Salvar a la ONU
El multilateralismo y el derecho es la respuesta ante la destrucción del orden y las instituciones internacionales
The General Assembly of the United Nations, set to begin in New York today, will serve as a barometer for the extraordinary global tensions we face and the state of the institution itself, which has endured a persistent dismantling in recent years, even reaching the point of irrelevance. World leaders convene this week in a forum that, under normal circumstances, would be at the heart of discussions regarding wars, hunger, a climate crisis devastating our societies, and the unrelenting acceleration of artificial intelligence.
However, these are not normal times. The UN finds itself shackled, with an inoperative Security Council lacking credibility, while simultaneously facing severe cuts in funding and disrespect for its foundational values, all originating from the United States, the country that contributed to the construction of this now-ruined international order.
