KTT DI UN Persatuan Bangsa _ Bangsa Menyentil Seluruh Kepala Negara Mengenai Solideritas

 


International-KTT Masa Depan Harus Menunjukkan 'Multilateralisme Dapat Memberikan Manfaat bagi Semua Orang, Di Mana Saja', kata Wakil Sekretaris Jenderal kepada Dewan Ekonomi dan SosialBerikut adalah teks pesan video Wakil Sekretaris Jenderal PBB Amina Mohammed pada pertemuan khusus Dewan Ekonomi dan Sosial (ECOSOC) , berjudul “Masa depan pekerjaan: menuju masyarakat global yang produktif, inklusif, dan berkelanjutan”, di Santiago hari ini:

Yang Mulia, Tuan Alberto van Klaveren, Menteri Luar Negeri Chile,

Yang Mulia, Ibu Paula Narvaez, Presiden ECOSOC,

Saya berharap dapat bersama Anda secara langsung untuk mengikuti pertemuan khusus ECOSOC yang diadakan untuk kedua kalinya dalam sejarah di Santiago.

Saya memuji Pemerintah Chile dan Presiden ECOSOC atas perencanaan dan penyelenggaraan pertemuan yang matang – di luar situasi biasanya – untuk membahas bagaimana mewujudkan janji pembangunan berkelanjutan dengan kompleksitas global dan regional saat ini.

Mari kita mulai misi ke depan, yang terinspirasi oleh semangat tahun 1951, ketika Duta Besar Hernan Santa Cruz, Wakil Tetap Chili untuk PBB, pertama kali membawa forum ini ke negara ini, dan kepemimpinan Duta Besar Paula Narvaez yang telah memimpin perjalanan kita ke negara ini. tanah air Pablo Neruda dan Violeta Parra saat ini. Deklarasi politik yang diadopsi pada KTT SDG tahun lalu merupakan kesaksian atas kapasitas kita bersama untuk mencapai hasil dalam menghadapi ketidakpastian.

Kedua, kita harus mempunyai kejelasan tujuan.

Menyelamatkan SDGs menuntut pembukaan pendanaan bagi negara-negara berkembang, mempercepat transisi pangan, energi dan digital, serta menjadikan masyarakat sebagai pusatnya.

Hal ini berarti mewujudkan Stimulus SDG untuk memfasilitasi penyesuaian struktural dan memungkinkan pendanaan mengalir ke tempat yang paling membutuhkan.

Spiral krisis – yang diperburuk sejak tahun 2020 akibat dampak COVID-19, perang di Ukraina, dan perubahan iklim – menambah urgensi agenda kita.

Tujuh ratus juta orang hidup dalam kemiskinan ekstrem; lebih dari 333 juta orang menghadapi kerawanan pangan tingkat akut; kebutuhan kemanusiaan meroket; dan dampak krisis tiga planet terus berdampak pada negara, komunitas, dan ekosistem kita.

Di tingkat lokal, konflik juga terjadi terkait sumber daya, sehingga memaksa masyarakat untuk bermigrasi – baik secara internal maupun lintas negara, sehingga memicu ketegangan antar negara dan menjadikan penderitaan warga negara menjadi semakin parah.

Dalam konteks ini, kita mendengar beberapa orang mengatakan bahwa Tujuan Pembangunan Berkelanjutan (SDGs) sudah tidak dapat dijalankan lagi. Kita harus memenuhi tuntutan tersebut dengan keyakinan dan menepati janji Agenda 2030. Ini bukan waktunya untuk mengubah arah. SDGs masih memberikan Bintang Utara.Masa Depan Dunia Kerja bergantung pada kemampuan kita untuk menjamin transisi digital yang adil; untuk menggunakan transformasi sistem pangan, dan transisi ke energi terbarukan dan ekonomi hijau, untuk menciptakan lapangan kerja dan peluang bagi perempuan dan generasi muda.

Menjadikan Masa Depan Pekerjaan sebagai masa depan yang penuh peluang tidaklah otomatis.

Tanpa tekad untuk tidak meninggalkan siapa pun, jarum tidak akan bergerak menuju ambisi kita.

Hal ini berarti mengambil tindakan untuk mengatasi tingginya tingkat pengangguran kaum muda; mengenai kesenjangan gender yang terus terjadi dalam hal upah, partisipasi pasar tenaga kerja, dan akses terhadap perlindungan sosial.

