An agreement for international reform negotiated by Germany is adopted – despite one country’s opposition.
Despite a temporary Russian blockade, the UN General Assembly has adopted a fundamental pact to renew the international order. The president of the largest UN body, Philemon Yang, declared that the UN Future Pact, negotiated under German leadership, had been adopted in New York.
The 193 member states of the United Nations were supposed to unanimously adopt the agreement at the UN Future Summit, but Russia distanced itself from the paper at the beginning of the ceremony.
The painstakingly negotiated pact includes declarations of intent for a reform of the UN Security Council and calls for an adjustment of the international financial system in favor of the so-called Global South. It is also intended to lay the first foundation for the global regulation of artificial intelligence. The text also opposes an arms race in space.
