By 2025, the international order established in 1945 faces potential collapse, marked by the trivialization of illegal force following conflicts in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, and Ukraine. Failure to address atrocities, such as the genocide in Gaza, reflects a denial of humanity's core values. Escalating violence in the Middle East and damaging economic policies threaten global trade and deepening inequality. The prioritization of bailing out the wealthy over ordinary citizens has eroded trust in public institutions, while inadequate responses to global challenges undermine sustainable development and cooperation efforts.
The cracks in the international order have been visible since the invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan, and intervention in Libya, culminating in the current war in Ukraine.
The genocide in Gaza represents a failure to uphold basic humanity, and the inability to overcome differences is driving renewed violence in the Middle East, including attacks on Iran.
Economic measures, like sweeping tariffs, disrupt global trade and contribute to high prices and stagnation, undermining multilateral systems like the World Trade Organization.
Public distrust in institutions has been fueled by the bailout of the ultra-wealthy at the cost of ordinary citizens, deepening economic inequality.
