The United Nations Security Council held a high-level debate on challenges facing the international community in maintaining peace and security. The session addressed mounting pressure on multilateralism and increasing global divisions.
Participants stressed the need to defend the founding principles of the UN Charter, which Secretary-General António Guterres said are under "profound strain." Discussions underscored the importance of reforming global governance to respond to contemporary challenges.
The debate also aimed to restore confidence in the Security Council’s ability to act effectively in international crises and reinforce its central role in the UN-based international system.
