  "account": "At the 81st United Nations General Assembly, French President Emmanuel Macron urged nations to prioritize international law and the UN system over a return to the \"law of the jungle.\" Speaking on his final day at the UN, Macron condemned the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and called for a halt to military strikes against civilian and energy targets in the Ukraine-Russia war. He emphasized the importance of standing firm against the rise of \"defeat rhetoric\" and the abuse of power by empires that threaten the sovereignty of nations. Macron specifically criticized the destruction of civilian infrastructure and human rights violations, calling for a \"double moratorium\" on strikes targeting energy and civilian infrastructure. He also expressed support for the Palestinian people in Gaza, questioning the credibility of nations that remain inactive in the face of humanitarian needs. Turning to artificial intelligence, Macron proposed a collaborative approach to its development, advocating for a shared, open-source AI model to prevent dependence on a single power.",
