The article argues against the dichotomy of a global north and south, emphasizing that such a division oversimplifies the complexities of global relationships. Economically, several leading countries are in the south, while climate issues affect all nations. Migration patterns and political stances also reveal that the divide cannot simply be geographical. The UN focuses on countries needing most support rather than adhering to north-south classifications. The central issue is the divide between those who uphold international law versus those who do not, transcending geographical boundaries.
The real line of division is the one that separates those that support the international rules-based order from the rest.
In France, our moral compass is not guided by north or south, but by justice.
The UN doesn't recognise this artificial division; it focuses on countries that need the most international support.
We are living in a fragmented world, but is this happening at the line of geographical division between north and south? Certainly not.
