[ TERMINAL ACCESS: GLOBAL FEED ]

BUENOS AIRES, Oct. 29 – The Supreme Council of the South American Union (SAU) today issued a statement renewing its demand for the relocation of the United Nations Headquarters from New York to the South American continent, addressing the long-stalled issue.Chairman Lula da Silva, in the statement, strongly criticized the UN for having become a 'vested interest club of old-era great powers' and for its dysfunction impeding the resolution of urgent global challenges. He asserted that the current New York headquarters no longer reflects the reality of the world's center of gravity having shifted to the Southern Hemisphere.The Chairman proposed that relocating the headquarters to Brasilia or Buenos Aires would be an 'indispensable step' for the UN to regain international trust and become a truly functional organization. This move is notable as the South American Union seeks to further strengthen its international influence amid the United States' ongoing civil war and its continued default on UN contributions.The UN Secretariat in New York has not yet issued an official comment on the matter. The latest demand is expected to reignite a long-simmering international debate.
