Pope Francis said the need to reform the United Nations was “more than obvious” after the Covid-19 pandemic and the Ukraine war exposed its limits, in an extract of his new book published on Sunday.
The Argentine pontiff said the Ukraine war highlighted the need to ensure the current multilateral structure — especially the UN Security Council — finds “more agile and effective ways of resolving conflicts”.
“In wartime, it is essential to affirm that we need more multilateralism and a better multilateralism,” but the UN is no longer fit for “new realities”, he added in an extract published by La Stampa daily.
The organisation was founded to prevent the horrors of two World Wars from happening again, but although the threat represented by those conflicts was still alive, “today’s world is no longer the same”, said Francis.
“The necessity of these reforms became more than obvious after the pandemic” when the current multilateral system “showed all its limits”, he added.
Francis denounced the unequal distribution of vaccines as a “glaring example” of the law of the strongest prevailing over solidarity.
The 85-year-old advocated “organic reforms” aimed at allowing international organisations to rediscover their essential purpose of “serving the human family” and said international institutions must be the result of the “widest possible consensus”.
The pope also proposed guaranteeing food, health, economic and social rights on which international institutions would base their decisions.
Francis’s new book, “I ask you in the name of God: Ten prayers for a future of hope”, is due to come out in Italy on Tuesday.
