UN General Assembly
2025

It is important to resist the temptation to replace these foundational commitments with new ideas or programs that risk diluting the UN's mission. Central to this mission is striking a balance between the four pillars of the United Nations, promoting human rights, maintaining international peace and security, achieving sustainable development, and upholding rule of law. The rule of law in particular is the sine qua non of a just international order providing the foundation for all other efforts. This anniversary provides an opportunity to reinforce the United Nations position as a beacon of hope and a force for good in addressing humanity's most urgent needs.
