Ireland backs UN peacekeeping reforms and calls for member-state support
Summary
At the General Assembly, Mihal Martin Tishuk welcomed the Secretary-General's report on the future of peacekeeping and said reforms will only succeed if member states provide political and financial backing.
Tishuk told the Assembly that while reforms are necessary to meet 21st-century challenges, they cannot succeed unless member states support the United Nations politically, financially, and through actions. He criticized the Security Council veto for stymieing the council and eroding legitimacy.
He urged that the Security Council's membership be made more representative, including historical underrepresentation of African countries, so that "the voices of small and the most vulnerable states are heard." He thanked Secretary-General António Guterres for leadership on climate and institutional reforms.
