UN General Assembly
2018

It is our responsibility as States Members of the United Nations to maintain the relevance, effectiveness and efficiency of our Organization and to be up to the task for whatever challenges may confront us. However, raising awareness of the most pressing issues is not enough. We must also push for the adoption of the instruments and frameworks necessary to deal with them and, most importantly, secure their implementation. Without that, this rostrum will remain a self-serving global stage, just words without deeds.
