Hungary urges UN reform, proposes special envoy for future generations

President Andrish Balind Baka told the General Assembly that the United Nations must earn trust by applying the same principles to all members and by being able to act when the rules are broken. He said "Too often it fails to act when powerful states and their friends break the law rules. No country should be above the law."

To address long-term responsibilities, Baka said Hungary "supports stronger international action to protect [future generations'], including the appointment of a United Nations special envoy for future generations." He framed the proposal as part of a broader call for fair treatment of members and an institution capable of delivering on human rights, peacekeeping and protection duties.
