UNITED NATIONS, Sept 25 (Reuters) - Czech President Vaclav Klaus on Saturday criticized U.N. calls for increased "global governance" of the world's economy, saying the world body should leave that role to national governments.

The solution to dealing with the global economic crisis, Klaus told the U.N. General Assembly, did not lie in "creating new governmental and supranational agencies, or in aiming at global governance of the world economy."

"On the contrary, this is the time for international organizations, including the United Nations, to reduce their expenditures, make their administrations thinner, and leave the solutions to the governments of member states," he said.

Klaus appeared to be responding to the address of the Swiss president of the General Assembly, Joseph Deiss, who said on Thursday at the opening of the annual gathering of world leaders in New York that it was time for the United Nations to "comprehensively fulfill its global governance role."

Deiss suggested the world body should get more involved in economic and financial issues and not leave them solely in the hands of forums like the Group of 20 club of key developed and developing nations.

Klaus, a free-market economist who oversaw a wave of privatization in the 1990s after communism collapsed in his homeland, also said the world was "moving in the wrong direction" in combating the economic crisis.

"The anti-crisis measures that have been proposed and already partly implemented follow from the assumption that the crisis was a failure of markets and that the right way out is more regulation of markets," he said.

Klaus said that was a "mistaken assumption" and it was impossible to prevent future crises through regulatory interventions and similar actions by governments.

That will only "destroy the markets and together with them the chances for economic growth and prosperity in both developed and developing countries," he said.

The Czech president, a vocal skeptic of global warming, said the United Nations should also keep out of science, including climate change. U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has made fighting climate change one of his top priorities.

Klaus is right about the UN in many ways, but "free market ideology" is something for naive people which don't know how things work in real life - if they really belief in it.

The Liberalcapitalist and Financial system must be changed, what happens now is just what the Plutocratic Oligarchy wants or allows, nothing which will change anything about the fundamental problems of the World's financial and Western political system.

It is a pity that his valuable criticism being partly discredited by his failures, yet it's good that he speaks up against the certain aspects of the coming regulations, which are in fact just new means for controlling nations and people - but not for their good, but the profits and power of the Capitalist Plutocratic Oligarchy, which is the core of the real problem we're facing, even if it's about the handling of the "Global Warming" and other issues of "international significance"...

UNITED NATIONS, Sept 25 (Reuters) - Czech President Vaclav Klaus on Saturday criticized U.N. calls for increased "global governance" of the world's economy, saying the world body should leave that role to national governments.

The solution to dealing with the global economic crisis, Klaus told the U.N. General Assembly, did not lie in "creating new governmental and supranational agencies, or in aiming at global governance of the world economy."

The solution is that the countries who are having 92% of world resources in their possession give, or better to say, allow to use for their own purposes to the nations from which they are taking it.

"On the contrary, this is the time for international organizations, including the United Nations, to reduce their expenditures, make their administrations thinner, and leave the solutions to the governments of member states," he said.

Basically, he slapped over the face USA and UK here ?

Klaus appeared to be responding to the address of the Swiss president of the General Assembly, Joseph Deiss, who said on Thursday at the opening of the annual gathering of world leaders in New York that it was time for the United Nations to "comprehensively fulfill its global governance role."

UN role was to stop conflicts as far as I know, not to decide who will have dinner and who will not.

Deiss suggested the world body should get more involved in economic and financial issues and not leave them solely in the hands of forums like the Group of 20 club of key developed and developing nations.

Dear Lord, what is he, Super Hick from Alan Ford ?

Klaus, a free-market economist who oversaw a wave of privatization in the 1990s after communism collapsed in his homeland, also said the world was "moving in the wrong direction" in combating the economic crisis.

"The anti-crisis measures that have been proposed and already partly implemented follow from the assumption that the crisis was a failure of markets and that the right way out is more regulation of markets," he said.

Free-market strategy led to this situation. Allowing small and poor countries to competent on global scale with big and rich ones was the failure from the start. This world became too small for money globalists....

Klaus said that was a "mistaken assumption" and it was impossible to prevent future crises through regulatory interventions and similar actions by governments.

This also depends of the government (under whose influence is, EU/US or Russia/China).

That will only "destroy the markets and together with them the chances for economic growth and prosperity in both developed and developing countries," he said.

Start collecting some valuable metals instead of the money, I say.

The Czech president, a vocal skeptic of global warming, said the United Nations should also keep out of science, including climate change.

Science made us have and live on the way we are doing now. Global warming is not a myth. It was happening on regular basis since the Earth was made, we humans are only making it happen faster.

U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has made fighting climate change one of his top priorities.
