This #UNDay marks 81 years since the UN was founded. This year, we’re returning to the UN’s founding promises, promises that, eighty-one years on, deserve the chance to be renewed. Add your voice: tell us what you would like to see from a renewed UN Charter.

After a hectic week in New York, we're now in Brussels, where we've continued to build momentum behind meaningful UN reform. @Article109's Ei & Saul presented UN Charter review as a pathway to renew international cooperation at the @Europarl_EN alongside elected representatives.

That's a wrap on #UNGA81, where @Article109 was on the ground making the case for renewing the UN Charter. We’re leaving New York encouraged. Encouraged because there is a growing recognition we need to move from rhetoric on reform, to actionable solutions. #UNGA

Finally, our very own Sofía García García, spoke on how Article 109 is a way to elevate the conversation; turning an institutional process into a discussion on designing a vision for the UN’s future. “We need the conversation on UN Security Council reform to meet the moment.”

Opening the session, Andrew Forrest laid out why @minderoo supports UN Charter review: "Why should the UN be expected to keep up with the lighting-fast speed of 2026, when its Charter was drafted in 1945? That is why Article 109 makes logical sense." Thank you @minderoo! #UNGA81

Our reception on the sidelines of #UNGA81 brought movers and shakers together to show support for reimagining international cooperation. It was a moment to reflect on the past year since our re-launch at last year’s high-level week – while having a good time in NYC Midtown!

@Laura_Ch, former President of Costa Rica and current President of @ClubdeMadrid, brought a coalition member’s perspective: “We joined this Coalition now over a year ago because we believe that defending multilateralism cannot mean defending the status quo.”
