President Akufo-Addo has called for significant reforms within the United Nations Security Council, emphasising the need for a more equitable global governance structure.
He made this appeal on Tuesday night at the UN Summit on the Future of the World.
“In its current form, the [Security] Council does not reflect the realities of today’s world. It remains an outdated post-Second World War relic, with Africa, a continent of 1.4 billion people, grossly underrepresented.
“We cannot speak of multilateralism when the structures of global governance are rooted in an unjust and unequal order. Mr. President, the time for half-measures is over. Bold reforms are needed to ensure that every nation, large or small, rich or poor, has an equal voice at the table.”
President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo is expected to deliver his final address to the United Nations General Assembly in New York on Wednesday, September 25.
The president is expected to touch on climate change and other recent global developments.
