ABSTRACT
In the last chapter of this book, Chapter 6, key policy recommendations are summarized from previous chapters, with an elaboration on how they contribute to the implementation of the UN75 Declaration in supporting the UN’s three pillars: peace and security, sustainable development and human rights in a post-COVID world. The author then turns to human rights and the rule of international law, as well as policy implications for the principal organs of the United Nations. The chapter recommends reforms to mobilize the Security Council, revitalize the General Assembly and strengthen the independence of the Secretariat. The conclusion is reached that the future of diplomacy is multilateral, with the argument that to survive, as a human race, we must stand together and forge a multilateral response to these common challenges guided by our universally accepted principles.
