BAKU, Azerbaijan, March 13. Global
institutions need reforms, President of North Macedonia Gordana
Siljanovska-Davkova said at the 12th Global Baku Forum in
Azerbaijan, Trend
reports.
“Substantial reforms are needed to make global institutions more
legitimate, more just, more effective, and more consistent in
implementing the UN Charter. The Security Council must be expanded,
reformed, and democratized to make it more accountable and
responsible for maintaining international peace and security. The
General Assembly should take its rightful place as the primary
representative body, not only for discussion but also for policy
development. The decisions of the International Court must be
binding on all. Only in this way can the UN respond to current
geopolitical, economic, environmental, climate, technological, and
demographic challenges,” she added.
According to her, the Pact for the Future is a kind of global
social contract that should strengthen the multipolar system.
“However, even in its first months, this global social contract
has encountered a new problem. The question now being asked by many
is not whether the Pact for the Future will succeed, but whether it
will survive at all in 2025. Will it survive in the new
geopolitical conditions, and if so, will it become a starting point
for the renewal of the UN, or will it turn into another ambitious
yet declarative document that will collect dust in the archives of
history?” she emphasized.
The XII Global Baku Forum is scheduled to take place from March
13 to 15, 2025.
The forum is organized by the Nizami Ganjavi International
Center and will be held under the theme “Rethinking World Order:
Turning Challenges into Opportunities”.
Discussions will focus on key global issues, including
geopolitical shifts, multilateralism, the global health crisis,
recovery and regional stability, COP29, and more.
The forum is expected to bring together over 300 world leaders
from more than 60 countries, including more than 25 former
presidents, over 15 former prime ministers, around 10 UN and
international agency heads, and over 25 former ministers and deputy
ministers.
