After Obama, Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi took the podium to deliver a rambling ninety-minute address. Speaking to the General Assembly for the first time, Gaddafi said the UN Security Council has subverted, rather than upheld, international law. Gaddafi also called on the West to pay massive reparations to the African continent.
Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi: “Now the Security Council is security feudalism, political feudalism for those who have permanent seats…They are used against us…It should not be called the Security Council, it should be called the Terror Council. Let us have the wealth that was taken from us and looted from us. Africa deserves compensation, 7.77 trillion. 7.77 trillion — that’s the compensation that Africa deserves from the countries that colonized it.”
