The UN General Assembly adopted the “Pact for the Future,” aiming to enhance the organization’s global relevance and effectiveness. Despite opposition from Russia and Iran, the pact was approved. It pledges accelerated progress on the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, climate commitments, and human rights, including women’s rights. The pact includes annexes on AI regulation and future generations’ wellbeing. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres emphasized the need for action, not just agreement. The pact’s implementation will involve various UN forums and agencies, with some proposals being specific and others more rhetorical.
