He acknowledged the criticisms directed at the UN but highlighted its unparalleled mission in human history. Pahor pointed out the shift in the international system from multilateralism to sovereign states prioritizing their own interests, expressing the inadequacy of the UN Security Council's structure in resolving global crises. Bio called for urgent reform in the international system, stating that the current system no longer serves as a trusted forum for all, emphasizing the importance of dialogue in resolving conflicts. The panelists collectively stressed the importance of diplomacy, dialogue, and a more inclusive global system for sustainable peace.
