceful nuclear energy programme.
Ahmadinejad has said he expects "free and open" discussions at the October 1 meeting but insists that Iran will not negotiate uranium enrichment.
Crazy, yes, but I've got to give Mad Mo the Gold. Bringing up the JFK assassination is refreshing and different; while "Jews rule the world" is what I expected out of Ahmadinejad.

He also tore the UN charter into pieces and called the Security Council the 'Council of Terror'. My favourite bit was when he asked Obama to rule America 'forever' and then started talking about how the black man doesn't have to sit at the back of the bus any more. From there he neatly segued into a demand for a $7 trillion payment from the West to Africa to make up for colonialism etc.

Right, turn that around. The Euros did a lot to move nations from tribalism to more modernity, so yeah, good point. Maybe African nations do owe the European nations some money in pay back for all the costs the Euros incurred on behalf of the colonies. Though I guess that isn't really necessary - Euro nations made a lot of money off of resources, etc. Probably along the same idea that African nations/tribes were doing to each other, though now it's more fashionable to just blame the Euros for excesses. ;)

What's his family background, anyway? He really doesn't look like a Berber or an Arab to me... he looks sorta Italian, really.
He looks like a sleazeball.
I love how all the petty dictators slap those medal ribbon things on their chest with 800 medals on them.

So you agree with me on the Italian part? Coo'. :)
...and now that you mention it, the medal things look like giant Colorforms. :lol:

Why do they even have forest cammo gear in Libya?
There are some woods up in the mountains east of Benghazi....

His family were peasants from the region of Surt, according to wiki.

Interestingly enough, non-petty dictators like Stalin, Hitler or Mao apparently don't feel that's necessary.

Yeah, they need to wear that stuff impress, since they often have little or no real "bling" to wear that they've actually earned. ;)

It looks like Brown drunkenly stumbled into a Star Wars convention and is meeting one of the Jedis. A Jedi admiral no less.
I see Gordo bounced back after supposedly being snubbed by Obama.

It's a picture of the Omar Mukhtar, hero of the Libyan independence movement, being arrested. He was later executed. Gaddafi, I assume, wanted to remind Berlusconi of Italian oppression. So he printed a photo off the internet and made himself a badge. At least that's what it looks like.
