On Wednesday, speaking before the UN General Assembly, U.S. President Barack Obama called the world leaders to unite and contribute for solving global problems for the benefit of security and prosperity, and not to wait until America will do this alone.

“The peoples of the world want changing” – said Obama during his first address to the UN General Assembly. – They will not long tolerate with those who do not accept the lessons of history. ”

In an era where rapidly developing technologies connects people across borders and demolish the old distinctions, Obama called to begin “a new era of cooperation based on mutual interest and mutual respect.”

The head of the United States said that he would never apologize for defending the interests of the United States. But he tries to dispel what he said, is “almost reflexive anti-Americanism”, diverges from across the world.

Obama has presented a list of policy changes and the real actions that his administration has taken the first nine months in office. The main idea of such transformations – the United States has no interest to occupy an isolated position, instead they want to act on the world stage as equal partners.

“Those who are accustomed to blame America, because it acts in the world, can not now stand by and wait for America to deal with world problems alone,” -said Obama in his speech. – It’s time for the whole world to move in new direction. Our work must begin now. ”

“In an era when the fate becoming general, the power is no longer a zero-sum game” – said Obama. – The one world order, which raises some countries or groups of people over others, can no longer be successful. And America wants a new future “, – he continued.

Then in his speech the U.S. president has outlined the main challenges facing humanity in the near future.

Obama called the leaders of all countries to help achieve a nuclear-free world, to improve security and eliminate terrorism, in promoting peace between Israelis and Palestinians in the fight against climate change and create greater economic opportunity.

He said that Iran and North Korea “should be held accountable” if they continue to develop its nuclear weapons contrary to international security.

“The world must unite to demonstrate that international law – is not an empty promise and that the contracts will be respected,” – said the head of the White House.

He said that the doors are open to Pyongyang and Tehran, but U.S. patience is not unlimited.

Speaking of global warming on the planet, the U.S. leader said: “We can not deny the dangers posed by climate change and our responsibility in overcoming them is urgent. That is why the days when America was delayed by a decision of this question have ended.”

In his speech at the UN General Assembly, President Obama recalled and that the time has come for the resumption of negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians without any preconditions.

Obama called on Palestinians to stop incitement against Israel, but said that the U.S. does not intend to recognize the legitimacy of the ongoing construction of Israeli settlements.

He stressed that the goal is two states living side by side in peace and security – with the Jewish state genuine security for all Israelis and the establishment of an independent Palestinian state on contiguous territory that will end the occupation that began in 1967, and realizes the potential of the Palestinian people. Just as we pursue this goal, we will strive for peace between Israel and Lebanon, Israel and Syria, and to the wider world of Israel from its neighbors. “
