Presenting Ghana’s message to the 78th United Nations General Assembly in New York City USA.
“Ghana is currently serving out the second of its two-year term on the security council as a non-permanent member. This is the fourth time in the 66 years since we joined the UN, the first post-colonial African country to do so that we have the privilege to serve on the council, ” President Akufo-Addo said.
“It has been a sad and disappointing experience for us. We have witnessed firsthand, over and over again, that the bug powers of the United Nations might be preaching democracy, fairness, and justice around the world but are happy to practice the opposite here at the United Nations, prioritizing parochial interest over those of humanity” Akufo-Addo added.
To deal with this concern, President Akufo-Addo suggested that there is a need for urgent reform of the UN Security Council.
He indicated that anything short of reforming the existing structure of the UN Security Council will leave the global and her future in jeopardy.
