My Reflections on the Reform of the United Nations: Election of the New Secretary-General (2027-2031) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798258475992)

At a time when the world order is faltering, one question arises: can the United Nations still fulfill its mission?

In this striking and deeply informed essay, Cheick Sidi Diarra, former Under Secretary-General of the United Nations and seasoned diplomat, delivers a clear-eyed and uncompromising analysis of the current state of the multilateral system.

Drawing on over 30 years of experience at the heart of the UN machinery, the author offers an essential reflection on the major challenges the organization faces today:

• The retreat of multilateralism and the rise of unilateral interventions
• The financial crisis threatening the very functioning of the UN
• The limitations of peacekeeping operations
• The weakening of international cooperation
• New global issues: climate, migration, artificial intelligence

A clear diagnosis. An ambitious vision.

Beyond assessing the situation, this work proposes concrete and bold reforms to rebuild the UN, making it more effective, fairer, and better suited to the realities of the 21st century.

From reforming the Security Council to redefining the role of the Secretary-General, including improved financial governance, the author outlines the contours of a possible rebirth of the United Nations.
