U.S. President Trump announced on Tuesday (14th) that he would stop funding the World Health Organization (WHO) and to pass a very wrong signal in the United States when the world urgently needed to cooperate with the world.The reasons for the United States to criticize the WTO can be discussed, but with its obligations to international organizations as a threat, they cannot obtain international recognition.Especially serious issues are that once the United States practice is formed, the rules and regulations of international organizations will disappear.

The new crown virus epidemic suddenly hit, and there was no defense around the world.As a subordinate organization of the United Nations, the mission and functions are to coordinate epidemic prevention and resistance from various countries and provide proposed countermeasures for member states.After sending a staff member on January 22, WHO issued a statement that warned that the new crown virus was a virus of human beings, and later organized a huge international survey delegation to Wuhan, and sent medical teams to Italy, Azerbaijan, Egypt, and Iraq.Whether you have done your job can be reviewed together after the epidemic.

Four Disputes of the WHO

Exclude allegations against China

The measures of WHO have caused the greatest controversy: after the expert meeting on January 23, it failed to reach a consensus on whether to issue an international concern for public health.On February 28, the International Inspection Troupe was issued a report on China, calling on the international community to refer to the method of responding to the epidemic in China.The above three points involve whether it is favored by China. The last point is that it only issued a warning of the epidemic situation on March 11, whether it was too late.

Regarding whether the measures for WTO are suitable and warnings or not, some countries have put forward different opinions, which is very normal. The United States has a different position on this, and it is understandable.Just as the international community has been responsible for whether the influenza is in the past, and whether the influenza is losing his duty and whether the Ipora virus is negligent, there has never been a consistent opinion, and criticism has never stopped.

While criticizing the WHO, he said that fortunately, he did not follow WHO not to restrict the guidance of international trade and tourism.His approach commented whether the epidemic experts were prevented from spreading in the United States.And Trump wants to prove that his decision is correct. He can use facts and data to explain, and use alleging WTO to unload his decision to make mistakes, and all parties look in the eyes.

As for the United States to fight against China, there is no big deal. The United States has long begun to confront China in all aspects and uses the disputed decisions of the WHO to fight against China.Just.

The most worthy of discussion is the impact of the U.S. suspension fee on the WHO. The U.S. annual fee for the WHO is $ 400 million, accounting for 15%of the World Guard's annual expenditure.The stress of fiscal constituted, which affects the support of the country's support to the medical system.However, after Trump's announcement of the suspension of the fare, Bill Gates' Foundation immediately announced that it would add $ 150 million in additional donations, which can also be regarded as a make up for the US government's disregard of international responsibility.

International organizations such as WHO may have mistakes and have room for reform. As a member country, the United States has the right to propose within the original framework that WHO will soon hold an annual member states meeting on May 17th.Discuss the various measures of WHO, and even question whether the secretary general is due to due diligence.

The United Nations Organization is a place for international politics. This is inevitable. The United States must compete for certain positions or positions. It can mobilize allies to support. China will also have a group of supporters.EssenceHowever, it must be clear that no matter whether it is a fighter or a dark fight, it is necessary to comply with the rules and deal with the articles of association of the international organization.

Big power fighting and fighting

Do not leave the international conventional

The United States this time with the suspension of conference fees as a struggle chip is contempt for international practice and rules, and disrespect for the international community. Whether Trump's abacus can start and the international community has public theory.In fact, Trump's approach is not the first time, and I believe it will not be the last time.In 2018, the World Health Organization encouraged and promoted breastfeeding. The United States opposed proposals, motivation and reasons, but it was revealed that it had been exposed to stop economic and military assistance to threaten some countries to support its position.

The United States has a lot of dissatisfaction with the World Guard's treatment of the epidemic, or to cross Chencang to attack China. It is probably the real reason for the use of roundabouts. The real reason is that the United States thinks that it will pay the most membership fees, but international organizations will not follow the United States' command sticks.The fees of the United Nations institutions are based on the economic strength of the country. As the first economic power, the United States is an international practice, not because it is particularly generous.In most international organizations such as the United Nations, the rights of each member country are equal, that is, when the conference is voted, the United States cannot have greater decision -making rights due to a multi -payment fee.

These rules are adopted by countries around the world, including the United States, and are international conventional. Even if the United States is dissatisfied, it must be observed. Why is there an exception to Trump?Because the United States failed to reflect its dominant status in some international organizations, it has withdrawn from UNESCO and Human Rights Council, and also threatened to withdraw from the World Trade Organization.There will be a decision to retreat.

Global response to the new crown virus epidemic requires international cooperation. After the epidemic, the WHO will continue to formulate international coordination plans for smallpox, malaria, AIDS, diabetes and malnutrition, etc.It also requires international cooperation. Once the status and functions of international organizations are weakened, the losses will be widely and far -reaching. The United States is concerned about the practice of losing the international organization to stop paying for the international organization.
