- Abstract
The article highlights the concern that the values and principles of the Global North are not rooted in the Global South. It mentions the example of vaccine patent hoarding for the West during the Covid-19 epidemic, which has led to accusations that human life is valued more in the North than in the South. The importance of multilateralism is emphasized, and it is mentioned that the United Nations represents a factor and a value to be taken into account, although some of its powerful members have acted undisciplined. The article also mentions the war in the Middle East and the concern for violence against Palestinian civilians. It raises the need for multilateral actions to address the reality of the war on terrorism in Israel and the situation in Gaza. The proposed Pact for the Future by Secretary-General António Guterres is highlighted as an opportunity to revitalize multilateralism and address current and future challenges. The importance of multilateral action in the fight against climate change is also emphasized, and the lack of commitment from major greenhouse gas emitters is criticized. Additionally, the need for a rebalancing of power in international relations is mentioned, and the existence of large-scale conflicts between civilizations is raised. In conclusion, a call is made for rationality and the construction of a global political community that promotes human interests and global justice.
