  1. “There are still a number of speakers remaining on the list for this meeting. Given the lateness of the hour, I intend, with the concurrence of the members of the Council, to suspend the meeting until 3 p.m. The meeting was suspended at 1.15 p.m.”

  3. “I will now say a few words in my national capacity. We are obviously focused today on the urgency of reforming multilateralism. Naturally, we will each have our own views, but at least there is ongoing convergence that this cannot be delayed any further. The credibility of the United Nations depends on its effective response to the key challenges of our times — pandemics, climate change and the conflicts of terrorism. As we search for the best solutions, what our discourse must never accept is the normalization of such threats. The question of justifying what the world regards as unacceptable should not even arise. That certainly applies to State sponsorship of cross- border terrorism. Nor can hosting Osama bin Laden and attacking a neighbouring Parliament serve as credentials to sermonize before the Council.”

  4. “I wish to remind all speakers to limit their statements to no more than four minutes in order to enable the Council to carry out its work expeditiously. Flashing lights on the collars of the microphones will prompt speakers to bring their remarks to a close after four minutes. I now give the floor to the Minister for Foreign Affairs of Pakistan.”

  5. “The Secretary-General has rightly called for “transforming this moment of crisis into a moment of multilateralism”, but that moment must capture the sense of change and cannot remain a prisoner of the past — after all, Our Common Agenda (A/75/982) and the Summit of the Future will deliver results only if they respond to the growing calls for reform multilateralism. Reform is the need of the day, and I am confident that the Global South in particular shares India’s determination to persevere. I now resume my functions as President of the Council. I call on the Cabinet member and Minister of Culture and Youth of the United Arab Emirates.”

  6. “Thirdly, there is no record-keeping that enables progress to be recognized and carried forward. And that is not all. It has even been suggested that negotiations should start only when consensus has been achieved. Surely there can be no more extreme case of putting the cart before the horse. Three decades after the formation of the Open- ended Working Group on Security Council Reform, we have nothing to show for precisely those reasons. That is creating an intense sense of frustration among the wider membership. They will not accept attempts to propose piecemeal changes as an alternative.”

  7. “Let us recall that at every milestone in multilateral diplomacy, the desire for reform has been expressed at the highest levels. That ranges from the Millennium Declaration to the 2005 World Summit Outcome and the Declaration on the Commemoration of the Seventy- fifth Anniversary of the United Nations in 2020. This year, too, the General Assembly heard calls for reform from more than 70 leaders — more than double the number in 2021. Why, then, are we failing to deliver on such a strong desire for change? The answer lies in the nature of the intergovernmental negotiations process itself. First, it is the only such process within the United Nations that is conducted without any time frame. Secondly, it is also singular in being negotiated without any text.”

  8. “We need not only to increase stakeholdership but also to enhance the effectiveness and credibility of multilateralism in the eyes of the international community and in the eyes of global public opinion. That is the purpose of new orientation for a reformed multilateral system. If this is to happen, Member States from Latin America, Africa and Asia as well as small island developing States should have credible and continuing representation in the Security Council. Decisions about the future can no longer be taken without their participation. It is equally important to make the working methods and processes of global institutions, including the Council, more accountable, objective and transparent. Failing to do so would only expose the Council to charges of politicization.”

  9. “Recent concerns over food, fertilizer and fuel security were not adequately articulated in the highest councils of decision-making. Much of the world was therefore led to believe that their interests did not matter. We cannot let that happen again. When it comes to climate action and climate justice, the state of affairs is no better. Instead of addressing the relevant issues in the appropriate forum, we have seen attempts at distraction and diversion. On the challenge of terrorism, even as the world is coming together with a more collective response, multilateral platforms are being misused to justify and protect perpetrators. Each one of the foregoing examples makes a strong case for why it should not be business as usual in the multilateral domain.”

  10. “The call for change has been accelerated by growing stresses on the international system that we have experienced in recent years. On the one hand, they have brought out the inequities and the inadequacies of the way the world currently functions. On the other hand, they have also highlighted that a larger and deeper collaboration is necessary to find solutions. Let me give a few examples. During the coronavirus disease pandemic, many vulnerable nations of the global South got their first vaccines from beyond their traditional sources. Indeed, the diversification of global production was itself a recognition of how much the old order had changed. The knock-on effects of conflict situations have also underscored the necessity for more broad-based global governance.”

  11. “All of us are aware that the question of equitable representation on and increase in the membership of the Security Council has been on the General Assembly agenda for well over three decades. While the debate on reforms has meandered aimlessly, the real world has changed dramatically. We see that in terms of economic prosperity, technology capabilities, political influence and developmental progress. The broad dispersal of capabilities and responsibilities has been expressed, for example, in the emergence of the Group of 20. That realization is now steadily percolating through the wider membership of the United Nations. At the high-level week of the seventy-session of the General Assembly, we were all witness to a growing sentiment in favour of reform. Our challenge is to translate that into concrete outcomes.”

  12. “This debate and its outcome will not only help determine what kind of United Nations we wish to see, but also what kind of global order best reflects contemporary realities. The need for a new orientation for a reformed multilateral system flows from this widespread recognition. While the matter concerns the fullest constituency of States Members of the United Nations, the Security Council also has an important stake in the consideration of this crucial question, because, at the end of the day, it has direct implications for the maintenance of international peace and security, and it is in the fitness of things that such a discussion takes place as an open debate.”

  13. “I thank Mr. Kőrösi for his briefing. I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the Minister for External Affairs of India. I thank all participants for joining us at today’s Security Council open debate on a topic of growing relevance. We particularly appreciate the presence of the Secretary-General and the President of the General Assembly. This is a reflection of the importance of the subject at hand. We have come together in this Chamber today for an honest conversation about the effectiveness of multilateral institutions created more than 75 years ago. The question before us is how best these institutions can be reformed, particularly as the need to reform is less deniable with each passing year.”

  14. “In accordance with rule 39 of the Council’s provisional rules of procedure, I invite His Excellency Mr. Olof Skoog, Head of Delegation of the European Union to the United Nations, to participate in this meeting. The Security Council will now begin its consideration of the item on its agenda. I wish to draw the attention of Council members to document S/2022/880, which contains the text of a letter dated 25 November 2022 from the Permanent Representative of India to the United Nations addressed to the Secretary-General, transmitting a concept note on the item under consideration. I now give the floor to His Excellency Secretary- General António Guterres.”
