  1. “We believe that the time has come to agree on a reform that can render the Security Council more democratic, representative, transparent and effective, which would bolster the legitimacy of that central organ and promote confidence in the United Nations. In conclusion, allow me to say that, in order to strengthen the United Nations system as the primary custodian of multilateralism and ensure an effective and more comprehensive response to future challenges, it will be necessary to support its ability to cooperate and coordinate with other actors such as international and regional organizations, financial institutions and economic communities, as well as to open up to non-governmental organizations, civil society, the private sector and academia.”

  2. “Since joining the United Nations in 1956, Tunisia has adhered faithfully to the Charter of the United Nations, demonstrating its belief in the centrality of the United Nations system as the frame of reference for the international authority and universal values upon which multilateralism is based. To date, our country has spared no effort to support the Organization, contribute to achieving its goals and actively participate in its main organs. The consensus that the role of the United Nations is central also requires all stakeholders to engage effectively and provide greater support for the ongoing process of reforming the various organs in order to keep pace with a changing world and adapt as needed to meet new challenges. In that connection, Tunisia supports the intergovernmental negotiations on Security Council reform.”

  3. “Today, we must evaluate the United Nations system and explore the ways to develop it further so that its organs become more efficient, effective and flexible in order to meet the aspirations of the peoples of the world to peace, security, democracy and development, and to embody the principles and purposes of the Charter of the United Nations. We urgently need to translate our commitment to multilateralism into practical approaches to address challenges, starting with ensuring rapid and equitable access to vaccinations against COVID-19, providing the means for economic and social recovery, and ensuring food security and universal health coverage in all countries, especially the most vulnerable.”

  4. “Recent international developments and the qualitative shift in the nature of the challenges we face have demonstrated that no country, whatever its capabilities, can face these threats alone and that the only way to address them is by taking coordinated, collective international action through existing constructive multilateral mechanisms, centred around the United Nations and led by the General Assembly and the Security Council. Today, we have no choice but to uphold international authority, abandon unilateral decisions, invoke the Charter of the United Nations and international law, comply with treaties and instruments, and commit to implementing Security Council resolutions in order to reinforce the Council’s responsibility and bolster its credibility.”

  5. “We still have much to do to build resilience in the face of this pandemic and the pandemics to come, as well as to tackle other existing and emerging threats. Our world today is not in the best of situations, confronted as it is with the COVID-19 pandemic and numerous other, no less dangerous, complex and interrelated challenges, including armed conflicts, declining levels of development, growing malnutrition and human rights violations, not to mention climate change and the spread of terrorism and violent extremism.”

  6. “This existential challenge has highlighted the fact that our destiny is a common one, and that we can effectively address the pandemic and its effects only by working together, cooperating and demonstrating genuine solidarity within multilateral frameworks. This is confirmed by the landmark resolution 2532 (2020), which was adopted by the Security Council in July 2020 following a Tunisian-French initiative, in keeping with the call, issued by President Kaïs Saïed when the pandemic began, for a comprehensive understanding of international peace and security. While we value the admittedly significant international efforts made to date, they have yet to rise to the level of the challenge.”

  7. “On the occasion of the seventy-fifth anniversary of the establishment of our Organization, the leaders of our countries agreed that multilateral action was not an option but an urgent necessity and that the United Nations was the natural framework within which to combine our efforts to build a safer, fairer, more sustainable and resilient world. The dire circumstances faced by the world’s peoples today as a result of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic and its devastating repercussions can only reinforce our commitment to multilateralism and our conviction of the need to rally around the United Nations and support other specialized institutions and international organizations.”

  8. “At the outset, I would like to congratulate Wang Yi, Minister for Foreign Affairs of the People’s Republic of China, on his country’s assumption of the presidency of the Security Council and to express my appreciation of his choice to devote today’s meeting to the theme of upholding multilateralism in order to support its effectiveness in overcoming the major challenges that humanity as a whole faces today. I would also like to thank Mr. Volkan Bozkir for his important briefing and to salute his valuable efforts as President of the General Assembly to contribute to the advancement of the United Nations system. Last September, our President Kaïs Saïed called on the United Nations to be more united on the basis of a new set of values suited to the modern era (see A/75/ PV.3).”
