Barack Obama made his debut before the General Assembly of the United Nations on Wednesday, but his speech extolling a new American diplomacy more open should find an audience educated by his first months as president and more skeptical than before.

In his first speech before the annual meeting of world leaders, Obama said “how he sees the international cooperation of the twenty-first century and talk about the need to move beyond old divisions to focus on the future,” announces the Ambassador of the United States to the United Nations, Susan Rice. After President George W. Bush, whose relations with the United Nations has been marked by serious quarrels, Obama should emphasize the need for cooperation to address multiple challenges: nuclear programs of Iran and North Korea, terrorism, war in Afghanistan, climate change, pandemic diseases …  But Obama will benefit, perhaps not even a priori favor at the time of his inauguration in January. From the earliest days of his presidency, Mr. Obama announced the closure of Guantanamo banned interrogation practices amount to torture, reached out to Muslims, committed effort to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian erected the fight against global warming great cause. “The United States has dramatically changed the tone, substance and practice of diplomacy at the UN, their approach to the UN as an institution and their approach to multilateralism in general,” says Rice. The idea is that the U.S. can only achieve that Iran stops its nuclear activities the more sensitive or that North Korea dismantle its nuclear arsenal. One of the guiding principles of diplomacy statements by Mr. Obama is that the United States will share their work, but in return expect others to do theirs. He recalled Tuesday at the UN precisely, urging rich countries and major emerging economies to act “together” against climate change. However, Mr. Obama, whose hands are tied by Congress, was kept fixed to the Americans, among the very firt polluters of the planet, a purpose other than to reduce their emissions of greenhouse gas emissions at their 1990 levels by 2020. The European Union and other rich countries blame the U.S. for not doing enough. The internal constraints are also evident when it comes to enacting new rules for financial system avoid a repeat of the economic crisis. These rules should hold the leaders of rich countries and major emerging economies when Obama held immediately after the UN on Thursday and Friday in Pittsburgh (East U.S.). One of those who could show more attention in the audience of Obama at the UN could be Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. He should speak from the rostrum of the UN the same day that Mr. Obama, at a critical moment for relations between the two countries and the policy of the U.S. President. This policy was tested Tuesday when Obama brought together Israeli and Palestinian leaders without getting a boost in their negotiations. Employees of Obama argue that he has changed the image of the United States in the world, and polls in their favor.
