Reform Recommendations from World Leaders

“It is neither moral nor fair for five countries to make decisions that will affect the fate of the entire world. The world is bigger than the five countries. Creating a multipolar, multi-centred, multicultural, more inclusive, and fair world is possible. The first address for such a world is the UN. The way to peace, stability, justice, and effective global governance is through the reform of the UN.”

“The overall goal of his reform agenda is to create a ‘21st century UN ‘that is better equipped to address the complex contemporary challenges facing humankind.”

“I perfectly well understand the disappointment of people all over the world. The international mechanism did not manage to somehow react to it due to veto power. UN member states had been discussing the reform of the UN Security Council for the past 20 years, but this reform "has not moved a single step" due to the UN Security Council permanent member states.”

“As France, we advocate the enlargement of the Security Council.”

“The veto power belonging to the Council's five permanent members must not be used for national ends.”
