UN General Assembly
2021

The General Assembly must take responsibility and step forward in such situations, as it has done on several occasions. The Assembly should also convene as a matter of course in each and every case where Security Council action has been blocked by a veto. Liechtenstein will pursue this idea with interested States as one concrete contribution to enhance accountability in the institutions of the United Nations. There are of course many more areas in urgent need of reform, in particular the Security Council, and Liechtenstein will continue to make its independent voice heard where needed. We also look forward to an energized second term in office of Secretary-General Guterres in the service of an inclusive, powerful and effective multilateralism and of Our Common Agenda. We should aspire to deliver on this basis by building the six bridges the Secretary- General has identified for all of us and for the peoples of the world.
