Mr. President,

Eighty (80) years ago, in the aftermath of two devastating global wars, visionary leaders gathered in San Francisco with a profound understanding of the urgent need for a new world – one built on the principles of peace, security, and international cooperation. The Charter they forged was not a mere document; it was a testament to the resilience of humanity; an unwavering hope for a better future, and a commitment to actively build that future.

Statement by Honourable Hugh Todd, Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation of the Co-operative Republic of Guyana at the UNSC Open debate on Poverty, Underdevelopment and Conflict: Implications for the Maintenance of International Peace

As challenges to international peace and security evolve, so too must our approach to resolving and preventing conflict. This requires us to delve deeper, including by addressing the root causes of conflict.
