A year from now, on June 26, 2020, the international community will celebrate the 75th anniversary of the signing of the United Nations Charter. That doesn’t leave much time to hammer out a “concise, substantive, forward-looking and unifying declaration” that captures member states’ commitment to multilateralism and to the UN before the world leaders summit meeting on Sept. 21, 2020 — as the General Assembly resolved this month.
Anniversaries invariably put the UN in a state of reflection, giving it a chance to assess achievements, renew commitments and — where there’s will — strengthen systems and mechanisms for global governance. The UN missed the boat in doing so during its 50th anniversary, in 1995, compelling Secretary-General Kofi Annan to push for adoption of several new goals, including one aimed at improved peace-building, 10 years later.
Can a similar push be made in 2020?
