Madam Vice-President:
A dictatorship has emerged in the globalized world. The order born out of World War II to prevent a third one is being destroyed. Its foundations—the International Law, the United Nations, and the organizations of the international system—are under attack, while the “philosophy of dispossession” is proclaimed as the exceptional and supreme right of the United States of America to conquest and the use of force as an inherent, natural, and everyday way of being.
