Argentina has parted ways with the United Nations Pact of the Future, commonly called the 2045 Agenda. The resolution, which was approved by 193 countries by the UN General Assembly in New York on Monday, includes 56 different actions engineered to face the “greatest challenges of our time,” including social media censorship, artificial intelligence (AI) regulation, climate change, and the strengthening of global governance structures.

Foreign Minister Diana Mondino argued that earlier governments had proposed Argentina’s adhesion to this pact and that many points now clashed with the country’s new determination. However, Mondino stressed that they had proposed changes to the document that were not considered. She stated:

Nevertheless, we proposed constructive actions that were not always taken into account, and that led to us deciding to dissociate ourselves from the pact.

Mondino also declared that Argentina would continue to work towards solving the new Humanity’s challenges, but reinforced the need to have “wings” for peaceful growth.

This decision upholds the views of President Javier Milei, who has declared before that he would not favor international globalist agendas that limit Argentina’s social and economic freedom.

Other countries also rejected the pact including Russia, Venezuela, Nicaragua, North Korea, and Belarus. There is still uncertainty about if this disavowal will bring any sanctions or repercussions to these countries. President Javier Milei is expected to refer to this subject during his speech before the UN General Assembly on Tuesday. Milei is already in the U.S. and rang the New York Stock Exchange’s opening bell on Monday.
