Graphic does not show 'New World Order' UN goals

The image does not show an official UN graphic, nor does it show goals set out by the UN

(Reuters) - A graphic purporting to show a list of goals set out by the United Nations including the implementation of a “one world military” and the “restriction of non-essential air travel” does not show an official UN document.

The UN emblem can be seen at the top of the screenshot, with a headline that reads: “NEW WORLD ORDER UN Agenda 21/2030 Mission Goals.”

The list includes the “end of irrigation” as well as “the end of private transportation.”

Examples of the list shared on social media can be viewed (here) and (here). 

The image does not show an official UN graphic, nor does it show goals set out by the UN, Sharon Birch, a spokesperson for the Sustainable Development Section at the UN told Reuters.

“The list (including the goals) is not in any way associated with the United Nations. Moreover, the goals are neither included in Agenda 21 (here) nor the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (here),” the spokesperson told Reuters.

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and Agenda 21 are both non-binding documents pertaining to global sustainable development efforts and were adopted by UN Member States in 2015 and 1992, respectively, the spokesperson added for context.

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development consists of 17 goals including affordable and clean energy, gender equality and reduced inequalities and can be seen (here).

Meanwhile, Agenda 21 was adopted in 1992 to meet challenges related to the environment and development, including the goal to boost access to markets for exports from developing countries, viewable (here).

The list does not feature in either of the two documents when searching for the terms listed via the graphic shared online such as “government-raised children” and the “end of the family unit.”

An online search using the terms listed in the document did not reveal any media reports on the supposed list (archive.is/MKCkS).

“This list is an extreme distortion of the UN agenda, which is intended to promote human wellbeing, environmental sustainability, and justice,” Prof Judith Shapiro, Director of Dual Degree in Natural Resources and Sustainable Development for the School of International Service at the American University, Washington D.C., told Reuters.

“It is a most unfortunate example of falsification via social media,” she added.

VERDICT

False. The list shared online is not an official UN document. The UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development goals and Agenda 21 were adopted in 2015 and 1992 respectively and detail non-binding sustainable development goals.
