On behalf of the Government and people of Liberia, I congratulate Your Excellency, Khalilur Rahman, on your election as President of the Eighty-First Session of the General Assembly, and I assure you of Liberia's full support. We also thank Her Excellency Annalena Baerbock for her leadership during the Eightieth Session. As Secretary-General António Guterres prepares to conclude his tenure, Liberia salutes his principled leadership and tireless commitment to reform. Mr. President, the theme of this session, “Restoring Trust, Managing Transformation: A United Nations that Delivers for All,” frames, in our view, a lingering crisis of legitimacy and relevance that demands urgent attention. Trust in multilateralism is broken and needs to be restored, not because the principles of the Charter are no longer relevant, but because we have applied them inconsistently and selectively, fueling global fragmentation. Our answer to that fragmentation cannot be less multilateralism. It must be better multilateralism! Read more
