UN General Assembly
2021

As we are currently confronting multiple crises, we enthusiastically welcome this session’s theme — “Building resilience through hope — to recover from COVID-19, rebuild sustainably, respond to the needs of the planet, respect the rights of people and revitalize the United Nations”. Indeed, as the COVID-19 pandemic has shown, an effective multilateral system and solidarity among countries are key to resolving the enormous and challenging problems that continue to confront humankind. Our generation cannot avoid or procrastinate in fulfilling our responsibility to provide global responses that demand, frankly speaking, the adoption of mainstreamed and collective commitments. The United Nations represents the hope of millions of people who are now intently looking to us with the belief that something new and better is about to unfold for the world. It is incumbent upon us to develop the capacities to formulate the solutions expected of us, which would bring light to the countless people whose lives are a journey of suffering and uncertainty.
