Austria's path to the UN Security Council: A plea for peace!

Wien, Österreich - Foreign Minister Beate Meinl-Reisinger (NEOS) started Austria's initiative for a non-independent seat in the UN Security Council for the period 2027/28. This significant campaign was presented at the United Nations headquarters in New York, where it emphasized that Austria would hold up the values of multilateralism, dialogue and cooperation. According to vienna.at Meinl-Reisinger said that it would be an honor for Austria to serve as a chosen member of the security council and was decided for the current reform support of the UN General Secretary António Guterres.

In her speech, Meinl-Reisinger pointed out the urgent challenges in front of which multilateralism was facing. She criticized the continuing inequality in the world and underlined the need to maintain the rule of law and communal norms. In view of the current political situation, in which universal values are under fire, the relevance of the United Nations is becoming increasingly clear. Guterres himself noted that multilateralism is under pressure when it is most needed and that the global order is unclear, threatened during democratic principles, such as Zeitschrift-vereinte-nations.de reported.

peace insurance and international cooperation

Meinl-Reisinger emphasized the importance of peacekeeping as a fundamental part of multilateral crisis management. She recalled that around 100,000 Austrians have been in use as peace soldiers worldwide since 1960, which Austria positions in peace missions as a reliable partner. Your foreign policy focuses on dialogue and mediation. This is particularly important in times when populist movements in many countries promote state sovereignty and unilateral interests and thus undermine multilateralism.

International cooperation, which has been considered necessary since the 1970s, is increasingly critically considered. The challenges with which multilateralism is confronted can also be seen in the withdrawal of states from multilateral agreements, such as the United States from the climate agreement, which is considered an expression of an "America first" thinking. Such developments illustrate the paths that remains in the international community when states pursue particularist goals, as the Article by Zeitschrift-vereinte-nations.de

new approaches to multilateralism

in the context of the necessary change to cope with the crises of multilateralism, Austria advocates a new networked multilateralism through increased partnerships with regional organizations such as the African Union, the European Union and the OSCE. The reform efforts in this area are urgently required to find collective solutions for global problems and to promote a regular -based international order. The giga study emphasizes that approval of reforming is also necessary among the countries of the "Alliance for Multilateralism", for stability and peace ensure.
