Accountability is the Foundation of Global Order
Living in a rules-based world is essential for global governance, as the current lack of respect for international law leads to total impunity. The deepening geopolitical divides allow troublemakers to act without consequences, resulting in increased conflicts and a proliferation of spoilers. Accountability is crucial to restore order, as organizations and nations operate under the misguided belief that they can act unchecked. The United Nations was established to counter this principle, underscoring the need for reforms in international institutions to address growing inequalities, climate change, and the challenges posed by artificial intelligence. Effective global governance demands a serious reconsideration of how policies are enforced and the roles of existing multilateral systems.
