A South African case study for international dialogue and solidarity for justice and lasting peace

Nelson Mandela International Day

Despite the noises from extremists, ending Apartheid gave South Africa a chance to come together as a nation and built a peaceful and prosperous future together. The establishment of our constitutional democracy laid a solid basis for peace, progress and prosperity. Our Constitution as the supreme law of our country affirms the notion of an open and democratic society, underpinned by a set of higher, fundamental values based on human dignity, equality and freedom.

On the status of parliamentarism in general and in Germany in particular

International Day of Parliamentarism

On the occasion of the United Nations International Day of Parliamentarism on June 30, I would like to take the opportunity to make some basic remarks on the status of parliamentarism in general and in Germany in particular. June 30 is no coincidence because it is the date on which the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) was founded in 1889 as a multilateral political organization to promote international cooperation and resolve conflicts through parliamentary dialogue.

LAC of multilateral leadership?

How the Latin American and Caribbean region engages in the multilateral system, its current challenges and its untapped opportunities

The Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) region stands at a critical moment for global governance. It has a rare opportunity to shape agendas of the G-20, the UN Summit of the Future, the Conference of the Parties (COPs) on climate and biodiversity, as well as the Fourth Conference on Financing for Development and the ECOSOC agenda. However, while the region stands at the epicenter of global debates, it does not live up to its full potential for exerting multilateral leadership. How can the region overcome this lack of multilateral leadership?

Key Priorities of the Foreign Policy of Greece in View of the Candidature to the UN Security Council 2025-2026

A Conversation with H.E. George Gerapetritis, Foreign Minister of the Hellenic Republic

Amid unprecedented global challenges and multiplying conflicts, the United Nations Security Council—as the primary organ tasked with maintaining peace and security worldwide—remains more critical than ever. However, widening geopolitical rifts, intensifying political polarization, and the misuse of veto power by its permanent members have paralyzed the Council, constricting its action on pressing issues. Non-permanent, or elected, members have a unique opportunity to positively impact and influence the Council’s work and dynamics.

UN-Zukunftsgipfel

Ernüchterung statt Aufbruchsstimmung

Das multilaterale System mit den Vereinten Nationen im Zentrum befindet sich in einer Vertrauenskrise. Eine tiefgreifende Reform ist notwendig, jedoch stehen die Chancen in einer zunehmend polarisierten Weltordnung schlecht. Deutschland kommt in der Vorbereitung des UN-Zukunftsgipfels eine besondere Rolle zu.

Die Vereinten Nationen bezeichnen bestimmte Tage, Wochen, Jahre und Jahrzehnte als Anlässe, um Ereignisse oder Themen zu markieren, die durch Bewusstsein und Handeln die Ziele der Organisation fördern. Es sind ein oder mehrere Mitgliedsstaaten, die diese Gedenktage vorschlagen, und die Generalversammlung legt sie mit einer Resolution fest.

Die KAS New York möchte ein regelmäßiges virtuelles Gespräch über diese Themen anregen, indem sie eine Gruppe von Experten einlädt, über die zugeordneten internationalen Tage der Vereinten Nationen zu schreiben und zu reflektieren.

Als Teil unserer Rechtsstaatlichkeitsprojekte zielt dieser Blog auch darauf ab, das Bewusstsein für die internationalen Gerechtigkeitstage und die Arbeit, die die Vereinten Nationen bei der Verwirklichung von Frieden und Gerechtigkeit auf der ganzen Welt geleistet haben, zu schärfen, sowie eine weltweite Diskussion über den Beitrag der Vereinten Nationen zur Stärkung der Unabhängigkeit der Justiz zu führen.
