美国留下的三把“空椅子”

Group 1 - The article highlights the absence of the United States in three significant global governance discussions, symbolized by three "empty chairs" in Brazil, Switzerland, and South Africa, representing a retreat from climate, human rights, and economic governance [1][2][3] - In Brazil, the U.S. delegation was notably absent from the UN Climate Change Conference, which is seen as a disregard for the principle of "common but differentiated responsibilities" in addressing climate change [1] - The U.S. also missed a crucial human rights review in Geneva, marking a historic absence that has led to a stalemate in the review process, undermining its previous role as a self-proclaimed human rights judge [2] Group 2 - At the G20 summit in South Africa, the U.S. absence was particularly striking, as it missed an opportunity to engage in discussions on debt relief and multilateral reforms, reflecting a prioritization of its own interests over global cooperation [2][3] - The article suggests that the U.S. is attempting to counter a multipolar world through isolationist policies, viewing international rules as constraints rather than foundations for peace and development [3] - The empty chairs symbolize a significant shift in global governance dynamics, allowing for more diverse voices to emerge in international discussions, as emphasized by South African officials [3]
