JEAN-CLAUDE GAKOSSO, Minister for Foreign Affairs of Congo, said the United Nations needs a renewed commitment and must work to fully play its role in global governance.  It must adhere to its pillars of peace and security, socioeconomic development and human rights.  In the face of today’s rampant unilateralism, the Congo reaffirms its commitment to multilateralism.  Yet multilateralism can only prosper within a fair and equitable system that keeps pace with the realities of the times.  There remains a need to reform the Organization’s main beacon, the Security Council.  Africa maintains a common position and reaffirms that one or two of its States should sit as permanent members of the Council.
