“We have two we have two great responsibilities for those that will come after us. The first, is to never go backwards. We cannot back down from promoting equality between men and women, nor from the fight against racism and all forms of discrimination. We cannot live again with nuclear threats, nor it is unacceptable to regress to a world divided into ideological borders and zones of influence. To naturalize the hunger of 733 million people would be shameful. Going back on our commitments is calling into question everything that we have worked so hard to build.”

6. SOUNDBITE (Portuguese) Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, President, Brazil:
“The Pact for the Future shows us the direction we should follow. The document addresses important topics such as the debt of developing countries and international taxation in a groundbreaking manner. The creation of a forum for dialog between heads of state and government and leaders of international financial institutions promises to place the UN at the centre of the global economic debate. The global digital pact is a starting point for inclusive digital governance with the potential to reduce asymmetries in access to the benefits of the economy based on data, and to mitigate the impact of new technology.”

8. SOUNDBITE (English) Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, President, Brazil:
“The global governance crisis requires structural transformations, the pandemic, the conflicts in Europe and the Middle East, the arms race, and the climate crisis have reviewed the limitations of multilateral fora. Most bodies lack the authority and the means of implementation to enforce their decision challenges that persist and those that will arrive.”

Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva today (22 Sep) issued a call “to never go backwards” on the progress that has been already achieved on multilateral issues, and said the Pact for the Future “shows us the direction we should follow.”
Lula said, “we cannot back down from promoting equality between men and women, nor from the fight against racism and all forms of discrimination. We cannot live again with nuclear threats, nor it is unacceptable to regress to a world divided into ideological borders and zones of influence. To naturalize the hunger of 733 million people would be shameful. Going back on our commitments is calling into question everything that we have worked so hard to build.”
The pact for the future, he said, “addresses important topics such as the debt of developing countries and international taxation in a groundbreaking manner," while "the creation of a forum for dialog between heads of state and government and leaders of international financial institutions promises to place the UN at the centre of the global economic debate."
The global digital pact, Lula continued, "is a starting point for inclusive digital governance with the potential to reduce asymmetries in access to the benefits of the economy based on data, and to mitigate the impact of new technology.”
Nevertheless, the Brazilian President called for “structural transformations” and said, “the pandemic, the conflicts in Europe and the Middle East, the arms race, and the climate crisis have reviewed the limitations of multilateral fora. Most bodies lack the authority and the means of implementation to enforce their decision challenges that persist and those that will arrive.”
World leaders today adopted the Pact for the Future, a landmark declaration pledging concrete actions towards a safer, more peaceful, sustainable and inclusive world for tomorrow’s generations.
