27 May 2026

(26 May 2026)********* Honorable President, Worthy the UN Secretary General; and Fellow Council members Good morning I thank you, Foreign Minister Wang Yi, for convening this important open debate during China’s presidency of the Security Council. Your leadership and presence today attests to China’s steadfast commitment to multilateralism and the UN Charter. At a time of deepening divisions and growing disregard for international law, China’s call for a strong UN-centered international system is most timely and vital. I also thank Secretary-General Antonio Guterres for his valuable briefing and principled leadership. 2. The UN Charter was born from a tragedy that wreaked immense havoc and suffering. We collectively pledged in the Charter to govern international relations in a manner that saves future generations from the scourge of war. 3. The Charter is not merely a legal instrument. It is the moral foundation of the international order. It affirms the sovereign equality of States, prohibits the threat or use of force, calls for the peaceful settlement of disputes, upholds the right of peoples to self-determination and entrusts this Council with primary responsibility for the maintenance of international peace and security. Mr. President, 4. For Pakistan, these principles of the UN Charter are sacrosanct. They are the foundation of our foreign policy, the basis of our international engagement, and the guiding framework for our contribution to peace and security. 5. Pakistan’s commitment to the United Nations is, therefore, long-standing and principled. We have been among the leading contributors to UN peacekeeping in some of the world’s most difficult theatres. We have championed decolonization, self-determination, conflict prevention, sovereign equality and international cooperation. 6. Over the years, Pakistan has been a staunch advocate of pacific settlement of disputes. We are very grateful that the Security Council lent its full support to this cause by unanimously adopting Resolution 2788 presented by Pakistan in July 2025 on strengthening mechanisms for the peaceful settlement of disputes. It reaffirmed a powerful truth: diplomacy is not weakness; dialogue is not concession; peaceful settlement is not an option of last resort. It is the first duty of States under the Charter for promoting international peace and security. 7. That conviction guides Pakistan’s approach to the present crisis in the Middle East. As a friendly neighbour of Iran and brotherly countries of the Gulf, and a country with longstanding ties of amity with the United States, Pakistan consistently stood for restraint, de-escalation and a return to diplomacy. During my one-day visit to Beijing on 31st of March at the invitation of my friend, Foreign Minister Wang Yi, Pakistan and China announced the ‘Five Point Initiative for Restoring Peace and Stability in the Gulf and Middle East Region’. 8. Another prolonged conflict would serve no one. It would endanger regional peace, disrupt global energy flows, deepen humanitarian suffering and strain an already fragile international order. The path forward lies in diplomacy. We have exerted our sincere efforts in facilitating a durable solution that results in lasting peace and stability in the region, and keeps maritime routes open for all. We are continuing this noble endeavour with resolve and dedication. I thank the parties for the confidence reposed in Pakistan, and thank all our partners – including China, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Türkiye and Qatar – for their support. The entire world is watching – we must succeed in the interest of regional and global peace and security.
Mr. President, 9. The principle of peaceful settlement must apply with equal force to all long-standing disputes on this Council’s agenda. For nearly eight decades, the Jammu and Kashmir dispute has remained unresolved despite clear and multiple Security Council resolutions promising the Kashmiri people their right to self-determination. Durable peace in South Asia cannot be built on denial, unilateralism or repression. Nor can it coexist with attempts to hold the Indus Waters Treaty in abeyance – a vital framework for water cooperation and regional stability. Water must never be weaponized; treaties must be honoured; and disputes must be resolved through adherence to international law, dialogue and justice, and implementation of relevant Security Council resolutions. 10. The same fidelity to the Charter is required in Palestine. There can be no durable peace in the Middle East while occupation, collective punishment, forced displacement and illegal expansion of settlements continue. The situation in Gaza and the West Bank is becoming increasingly volatile and demands our continuous attention. The momentum generated by the New York Conference on Two-State solution and the Gaza Peace Plan presented by President Donald Trump endorsed by Security Council resolution 2803 must be sustained till its logical conclusion. Pakistan reaffirms its unwavering support for the Palestinian people’s right to self-determination and to an independent, viable and contiguous State of Palestine, based on pre-1967 borders, with Al-Quds Al-Sharif as its capital. Mr. President, 11. The crisis of the international system today is not caused by the absence of principles. The principles are there and have been clearly spelt out and globally agreed. The crisis lies in their selective application. When sovereignty is defended in one case but disregarded in another, the Charter is weakened. When occupation is condemned in one region but tolerated and even supported in another, justice is diminished. When Security Council resolutions are invoked selectively, the credibility of this Council is eroded. When powerful States act outside the law, smaller States are left to wonder whether the Charter protects all nations equally. 12. This selectivity is dangerous. It breeds mistrust, fuels grievances, encourages unilateralism and weakens the very multilateral system we all claim to uphold. A UN-centered international system can only be strengthened through consistency, equity and respect for law. Multilateralism cannot mean the management of global affairs by a few. It must mean the participation, voice and dignity of all. Mr. President, 13. This is why Pakistan supports comprehensive reform of the Security Council to make it more representative, democratic, transparent, accountable, and effective. Reform must not enlarge privilege or create new permanent seats of power. A reformed Council must reflect the collective interests of the wider membership, particularly developing countries. An equitable reform based on an increase in the number of elected non-permanent seats allocated to regions, together with improved working methods, is the only feasible way forward. Mr. President, 14. The purposes and principles of the Charter also require us to address the deeper drivers of insecurity: foreign occupation, denial of self-determination, poverty, inequality, racism, Islamophobia, hate speech, climate injustice, debt distress and underdevelopment. Peace is not merely the silence of guns. Peace is the presence of justice, the protection of civilians, the dignity of people, the promise of development, and the hope of equal rights. 15. The United Nations remains indispensable – in need of reform, undoubtedly; but indispensable. The world needs a renewed commitment to the Charter. It needs a Security Council that prevents wars, not merely debates on the wars; multilateralism that protects the weak, not merely accommodates the strong; diplomacy that acts before conflicts explode and generations suffer; justice that is not selective, peace that is not temporary, and law that is not optional. Mr. President, 16. In a fractured world, the Charter remains our common language. In an age of confrontation, it remains our common shield. In moments of crisis, it remains our common path back to peace. 17. Pakistan stands ready to work with all members of this Council to uphold the purposes and principles of the United Nations Charter, strengthen the UN-centered international system, and build an equitable and just international order where power is restrained by law, disputes are resolved through dialogue, and peace is secured through justice. 
I thank you! 4:07AM 27 May 2026

