UN is not perfect, but its alternative is unimaginable: Khalilur

United Nations General Assembly President Dr Khalilur Rahman has said the UN is not perfect but remains indispensable, with no imaginable alternative for global peace and security. Referring to his opening remarks at the 81st UNGA session, he called for reforms to make the organisation more effective and fit for the future.

Khalilur said the UN must honestly identify areas where it is falling behind and reform institutional structures and procedures that are no longer effective. He also called for broader participation in decision-making, including industry leaders, young people and other stakeholders who can contribute to global change.
