“We need a reset, and we need to reset. Those of us here today, representing our brothers and our sisters the world over, have endured four years of poly crisis. As the children of Mother Earth, we continue to wrestle with climate crisis, as a human family, we grapple with the legacy of the pandemic.”

“We are all now threatened by the second but silent pandemic of antimicrobial resistance, together with a growing incidence of death and disability from chronic non communicable diseases. We cannot afford the distraction of war. If ever there was a time to pause and to reset, it is now.”

“My friends, we are reminded that 2024 is the final year of the United Nations decade for the people of African descent. Much has been achieved, but the recognition, the justice and the development for people of African descent that was promised by this decade has, to say the least, not yet been fully realized. And it is for this reason that the Caribbean Community joins the growing chorus and my own country in particular, for the immediate proclamation of a second decade to complete the unfinished work and address the matter of reparations for slavery and colonialism.”

“Mister President, of necessity, the reset must also be characterized by institutional reform, which has to start in the United Nations councils. These councils suggest that some are full members and others are only part members, and some may part time members, and some may be occasional members. All of this has no place in the 21st century.”
