Marco Rubio says international system failing, unable to solve major conflicts worldwide
Because it has grown beyond its mandate, “I think multiple leaders… pointed to the fact that the international system is failing, and it’s failing.
Addressing a press conference in New York, Rubio said the international system was “not in good shape” and pointed to several conflicts and tensions around the world, including the Thailand-Cambodia conflict, the situation in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda, Sudan and Iran in the straits. “The international system is not in good shape right now… it would be great if we had a functional international system, for example, that could deal with a war between Thailand and Cambodia that occurred or the potential conflict between India and Pakistan,” Rubio said. And in the absence of that, nation-states will act in their national interest,” he said. US President Donald Trump has repeatedly claimed credit for stopping the India-Pakistan fighting and has said his administration helped broker an understanding between the two sides. Rubio said several world leaders had also raised concerns about the current international framework, arguing that it had expanded beyond its original purpose and was failing to resolve major conflicts. It has grown beyond its intent,” Rubio said.
“Right now, we don’t seem to have a functional international system that can address it.