Ignorance, the root and stem of all evil on X: ""Paranoid and Pathetic": Russia Responds to Estonia Airspace Allegations At the United Nations, First Deputy Permanent Representative of Russia Dmitry Polyansky responded firmly to accusations of Russian airspace violations near Estonia. He denounced what he called Europe’s https://t.co/9HKuyhqGnp" / X He denounced what he called Europe’s “theater of absurdity,” where hysteria and Russophobia replace facts and evidence. Polyansky pointed out that the flight of Russian MiG-31s followed international rules and never entered Estonian airspace, while NATO and EU officials rushed to label the event “reckless behavior” without proof. He stressed that such false accusations only fuel tensions and distract from real issues of European security.  
In his speech, Polyansky also criticized the collapse of the so-called “Anti-Russia” project in Ukraine, the growing corruption and human rights abuses under the Zelensky regime, and the failure of European leaders to learn from history. He argued that Europe, driven by paranoia and political pressure, prefers to escalate anti-Russian hysteria rather than engage in dialogue. While rejecting baseless allegations, Polyansky reaffirmed that Russia remains open to a serious conversation on European security, the future of the continent, and building a safe, prosperous space for all.7:55PM 23 September 2025

"People without borders" refers to a vision where humanity transcends divisions such as nationality, ethnicity, and religion, advocating for unity and global cooperation. Those who support this idea envision a unipolar world focused on universal welfare, where global governance promotes equality, peace, and shared prosperity for all. However, within this unipolar framework, they also recognize the value of multipolar regions—regions with distinct cultural, political, and social systems that are empowered to manage their affairs locally.

The concept blends global unity with regional diversity. The overarching global order ensures that fundamental rights, human dignity, and welfare are protected, while allowing different regions to maintain their unique identities and governance models. This balance aims to prevent global hegemony by any single power and promotes regional autonomy within a globally connected world.

Key principles include:

  1. Global cooperation for shared challenges (climate change, peace, poverty).
  2. Regional autonomy, respecting local customs and governance structures.
  3. Promotion of equality and human rights universally.
  4. Economic systems that emphasize welfare and collective well-being over competition.

