UN General Assembly
2024

The UN Charter principles and purposes constitute the foundational normative framework in international relations, and must be applied consistently, not selectively. The UN is mandated to ensure that every nation has an equal voice and is treated on the same footing. In this regard, Azerbaijan advocates for a reinvigorated and reformed multilateral system, with the UN at its core, underpinned by strict adherence to and non-selective application of the universally accepted norms and principles of international law. Urgent progress is needed on the UN Security Council reforms, based on the work done and the gains achieved in good faith and a spirit of flexibility, constructiveness, and cooperation. We view the pivotal Summit of the Future, held a week ago, as a renewal of our common commitment to international law, the UN Charter, multilateralism, and international cooperation. The Pact for the Future, its negotiated outcome, is a blueprint for building a better, more sustainable, and prosperous world for everyone. It is time for our collective commitments to turn into real and decisive action. Ladies and Gentlemen,
