Time of Turbulence { 54 images } Created 6 Mar 2024
“We meet at a time of turbulence for our world, for people, and for human rights.
After decades of stable power relations, we are transitioning into an era of multipolarity … but multipolarity without strong multilateral institutions is a recipe for chaos.
As powers compete, tensions rise.
The rule of law, and the rules of war, are being undermined.
The Security Council is often deadlocked, unable to act on the most significant peace and security issues of our time.
The Council’s lack of unity … has severely – perhaps fatally – undermined its authority. “
