US State Secretary Marco Rubio says global system ‘broken’: ‘Can’t address potential conflicts like India-Pakistan’
Marco Rubio also pointed to US President Donald Trump's remarks stating the United Nations was “not living up to its potential”.
United States Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated on Wednesday that the current global system is "broken" and unable to effectively address potential conflicts, using India and Pakistan as examples. He cited US President Donald Trump's claim that he prevented a war between the two nations in May 2025, a claim which India has consistently denied.
Rubio emphasized that the international system has "grown beyond its mandate," becoming involved in numerous issues beyond its scope and failing to resolve major conflicts. He stressed that the UN General Assembly agreed on the system's failure, but he believed it needed to return to its proper focus and role. The military tension between India and Pakistan escalated following the April 2025 terror attack in Pahalgam, which resulted in 26 civilian deaths.
India launched strikes against terror bases in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir under "Operation Sindoor."