Demikian pula, digitalisasi yang tidak diatur merupakan penyebab kesenjangan.

Jika dimanfaatkan dengan baik, alat-alat digital dapat mempercepat penciptaan lapangan kerja dan membantu memperluas perlindungan sosial, seperti yang terlihat di banyak negara selama masa COVID-19 – saat kita juga menyadari pentingnya menumbuhkan masyarakat yang peduli.

Kita memerlukan kebijakan yang mengakui, mengurangi, dan mendistribusikan kembali layanan masyarakat, yang seringkali dilakukan oleh perempuan dan anak perempuan, untuk mendorong akses perempuan terhadap pekerjaan yang layak.

Menanamkan perlindungan dan kepedulian pada masyarakat kita telah terbukti menjadi solusi efektif untuk mengatasi segala bentuk kekerasan dan membangun masyarakat yang lebih aman.

Masyarakat yang inklusif, sejahtera, dan aman bukan hanya merupakan masyarakat yang menawarkan peluang bagi meningkatnya jumlah migran yang terjadi di dunia; mereka adalah masyarakat yang tidak mengusir rakyatnya.

Yang Mulia,

Dalam beberapa bulan, Anda akan bertemu di New York untuk forum politik tingkat tinggi mengenai pembangunan berkelanjutan.


Anda memiliki kesempatan untuk memanfaatkan hasil-hasil KTT SDG dan deklarasi politiknya yang kuat, dengan menggunakan platform ECOSOC berbeda yang berlangsung antara saat ini dan bulan September — mulai dari CSW [Komisi Status Perempuan} hingga forum regional mengenai pembangunan berkelanjutan, the Forum FFD [Pembiayaan untuk Pembangunan] dan pertemuan ad-hoc seperti pertemuan ini bertujuan untuk mengubah kondisi masyarakat yang paling membutuhkan.

Sasaran-sasaran yang direvisi tahun ini sangat relevan: kemiskinan, kelaparan, iklim dan kelembagaan.

Saat kita menuju KTT Masa Depan pada bulan September, Pakta Masa Depan adalah sebuah kesempatan untuk menegaskan kembali jalan menuju percepatan.

Tata kelola multilateral tidak cukup untuk menghadapi dunia yang kompleks dan cepat berubah saat ini. Kita tidak akan bisa memenuhi komitmen yang ada, atau berhasil mengatasi ancaman dan tantangan yang muncul jika kita tidak memperkuat sistem multilateral secara signifikan.

Para pemimpin dunia dapat membantu membentuk konsensus internasional baru untuk menyesuaikan lembaga-lembaga multilateral dengan realitas politik dan ekonomi saat ini.

KTT Masa Depan harus menunjukkan bahwa multilateralisme dapat memberikan manfaat bagi semua orang, di mana pun, dan menawarkan solusi bagi dunia yang lebih damai, adil, dan berkelanjutan bagi generasi mendatang.

Kepemimpinan, koordinasi dan bimbingan ECOSOC akan sangat penting dalam upaya ini. Ini adalah badan Piagam yang diberi tanggung jawab untuk mengoordinasikan sistem pembangunan PBB.

Pekerjaan Anda sangat penting untuk memastikan adanya hubungan penting antara agenda percepatan SDG, dialog kebijakan terkait, dan persiapan KTT Masa Depan.

Mari kita manfaatkan momentum KTT SDG 2023 dan tingkatkan ambisi KTT Masa Depan pada bulan September – serta usulan KTT Sosial Dunia tahun depan.

Mari kita manfaatkan momen ini dan mengerahkan semua aset di ECOSOC dan seterusnya untuk menyelamatkan SDGs. Kami masih bisa mewujudkannya.

Saya berharap Anda sukses besar selama dua hari ini. Anda dapat mengandalkan dukungan penuh saya saat kita berupaya mencapai masa depan yang adil, inklusif, dan lebih berkelanjutan untuk semua.

