Ethiopia calls for inclusive, fair multilateralism on celebration of UN Day

Addis Ababa, October 24, 2022 (FBC) – On October 24, the United Nations celebrates the anniversary of the UN Charter’s entry into force in 1945.

As a founding member of the United Nations, Ethiopia has remained committed to the principles of the United Nations Charter, Ministry of Foreign Affairs said.

Demonstrating our contribution to global peace and collective security, Ethiopian men and women have continued to play a robust role from the early days of UN peacekeeping missions in the 1950s.

As a firm believer in multilateralism, Ethiopia continues to be committed to global common aspirations for development. Ethiopia is proud and privileged to have hosted the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa for over 60 years.

Ethiopia calls for inclusive, fair, effective, and representative multilateralism to better respond to humanity’s most pressing challenges, building on the opportunities to amplify the pillars of the UN charter while celebrating UN Day.

Ethiopia, while celebrating multilateralism anchored on the UN Charter and its cardinal principles, calls for a reformed, efficient, and viable United Nations fit for purpose in the twenty-first century.
