New York : Pakistan’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations Munir Akram has expressed deep concern over the grave challenges currently facing the international order.
Speaking to a group of Fulbright scholars at the Pakistan Mission in New York, he highlighted the proliferation of regional and global conflicts, including those in Gaza, Ukraine, South Asia, and the South China Sea, as stark indicators of the erosion of the foundations of international peace and security.
Munir Akram emphasized that the principles and purposes enshrined in the UN Charter are vital for ensuring global peace and stability.
He pointed out that the ongoing conflicts and the failure of multilateral systems to effectively address these issues underscore the urgent need for a renewed commitment to the core tenets of international cooperation.
Munir Akram also identified a range of interconnected global challenges, including climate change, the deepening technological divide, unequal access to development finance for developing countries, and the looming threat of nuclear conflict.
