Jemand, ruf Zeihan an und sag ihm, dass das der Grund ist, warum er über ne Woche Vorlesungen vor der US Administration zur Verteilung von Schlüsselressourcen gehalten hat. Oder ein Teil davon. 🙂

Zuerst mal das Intro:
I’m very interested in where we’re hoping to work with the UN is on the victims of of sexual violence and armed conflict or victims and trafficking in persons these are areas where there’s constant work to try to reform the International System but we think it’s important to stand up and say this is wrong we’ll highlight the abuses and we’ll continue to do it because we want that norm to get stronger and stronger and so I’m hoping we’ll be joined by other countries who have similar provisions in the way they stand up for sanctions so we’re putting teeth behind our decisions to say something is wrong and and that’s a thing we will do again it’s separate from whether we are actually able to identify a person whose behavior we need to modify or we can deny we can find and deny the resources but it’s important to stand up for the standards -
Jetzt zum wesentlichen Teil:
This also goes beyond specific cases of Human Rights abuses or anti-corruption it’s it’s important for the global economy one of the the struggles we’ll all face is with the green transition where we realize that many of the resources needed to build electric cars and other things are around the globe and often locked up in long-term contracts now those contracts rest on a foundation often of corrupt behavior odious labor practices horrible environmental practices and other things that make them vulnerable to something from sanctions if we just simply designated the people who hold those contracts and tried to use it as a commercial tool I don’t think we’d be adding to the legitimacy of the International system. What we’d like to see is a strong set of norms and practices ultimately rules that govern the sort of contracts that allow for the global use of these commodities also for the betterment of the people who live near where these things are brought out of the ground so changing the supply chains that currently feed what’s going to be critical for the green transition is an area where sanctions have a role a, supportive role but just - but an important role in clearing the way for an announcement of what the global standards are now out of all that whether it’s in an economic case or human rights case, environmental or whatever the point of this is that, sanctions should be a piece of establishing stronger international norms and that’s a stance that the administration of which I’m part feels the U.S needs to play a strong voice in but we can’t do it alone so we have to do this with our partners because this is not an area where one party can simply declare what the rules are so it’s an area where we work very closely with the European Union with our key allies in Europe and with other major states around the world and I think we’ll try to do more of it as we go.
Geil oder?
Hintergrund vor dem das erzählt wird ist “wir glauben, dass Russland an der “green transition” nicht beteiligt sein wird”.
