  "account": "Indonesia has highlighted Palestine as the key focus in its push for improved multilateralism, claiming the Gaza crisis will serve as a crucial test of the United Nations' dedication to its founding principles and ability to deliver results when it matters most. Foreign Minister for Indonesia, Mr. Sugiono, emphasized the significance of the situation during an address at the United Nations General Assembly in New York, where he called for \"resilient multilateralism\" that can adapt, respond, and most importantly, deliver amid the ongoing conflict in Gaza.\n\nHe stressed that Palestine is not limited to a single issue or region, but rather represents a broader test of the multilateral system's capacity to uphold its original purpose and deliver when necessary. The Foreign Minister described the circumstances in Gaza and the West Bank as clear breaches of international law and reminiscent of the era before the establishment of the United Nations Charter, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and the 1949 Geneva Conventions. He asserted that sovereignty must be respected and colonialism must be eradicated, which makes Palestine one of the most significant tests of these principles and the test of international conscience.\n\nThe Indonesian diplomat emphasized the continued importance of the United Nations in providing a platform for nations to resolve their differences without resorting to conflict, but he emphasized that a UN secretary-general in the new era must be capable of translating multilateralism into tangible results for people. Believing in the United Nations, he argued, also entails acknowledging the need for the institution to evolve in line with the world it serves. A multilateral system suitable for the 21st century should be more representative, agile, and able to deliver effectively.",
