President Abdulla Yamin Abdul Gayoom has said that the U.N. acts unjustly with small nations when it comes to small matters aside from major regulations.

Speaking as the Chief Guest at the ceremony at Hotel Jen tonight celebrating two years to President Yamin’s Foreign Policy and 50 years as a member of the United Nations, President Abdulla Yamin said that shadow of the problems with the U.N. is relative to the Maldivian Foreign Policy and the events in the country.

President Yamin said that the U.N. was founded as a humanitarian organization but today the international community knows that the U.N. is incapable of stopping the tyranny and cruelty being inflicted across the globe. The President said that a lot of people note that the democratic system at the U.N. no longer exists.

President Yamin said that the U.N. cannot provide a solution even when small countries operate outside their charter’s policy while remaining as member countries.

“We are seeing, aside from big regulatory cases, with small countries being treated unjustly. In the U.N. are the same problems in the international trade organization.” President Yamin said.

President Yamin said that even with the challenges, the Maldives is going forward with the U.N. while seeing it as the only organization for the safety of the world. And he said that the differences are from the member countries and not the U.N. itself.

“That is why big countries get big justice and small countries get small justice. I don’t believe this reality can be changed.” President Yamin said.

The President said that the Maldives voted and defended the neighboring countries when they were facing big challenges. And so, the President said that he wishes the U.N. members to “look at the Maldives fairly.” President Yamin said that specific countries having the license to meddle with civil affairs of the countries would not have and license in the country.

“We have to believe every one’s own rights and own things have to be respected by other states. If one is meddling in the other’s civil affairs, there won’t be peace in the world.” President Yamin said.

Noting that foreign policy of this government is not very complicated, President Yamin said that the Maldives want to keep a close relationship with neighboring countries and the U.N. countries and said that out of the neighboring countries, Maldives closest to India.
