"As global crises multiply and trust in international institutions erodes, the United Nations faces growing questions about its relevance and authority."
"Thirty years after pledges to end hunger and reduce inequality, progress is stalling, wars are spreading, and UN Security Council vetoes are paralysing action."
"In this episode of Talk to Al Jazeera, UN General Assembly President Annalena Baerbock reflects on the UN's credibility, the limits of the UNSC, and whether a more assertive UNGA can drive reform before the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals deadline."
Global crises are multiplying while trust in international institutions erodes, placing the United Nations' relevance and authority under intensified scrutiny. Thirty years after commitments to end hunger and reduce inequality, progress toward those objectives has slowed and inequalities persist. Escalating wars compound humanitarian and security challenges, and recurring UN Security Council vetoes impede collective responses. Consideration is growing about whether a more assertive UN General Assembly could catalyze institutional reform and reinvigorate multilateral cooperation. Urgent political will and coordinated action by member states are required to overcome paralysis and accelerate progress toward the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals.
