On September 22, more than 130 heads of state and government representatives passed the future contract and the global digital contract of the attachment at the Future Summit of the United Nations.This is an important step for member states to reform and draw the future vision of the world.
The reform of the United Nations is a long -term topic, but the voices of reform in recent years are strong, mainly because the world has faced more and more new problems that are increasingly difficult to solve.International disputes, war, violations of international law, and the failure of the multilateral system.
At the UN General Assembly last year, Secretary -General Gutres once pointed out that the world has changed, but the United Nations institutions have not yet.If the organization cannot reflect the original situation of the world, it cannot effectively solve the actual problems.Instead of solving the problem, these institutions may become part of the problem.He also warned that there was no choice but to reform, "either reform or division."
The United Nations came into being after the Second World War, and its organization and relevant institutions reflected the needs at the time.However, many challenges facing the world today did not exist when these institutions were founded 80 years ago.In the face of many new problems in the world, including war and conflict, climate change, infectious diseases, artificial intelligence development, globalization, multilateralist retreat, and trade protectionism, geopolitical struggle between large powers, and decourse disconnected chains, etc.It is necessary to seek new response plans, otherwise it will be worrying in the future.These are all things in the global governance. As the only representative organization of global governance, the United Nations faces urgent reform needs.
Based on the 75th anniversary of the founding of the United Nations, the UN General Assembly asked the Secretary -General to submit a report to make suggestions on how to promote the common agenda and respond to the current and future challenges.In 2021, Gutres submitted a report called our common agenda to the conference.The conference subsequently decided to hold a ministerial meeting in 2023, and held a summit in September this year, and finally reached a future contract.
The future contract of future challenges is to cover the fields of peace and security, global governance, sustainable development, climate change, digital cooperation and other fields.The document lists 56 actions, including calling on the reform of the United Nations Security Council, reviving multilateralism, maintaining the United Nations Charter and international peacekeeping operations, reforming international financial institutions, and making new efforts to promote disarmament and guidance of artificial intelligence development.Essence
It is inevitable, to reform the Security Council to make it more representative, more tolerant, more transparent, more efficient, more effective, more democratic, and more accountable.In 2022, 193 member states of the United Nations can still pass a reform resolution in a consistent way to require the five permanent members of the Security Council to explain the reasons for veto when using the veto right in the voting voting voting voting voting voting voting voting voting voting voting voting voting voting.This reform plan was first proposed two and a half years ago.The outbreak of the Russian and Ukraine Obviously accelerated the process of accelerating the proposal.It must be acknowledged that although the United Nations reflects the international order based on the rule of law, it is essentially inseparable from "peace under the United States."Nowadays, the United States has begun to appear to be unpredictable to maintain international order. Leaders who lack a word of nine words, the reform of the international system, including the United Nations, will undoubtedly have half the effort.
The reform proposed by the contract covers the reform of the United Nations General Assembly, the reform of the United Nations Council of the Economic and Social Affairs Council, strengthening the construction of peace committee, strengthening the coordination of the United Nations agency, and the reform of the United Nations human rights agency.In other words, reforms are more aspects, and many member states can work together to seek a breakthrough place.The informal "small country forum" platform, which was established in the United Nations in 1992 in Singapore in 1992, is a good example.From 16 member states, this platform has now increased to 108.It contributed a considerable driving force at this future summit.Although future contracts and accessories are not legal to binding, for the more differentiated world, it shows the consensus of countries and highlights the core position of the United Nations in global affairs.Everyone clearly realizes that there is only one United Nations in the world, and global governance cannot be without the United Nations.As for some people believe that the United Nations mechanism has lost its effect on the context of war, tight relations between great powers and the polarization of international camps. As Singapore Foreign Minister Victoria pointed out, it is because people live in a split and difficult world.The existence of international law and the United Nations is even more necessary, because it is still the only institution generally involved in countries, and has legal effects.Rather than saying that the United Nations has nothing to do with it, it is better to double support this mechanism.If the United Nations fails to achieve expected results, then reform it, reform procedures, and let it continue.This is also the essence of the future summit.
Although the world's hegemony is concerned, power is axiom, but in the face of a diverse world, the United Nations is still the only platform for various challenges to face various challenges. Under the circumstances, what countries should do are welcomeDifficulty, promote reform, maintain multilateralism and international law, and give play to the functions of the United Nations to maintain world peaceful development.