Terima kasih.( Dhont Boscho Amerika)

Wage growth well short of what was promised from tax reform | TheHill

Wage growth well short of what was promised from tax reform

The latest Employment Situation report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics shows weekly employee earnings have grown $75 since tax reform passed, well short of the $4,000 to $9,000 annual increases projected by President TrumpDonald John TrumpRobert De Niro, Ben Stiller play Mueller and Cohen in 'SNL' parody of 'Meet the Parents' Trump order targets wide swath of public assistance programs Comey says Trump reacted to news of Russian meddling by asking if it changed election results MORE and House Speaker Paul RyanPaul Davis RyanTrump order targets wide swath of public assistance programs Sunday shows preview: White House officials talk Syria strike Wage growth well short of what was promised from tax reform MORE (R-Wis.).  

During the three months following passage of the tax bill, the average American saw a $6.21 increase in average weekly earnings. Assuming 12 weeks of work during the three months following passage of the corporate tax cuts, this equates to a $75 increase.

Assuming a full 52 weeks of work, the $6.21 increase in weekly earnings would result in a $323 annual increase, nowhere near the minimum $4,000 promised and $9,000 potential annual increases projected by President Trump and Speaker Ryan if significant cuts were made to corporate tax rates.

Unless something drastically changes, it seems that Americans are going to have to settle for much less than the $4,000 to $9,000 projected wage increases. An extra $322 a year isn’t going to do much to pay down the $1 trillion in additional debt they are projected to take on as a result of the tax cuts.

Yet, a key part of the argument for the recently passed corporate tax cuts and more than a trillion dollars in debt was the substantial wage hike promised by the president’s Council of Economic Advisers (CEA).

From a document titled, “Corporate Tax Reform and Wages: Theory and Evidence,” on the White House’s website:

“Reducing the statutory federal corporate tax rate from 35 to 20 percent would, the analysis below suggests, increase average household income in the United States by, very conservatively, $4,000 annually.”

The document goes on to say:

“When we use the more optimistic estimates from the literature, wage boosts are over $9,000 for the average U.S. household.”

No less than Speaker Ryan’s website trumpeted the Council of Economic Advisers report claiming that on average, the proposed corporate tax cuts would result in at least a $4,000 annual increase in wages.

Now, some supporters of the tax bill may say this analysis is unfair because it is too early for the effects of the tax bill to show up in wages. By that logic, they also shouldn’t take credit for reported employment growth increases.  

Still others may point to the $1,000 bonuses announced by some companies shortly after passage of the tax bill. First, that is significantly less than the promised $4,000 to $9,000. Second, these are not wage increases; these are one-time bonuses.

Will companies pay them again, and if so when? Third, the $1,000 represents a fraction of the estimated potential company tax savings.

Using 2016 net income, 2016 effective tax rates, the new 21-percent corporate tax rate and company bonuses, we estimated company bonuses as a percentage of a number of company’s potential tax savings. The results: In many cases, the bonuses represent a mere pittance of the possible tax savings.

Navient announced that it would be giving $1,000 bonuses to 98 percent of its 6,7000 employees, paying out nearly $7 million in bonuses. While that may seem generous, it pales in comparison to Navient’s potential tax savings.

Using Navient’s 2016 net income, its 2016 effective tax rate, estimated annual tax savings of nearly $200 million and its announced bonuses, we calculated that the announced bonuses represent less than 4 percent of Navient’s potential tax savings.

Turning to the airline industry, JetBlue’s employees might be feeling blue if they realized that their $1,000 bonuses are estimated to be less than 10 percent of JetBlue’s potential tax savings, while American Airlines’ bonuses are estimated to represent less than 15 percent of its estimated potential annual tax savings

Not to be outdone, Comcast’s bonuses represent less than 8 percent of its estimated potential annual tax savings, while Walmart appears downright generous, giving an estimated $0.16 of every dollar of its estimated potential annual tax savings to employees in the form of bonuses.

What happened to the minimum $4,000 promised? I guess like many promises by politicians, they were empty. Instead, they seem to have gone to share buybacks. For the period December 2017 through February 2018, share buybacks more than doubled to $200 million.

Is a $323 wage increase and a one-time bonus of $1,000 that represents a fraction of estimated potential company tax savings worth the more than $1 trillion in additional debt placed on Americans? Is this the best Congress could do? No.

Instead, Congress could have simply made each company’s tax cut contingent on each company increasing wages. The problem is that some companies receiving tax cuts didn’t raise wages.

