KEY POINTS:

• To address the rising challenges of protectionism and isolationism, the international norms and rules-based system that have guided states for seven decades must rise to the occasion.
• Climate change, geopolitical conflicts, humanitarian and migration crises are global concerns that cut beyond states’ beliefs and interests, necessitating collective attention and action.
• The political and socioeconomic landscape, as well as inter-state interactions, have all been influenced by technological growth.

BACKGROUND:

• By a recorded vote of 144 in favour to 2 against, the General Assembly adopted the resolution “International Day of Multilateralism and Diplomacy for Peace” (A/RES/73/127) on December 12, 2018.
• The General Assembly, through that text, invites all United Nations Member States, observers, and organisations to observe the International Day in a proper manner and to disseminate the benefits of multilateralism and diplomacy for peace, including through educational and public awareness-raising activities.
