High-level Meeting to Commemorate the Seventy-fifth Anniversary of the United Nations
26 October 2020
Chad
H.E. Mr. Amine Abba Sidick
Statement Summary
AMINE ABBA SIDICK, Minister for Foreign Affairs of Chad, said the diplomacy of the Organization, created to prevent future generations from the scourge of war, has helped prevent the ravages of a global war. It has also fostered progress in human rights, gender equality, the environment, combating diseases and other areas. Yet, the United Nations is far from achieving the goals of its Charter. Developing countries remain vulnerable and millions of people have suffered from the ills the United Nations was designed to prevent, such as poverty and armed conflict. The international community needs to make an unwavering and renewed commitment to meet the goals of the 2030 Agenda, the Addis Ababa Action Agenda and the Paris Agreement. It is urgent to ensure that its development programmes are met and no one is left behind. Reforms are necessary. The partnership between the United Nations and the African Union has helped save lives and concentrate resources where they are most needed. A commitment to the Charter and multilateralism is necessary.
