UN General Assembly
2018

Making the United Nations an Organization that is at the service of peaceful, equitable and sustainable societies is a great challenge in the current global context characterized by various threats and at a time when the values and ideals enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations are often put to the test. In spite of the magnitude of those obstacles, I remain convinced that multilateralism is the ideal approach for building a more peaceful, just and inclusive world order. In that regard, it is essential for our Organization to modernize, transform itself and acquire the appropriate means for providing adequate responses to the multiple and complex imperatives that we face today. That is why I have welcomed, since the beginning of his mandate, the reforms of the Secretary-General to redeploy the architecture and resources of our Organization in line with the ambitions and aspirations of the peoples of humankind.