This concept promotes a harmonious balance between unity and diversity, ensuring both global welfare and regional self-determination.

The concept of a "people without borders" promoting a unipolar world with multipolar regions, when incorporating principles of democracy and just war, emphasizes both global welfare and ethical governance, while ensuring that conflicts are minimized and handled with justice. The integrated vision upholds key democratic ideals and ethical approaches to warfare within this global and regional structure.

1. Global Democracy and Regional Autonomy

  • Inclusive Global Governance: A unipolar world focuses on universal welfare, but governance must be democratic at both the global and regional levels. Global institutions would operate based on democratic principles—transparency, accountability, representation—where every region and people have a voice in decisions affecting humanity.
  • Decentralized Power with Multipolar Regions: Within this global framework, multipolar regions are allowed to self-govern based on their local democratic systems. This empowers different regions to embrace their own political, cultural, and social uniqueness while adhering to the universal democratic principles of participation, equality, and justice.
  • Civil Liberties and Human Rights: Every region would be committed to upholding basic civil liberties, such as freedom of speech, religion, and assembly, with a shared commitment to human dignity and the protection of minority rights.

2. Principles of Democracy

  • Equality and Inclusiveness: Both the unipolar global governance and multipolar regional systems must ensure equal participation in decision-making, regardless of race, religion, or nationality. This prevents any form of global or regional domination, fostering a truly inclusive society.
  • Rule of Law: The rule of law would govern interactions between regions and within each region. Legal frameworks must protect individual and collective rights while ensuring accountability and justice at all levels of governance.
  • Checks and Balances: Power must be distributed to prevent any single entity—whether a region or a global institution—from becoming dominant. This system would ensure that governance remains fair and that each region can self-determine without the interference of external powers.

3. Just War Principles in a Unified World

While the vision aims for global peace, the incorporation of just war principles ensures that if conflict does arise, it is approached ethically:

  • Just Cause: War or conflict must only be waged to prevent grave harm, such as defending against aggression or stopping severe violations of human rights. It cannot be used for conquest, domination, or exploitation.
  • Legitimate Authority: Any decision to go to war or engage in conflict must be made through a legitimate and democratic global institution, ensuring that no individual nation or region can unilaterally declare war without global consensus.
  • Right Intention: The purpose of war must be to restore peace and justice, not for territorial expansion or resource gain. The ultimate goal must always be to achieve peace and safeguard human dignity.
  • Proportionality: The use of force must be proportional to the threat, with efforts focused on minimizing civilian harm and destruction. Non-violent solutions should always be prioritized, and war should be a last resort.
  • Post-War Justice: After any conflict, rebuilding efforts must be focused on justice, reconciliation, and long-term peace. No region should be left destabilized or exploited post-conflict; instead, international cooperation should ensure the fair and just rebuilding of societies affected by war.

4. Conflict Prevention and Global Cooperation

  • Peaceful Dispute Resolution: In this model, global institutions would be dedicated to preventing conflicts before they arise through diplomacy, dialogue, and conflict resolution mechanisms that respect the autonomy of regions while seeking global solutions.
  • Collective Security: Rather than relying on unilateral military actions, this global system would prioritize collective security, where all regions work together to ensure peace, and any threat to one is considered a threat to all.
  • Non-Violence as a Principle: The overarching goal would be to resolve conflicts without violence, fostering a culture of peace, cooperation, and mutual respect.

Conclusion

In this model of a people without borders seeking a unipolar world for global welfare with multipolar regions, democracy serves as the foundation for governance at all levels—global and regional. Just war principles ensure that any use of force is strictly controlled, ethical, and aimed at preserving peace. This vision blends unity with diversity, democracy with self-determination, and peace with justice, aspiring toward a harmonious global order that benefits all humanity while respecting local autonomy.

Add reasons about failure of United Nations Organization
ChatGPT said:

The United Nations Organization (UNO), while founded with noble goals to maintain international peace, promote cooperation, and ensure global welfare, has faced significant challenges and criticisms over the years. Understanding these reasons is crucial for why a new vision, like a "people without borders" unipolar world with multipolar regions, is seen as a better alternative. Here are some key reasons behind the perceived failure or limitations of the UN:

1. Power Imbalance and Veto Power

  • Dominance of the Permanent Members (P5): The UN Security Council's five permanent members (China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the United States) hold veto power, meaning they can block any resolution regardless of international consensus. This often results in paralysis, especially when these powers have conflicting interests. This creates an unequal system where decisions are often driven by the political, economic, or military interests of these few nations.
  • Lack of Global Representation: Many regions and countries feel underrepresented in key decision-making processes. The structure of the UN gives disproportionate power to a few countries, leading to discontent among smaller or less powerful nations.

