United Nations Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Libya, Hannah Tetteh, has warned that the weakening of the global multilateral system could have serious consequences for Africa, particularly countries with limited influence on the international stage. She stressed that sustaining effective multilateral institutions remains in the collective interest of United Nations member states, particularly those seeking stability and equitable representation in global affairs. The former Ghanaian Foreign Minister explained that the multilateral system, established through the United Nations Charter in 1945, was designed around the principle that global challenges require collective responses. She identified several global challenges that continue to test the multilateral system, including climate change, digital disruption, economic inequality and rising conflicts. She pointed to the adoption of the UN Pact for the Future in 2024 as part of efforts by member states to respond to emerging global challenges.