If Congress had made each company’s tax cut contingent on each company’s wage increases, the American people would have gotten more bang for their tax cut bucks. Additionally, this would have created a real incentive for companies to raise wages: Increase wages, get a tax cut; don’t and you won’t.

If the justification for saddling the American people with at least $1 trillion in additional debt was greater wage growth, tax cuts should have been tied to each company’s wage growth; that’s just logical. That’s getting a better deal for the American people, and that’s getting a better return on investment.

France issues report detailing evidence of Assad role in chemical attacks

France issues report detailing evidence of Assad role in chemical attacks

France declassified a report on Saturday laying out evidence that officials said proves that a chemical attack in Syria last week was carried out by the government of President Bashar Assad.

The report claims that several chemical strikes were carried out in the Damascus suburb of Douma on April 7, and that symptoms experienced by the victims — skin burns, suffocation and other breathing difficulties, among other markers — were consistent with the effects of chlorine gas.

"Reliable intelligence indicates that Syrian military officials have coordinated what appears to be the use of chemical weapons containing chlorine on Douma, on April 7," the report, released by the French Foreign Ministry, reads.

The report also states that the Syrian government has carried out a number of chemical weapons strikes since April 4, 2017 — the same day a chemical attack in Syria's northern Idlib province left more than 80 civilians dead.

The U.S. issued an assessment on Friday night pointing to the Syrian government's role in the alleged chemical attacks in Douma.

That report cites "multiple media sources, the reported symptoms experienced by victims, videos and images showing two assessed barrel bombs from the attack, and reliable information indicating coordination between Syrian military officials before the attack."

The assessment also suggests that the Syrian government not only used chlorine in the attack on Douma, but that reported symptoms were also consistent with exposure to sarin, a deadly nerve agent.

The French and U.S. assessments came hours after leaders in Washington, Paris and London authorized "precision strikes" on targets in Syria believed to be associated with the country's chemical weapons arsenal.

Syria and its allies, Russia and Iran, have denied that Assad's government used chemical weapons, and have sought to blame both foreign actors and militant groups for staging the attacks in Douma.

Russia has accused the U.S. and its allies of failing to produce adequate evidence of the Syrian government's role in the chemical attack.

The Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, the international chemical weapons watchdog, launched an investigation into the alleged chemical strikes on Douma on Saturday.

The allied strikes on Friday were cast by U.S. officials, not as a punishment for Assad's government, but as a means to eradicate Syria's chemical stockpile and production capabilities.

Lt. Gen. Kenneth McKenzie, the director of the Joint Staff, said Saturday that while the allied attacks dealt a blow to Syria's chemical weapons program, Damascus likely retained "residual" elements of its chemical arsenal.

Mueller can prove Cohen made secret trip to Prague before the election: report

Special counsel Robert MuellerRobert Swan MuellerSasse: US should applaud choice of Mueller to lead Russia probe MORE’s team has proof that President TrumpDonald John TrumpRobert De Niro, Ben Stiller play Mueller and Cohen in 'SNL' parody of 'Meet the Parents' Trump order targets wide swath of public assistance programs Comey says Trump reacted to news of Russian meddling by asking if it changed election results MORE’s personal lawyer made a secret trip to Prague during the 2016 campaign despite his denial that he'd ever been there, McClatchy reported Friday.

It is not clear why Michael Cohen was in Prague. The claim he visited was originally made in a dossier compiled by former British spy Christopher Steele.

Cohen denied that he'd ever been to Prague "in my life" after the dossier's publication, tweeting a photo of his passport.

McClatchy reported that Cohen entered the country through Germany in August or early September 2016, which does not require a passport stamp.

The dossier claimed that, in Prague, Cohen met with a prominent ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin, Konstantin Kosachev, but it is not clear whether Mueller has evidence of such a meeting.

Koschahev was one of 24 Russian oligarchs slapped with U.S. sanctions earlier this month.

If such a meeting happened, it would be further evidence of ties between Trump associates and Putin. The dossier also claims that Cohen, among others, was deeply involved in a “cover up and damage limitation operation in the attempt to prevent the full details of Trump’s relationship with Russia being exposed.”

Neither Cohen nor Mueller commented on the story to McClatchy.

The report comes on the same day that U.S attorneys confirmed that they are investigating Cohen for criminal activity.

The FBI raided Cohen's office and home on Monday, in part on a referral from Mueller's office.
