German Chancellor Merkel Calls For A "New Global
Order"
Says Americans must give more authority to global
bodies

Chancellor Angela Merkel today called for the establishment
of a "new global order" in remarks marking the 20th
anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall.
Speaking at a scientific conference entitled “Falling
Walls”, Merkel brazenly told
reporters:
"The most important thing, when attempting
to overcome barriers, is: Are the nation states ready and willing
to give competencies over to multilateral organizations, no
matter what it costs?"
The German leader stated that world unity could
only be possible if such "global corrections" were
made.
"This world will not be a peaceful one if
we do not work for more global order and more multilateral cooperation,"
Merkel
stated.
In the presence of U.S. Secretary of State Hillary
Clinton, Merkel added that Americans would have to deliver over
more authority to multilateral organizations such as the UN,
just as Europeans have done to the EU.
Merkel pointed to the forthcoming UN climate summit
in December, to be held in Copenhagen, as an opportunity to
forge such a new order.
The German Chancellor's speech echoed that of
former Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev, who called for a
"new world order" in a December 1988 speech to the
United Nations in New York City. Gorbachev was present at the
event in Berlin today.
Other world leaders set to join Chancellor Merkel are French
President Nicolas Sarkozy, Russian president Dmitry Medvedev
and British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, who is set to make
a last-ditch appeal to Merkel to rally behind Tony
Blair as the first president of Europe.
President Obama will not travel to Germany, a move that has
drawn heated criticism and has been seen by some as an attempt
to better relations with Russia.
