By Sir Ronald Sanders<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

On September 23, 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump used his address to the 80th session of the UN General Assembly to question the Organization\u2019s purpose. He is not alone; leaders worldwide have asked the same question. \u201cThe UN has such tremendous potential,\u201d he said, but it is \u201cnot even coming close,\u201d and \u201cempty words don\u2019t solve war.\u201d On that point, many would agree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, many countries contend that the UN falls short because real control rests with a few powerful states that wield veto power in the Security Council to serve perceived national interests. In consequence, the principles of the UN Charter  – and at times international humanitarian law – are set aside, raising serious doubts about the system\u2019s fairness.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

As the General Assembly met, the point was driven home. By September 25, 2025, Israel had intensified operations in Gaza City and elsewhere, with rising casualties, mass displacement, and a deepening humanitarian emergency. The Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) confirmed famine in Gaza Governorate on August 22 and projected expansion to other areas by late September.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Global anger over the war and civilian suffering has broadened diplomatic responses. In the days around UNGA, the United Kingdom, Canada, France, Australia, and Portugal recognized the State of Palestine. Taken together, 157 of the UN\u2019s 193 member states  – about 81% – now recognize Palestine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his address, President Trump argued that recognizing Palestine would \u201creward\u201d Hamas for the October 2023 attacks. By contrast, most countries that spoke, including Caribbean states, condemned Hamas while reaffirming that Palestinians have a right to statehood alongside Israel. Hostage releases and an end to indiscriminate attacks were widely demanded, as was a political track that pursues the institutionalization of two states.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Countries also stressed that grave concerns about violations of international humanitarian law must not be conflated with antisemitism. Criticism of the policies and actions of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu\u2019s government is not a commentary on Jewish people anywhere. The suffering and perseverance of Jewish communities are part of humanity\u2019s collective memory; invoking that history to shield present policies from scrutiny is unjustifiable and diminishes the fight against antisemitism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps the clearest divergence between President Trump and most UNGA speakers – especially small states – was on climate change. The President called climate change \u201cthe greatest con job ever perpetrated on the world\u201d. For small islands, this is not ideology but survival: stronger storms, rising seas, and soaring insurance costs are already eroding economies. As Palau\u2019s President Surangel Whipps Jr. put it during UNGA week, \u201cThose with the greatest responsibility and the greatest capacity to act must do far more,\u201d noting that an advisory opinion by the International Court of Justice grounds this in international law.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Talking about CO\u2082 emissions, the main driver of climate change, President Trump argued that Europe\u2019s cuts had been \u201cwiped out\u201d by a global rise \u201cmuch of it coming from China,\u201d adding that \u201cChina now produces more CO\u2082 than all the other developed nations in the world.\u201d Small states acknowledge the point, saying that it reinforces the case for all major emitters to cut. Notably, on September 24, 2025, China announced a target to cut its greenhouse-gas emissions by 7\u201310% below peak levels by 2035.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Small states, contributing least to CO\u2082 emissions yet suffering most, would agree with UN Secretary-General Ant\u00f3nio Guterres, who put the issue plainly at a UNGA climate meeting: \u201cThe science demands action. The law commands it. The economics compel it. And people are calling for it.\u201d He warned that current pledges are inadequate and linked the climate crisis to a wider risk – multipolarity without effective multilateral institutions \u201ccourts chaos.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This exchange signals tougher terrain across UN institutions, including the Paris Agreement and COP talks. The U.S. has stepped back, while China\u2019s assessed share of the UNFCCC budget is set to rise under the newly approved 2026\u201327 budget. This is a bureaucratic increase, not a new voluntary climate-finance pledge. Even so, U.S. policymakers should worry that their absence leaves more space for others to shape norms and agendas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Small states, including in the Caribbean, want the United States engaged, not only for its resources, but because U.S. climate impacts spill across the neighbourhood, driving up insurance and transport costs that already-strained Caribbean and Central American economies struggle to absorb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Caribbean states share President Trump\u2019s often-stated desire for world peace. They welcomed his remarks on the war in Ukraine, following a meeting with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in the margins of the UNGA. He said he now believes Ukraine can take back all its territory and urged quicker progress. Any U.S. initiative to secure such a development would be welcomed across the Caribbean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, is the UN still of value to small Caribbean states, despite big-power domination of Security Council decisions, influence over the UN\u2019s budget and priorities, and sharp differences on vital matters? The answer is still yes, but with clear limits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UN remains the only place where all states are present, where the record is public, and where small countries can put their concerns on the agenda and \u2013 if they are brave and astute  – question major powers. Specialized agencies still deliver concrete services that benefit small states. But credibility is strained when rules are applied unevenly, financing is volatile, science is treated as optional, and equity of membership is denied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Small states do not have the luxury of disengagement. The task is to use what still works, while being clear that constraints come from members, not the Charter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
