Colombian president proposed relocating the UN headquarters

Colombian President Gustavo Petro proposed relocating the United Nations headquarters from New York City to another location. This was reported by Zamin.uz.

This proposal arose following the cancellation of his visa by the United States. President Petro emphasized that heads of state participating in the UN General Assembly should have full immunity rights.

However, the cancellation of his visa and the refusal to allow individuals from the Palestinian government to enter the US indicate the country's non-compliance with international legal norms. Petro wrote on his social media page that the UN headquarters should not remain in New York.

According to reports, the president's visa was canceled because he took part in a pro-Palestinian demonstration held in New York. This event attracted significant attention within the scope of international politics and the activities of international organizations.

Petro's proposal calls for reconsidering the location of the UN and the independence of its operations. Additionally, this situation is prompting new discussions in international law and diplomatic relations.
