The Dominican president proposed that these three principles should serve as a foundation to build a more representative, efficient, and capable United Nations that can respond to the demands of the people
NEW YORK.– President Luis Abinader called on the international community this Wednesday to act with “serenity, clarity and unity” to strengthen the multilateral system and build a United Nations with a greater capacity to respond to the challenges facing peoples.
During his speech at the 81st session of the United Nations (UN) General Assembly, the Dominican president used those three concepts to propose the need to move towards a more representative and efficient organization.

“Serenity, clarity, and unity. With those concepts, we must build a United Nations that is more representative, more efficient, and capable of meeting the demands of the people it serves,” stated Abinader.
The head of State maintained that, in the face of international challenges, the work of the United Nations should not be limited to the approval of resolutions, but must be translated into the effective fulfillment of the commitments undertaken.
“For that humanity that watches us, the resolutions we approve will not be enough, but rather those we duly fulfill,” he emphasized.
With his call for serenity, clarity and unity, Abinader raised the need to strengthen cooperation between States and the response capacity of the United Nations to the demands of an international community facing multiple challenges.
