UN General Assembly
2024

• As one of equal successor states of former Yugoslavia, Croatia is among the founders of the UN. Following the dissolution of former Yugoslavia, in the midst of defending itself from aggression and invasion, 32 years ago Croatia reconfirmed its commitment to the UN Charter – this time as a free, soverign and independent Member State of the United Nations. Ours is a journey of liberty and democracy, a pursuit of peace and prosperity, of vigilant defence of human rights and dignity, while honouring the values and principles of multilateralism and international cooperation that the UN embodies. • Our experience as a small but resilient nation with a deep understanding of peace, security, and development underscores the importance of reforming and revitalizing the UN to ensure it remains fit to address the global challenges of today and tomorrow. • The Pact for the Future, a pivotal document for strengthening multilateralism that we adopted earlier this week, elaborates about both General Assembly and Security Council reform and we believe we should further strengthen, reform and revitalize these two institutions.
