Storyline

Meeting at the UNHQ in New York, world leaders adopted a Pact for the Future today (22 Sep) to honour existing commitments and solve long-term global challenges.

A Pact for the Future was adopted to applause this morning in New York by all United Nations Member States despite a draft amendment from the Russian delegation and a point of order to decide not to submit this draft to a vote.

The point of order, presented by the Congo, was adopted by 143 votes in favour to 7 against (Belarus, Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, Iran, Nicaragua, Russian Federation, Sudan and Syria), with 15 abstentions.

The Pact is a commitment to a new beginning for multilateralism. It has two annexes: the Global Digital Pact and the Declaration on Future Generations.

The Summit of the Future (22-23 September 2024) is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to enhance cooperation on critical challenges and address gaps in global governance, reaffirm existing commitments including to the Sustainable Development Goals and the United Nations Charter, and move towards a reinvigorated multilateral system that is better positioned to positively impact people's lives.