2. Failure to Prevent Conflicts

  • Inability to Stop Major Conflicts: The UN has been criticized for its failure to prevent or resolve several major conflicts, such as the Rwandan Genocide (1994), the wars in Syria, and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Despite its mandate to promote peace, the organization has often been slow to act or completely unable to stop widespread violence and humanitarian disasters.
  • Ineffective Peacekeeping Missions: While the UN has conducted many peacekeeping missions, some have been plagued by poor organization, insufficient resources, or a lack of clear mandates. As a result, peacekeepers have sometimes been unable to protect civilians or enforce peace agreements, leading to criticism of their overall effectiveness.

3. Bureaucratic Inefficiencies and Corruption

  • Slow and Bureaucratic Processes: The UN is often seen as a cumbersome bureaucracy where decision-making is slow, and action is delayed. Important resolutions and interventions can take months or even years to materialize due to lengthy negotiations and internal procedures.
  • Corruption and Mismanagement: There have been instances of corruption and mismanagement within the UN and its agencies. For example, the "Oil-for-Food" scandal in the early 2000s, where billions of dollars were misappropriated, damaged the credibility of the organization and highlighted governance issues.

4. Inability to Adapt to Modern Global Challenges

  • Outdated Structure: The UN was formed in 1945 after World War II, and its structure reflects the geopolitical realities of that time. However, the world has changed dramatically, and the UN’s structure has not kept pace. Emerging global powers, such as India and Brazil, still do not have permanent seats on the Security Council, while issues like cyber threats, climate change, and transnational terrorism require new strategies and forms of global cooperation.
  • Failure to Address Global Inequality: The UN has not been able to adequately address the growing economic disparities between rich and poor nations. Despite initiatives like the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), poverty, hunger, and inequality persist on a global scale, showing that its influence on economic reforms has been limited.

5. Inability to Enforce Resolutions

  • Lack of Enforcement Mechanisms: Many UN resolutions, especially those from the General Assembly, are non-binding, meaning that member states can choose to ignore them without consequence. Even in the Security Council, where resolutions are binding, the UN lacks the military or economic leverage to enforce its decisions in cases where powerful countries or regional actors disregard them.
  • Sovereignty vs. Global Governance: The UN’s commitment to respecting state sovereignty often conflicts with its role as a global peacekeeper. This limits its ability to intervene in situations where governments are responsible for gross human rights violations, such as in the cases of Syria, Myanmar, or the Democratic Republic of Congo. The reluctance to interfere in the internal affairs of states weakens its ability to enforce international norms.

6. Politicization of Humanitarian Aid and Development Programs

  • Selective Humanitarian Interventions: The UN has been accused of being selective in its humanitarian interventions, with interventions sometimes being influenced by political motives rather than based on human need. This erodes trust in the UN as a neutral body.
  • Dependency on Donor States: UN agencies rely heavily on funding from member states, especially wealthier nations, which can skew priorities and decision-making. Donor countries can influence how and where humanitarian aid is distributed, sometimes in ways that align more with their national interests than with global welfare needs.

7. Fragmentation and Lack of Coordination

  • Compartmentalization of Agencies: The UN is made up of numerous agencies, funds, and programs (e.g., WHO, UNICEF, UNDP), many of which operate independently of one another. This fragmentation often leads to a lack of coordination, inefficiency, and duplication of efforts in addressing global issues.
  • Overlapping Mandates: Multiple agencies may have overlapping mandates, which creates confusion and dilutes effectiveness. For example, both the UNDP and the World Bank are involved in development programs, sometimes competing rather than collaborating.

Conclusion: Need for a New Vision

The failure of the United Nations Organization to effectively prevent conflicts, address global inequalities, and function efficiently within an outdated structure has led many to call for a new global model—one like the "people without borders" vision. This alternative would offer a democratic unipolar system where global welfare is prioritized but with multipolar regions retaining their autonomy, creating a balance between global unity and local diversity. This vision also incorporates more equitable representation, decentralized governance, and just war principles to avoid the pitfalls of the current UN system, ensuring a more effective and fair global order for the future.
