"The report advocates giving the European Union a seat on the United Nations (UN) General Assembly and a permanent seat on the Security Council. A number of voices have been heard advocating this idea in recent times, supported by the amendments introduced by the Treaty of Lisbon, specifically, the attribution of ‘legal personality’ to the EU. These are amendments whose legitimacy we have always contested. This demand – which subverts the spirit of the organisation: an organisation of states and not of supranational organisations – is not being made with the intention of making the UN’s workings more democratic or of creating a new world order that is fairer and more peaceful.
The EU’s alliance with the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) and the United States to undertake wars and carry out acts of aggression in countries like Libya is proof of this. It is fundamental principles of the UN Charter, such as non-intervention in states’ internal affairs, respect for their sovereignty and independence, and recognition of their right to development, that the EU has been placing at risk. Sovereignty comes from the people and the peoples of Europe have not given it to this EU, which is increasingly anti-social and anti-democratic."@en1
