UN General Assembly
2021

We continue to face serious challenges to peace and security in our region; Uganda continues to support and advance peace and security efforts in the region. We remain actively involved in regional initiatives such as those of the AU, IGAD, EAC, ICGLR and are encouraged by the progress that we continue to make. Uganda is committed to continuing working with our international partners in supporting the counter-terrorism and stabilization efforts in Somalia, the political transition in Sudan, implementation of the Revitalized Peace Agreement in South Sudan and the elimination of terrorist and other negative forces in the eastern part of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Mr. President, This Assembly made a historic pledge during the World Summit held in 2005. A commitment to strengthening the United Nations with a view to enhancing its authority and efficiency. This cannot happen without the reform of the UN Security Council. The need to reform the UN Security Council is now more urgent and imperative than ever before. Uganda supports the comprehensive reform of the UN Security Council.
