The UN General Assembly, marked by the absence of major powers, spotlights the escalating crisis in the multilateral system. Presidents Lula da Silva and Joe Biden underline the UN’s waning efficacy in confronting global challenges, with rising conflicts and humanitarian crises underscoring structural flaws. Urgent reform is imperative. Led by nations like Brazil, the Global South must champion active non-alignment, challenging power imbalances and revitalizing multilateralism’s legitimacy. Bold actions are crucial for overhauling the UN’s structures and directly addressing contemporary challenges. A resilient and just world order hinges on the proactive engagement of the Global South in shaping a reinvigorated multilateral framework.
