Russia Today - September 27, 2013
In his dramatic speech in New York, Bolivian President Evo Morales
called for the UN to be moved out of the US and for Barack Obama to be
tried for crimes against humanity. Speaking to RT, Morales explained his
controversial proposals.
In his most controversial
demand, Morales said that Obama should face an international
trial with human rights watchdogs among the judges. The Bolivian
president accused his US counterpart of instigating conflicts in
the Middle East to make the region more volatile and to increase
the US’s grip on the natural resources it abounds in. He gave
Libya as an example of a country where “they arranged for the
president to be killed, and they usurped Libya’s oil.”
“Now they are funding the rebels that fight against presidents
who don’t support capitalism or imperialism,” Morales told
Eva Golinger of RT’s Spanish sister channel, Actualidad. “And
where a coup d’état is impossible, they seek to divide the people
in order to weaken the nation – a provocation designed to trigger
an intervention by peacekeeping forces, NATO, the UN Security
Council. But the intervention itself is meant to get hold of oil
resources and gain geopolitical control, rather than enforce
respect for human rights.”
The US also operates in the same imperialist way outside the
Middle East, Morales argued. At the General Assembly Obama said
that the US “is prepared to use all elements of our power,
including military force, to secure these core interests” in
the Middle East. Among the core interests, he
mentioned “the free flow of energy from the region to the
world.” Morales said that Obama’s statement should make
any country possessing natural resources worried.
