Algiers, Algeria | September 15th, 2024 — President Abdelmadjid Tebboune delivered a compelling address, urging global leaders to coalesce in the face of unprecedented security, climate, and development crises that jeopardize the world’s stability. Tebboune’s remarks, presented during the virtual “Global Call for the Summit of the Future,” underscored Algeria’s firm support for the United Nations and called for collective action through a proposed “Pact for the Future.” This bold initiative, expected to be ratified after international governmental negotiations, aims to reshape global governance at a critical juncture in world affairs.

“Our world stands at a perilous crossroads,” President Tebboune declared, signaling the gravity of the crises at hand. The president’s speech came ahead of the highly anticipated “Summit of the Future,” scheduled for September 22-23, 2024, a key diplomatic moment that Tebboune believes will determine the future trajectory of global cooperation. With a tone of urgency, Tebboune pressed world leaders to recognize the interconnected nature of contemporary crises, warning that failure to act could destabilize the international order.

A Call for a Stronger United Nations in a Critical Era

President Tebboune passionately defended the United Nations as an “irreplaceable and indispensable” force for global peace and security, arguing that now more than ever, the UN’s foundational role in safeguarding collective interests must be revitalized. He implored world leaders not to treat the upcoming Summit as a mere diplomatic occasion but as a turning point for humanity—a moment that demands a recommitment to the core values of the UN Charter, including peace, justice, and equitable relations among nations.

“The Summit of the Future is not just another event,” Tebboune emphasized. “It must be understood as a historic turning point—a renewal of our collective commitment to the principles that have long been enshrined in the UN Charter.” He expressed that these values are essential for maintaining global security and building a more just international order. According to Tebboune, this summit offers a vital chance to correct past diplomatic failures, which have allowed conflicts to simmer and global inequalities to deepen.

President Tebboune framed the upcoming discussions as a rare and crucial opportunity to reshape the global landscape, one that must not be missed. “This is the moment to correct the course of history, to address the missed opportunities of the past, and to lay the foundation for a future defined by peace, stability, and shared prosperity,” he declared.

Ending Africa’s Marginalization and Righting Historical Wrongs

In a forceful critique of global power imbalances, President Tebboune condemned the systemic marginalization of African nations, calling for an overhaul of the international order to reflect Africa’s rightful role in shaping global decisions. “For too long, Africa has been sidelined and silenced in the corridors of global power,” Tebboune asserted, emphasizing the need to rectify centuries of exploitation, colonial domination, and external interference that continue to haunt the continent.

President Tebboune’s call for justice was unequivocal: “We must respond to the voices of the oppressed and dismantle the last remnants of imperialism, occupation, and colonial subjugation.” This resounding plea for global equity also included a call for the international community to address the lasting consequences of these historical injustices, particularly in the Global South. He made it clear that genuine global security and stability could not be achieved until the legacies of colonialism and occupation were fully eradicated, paving the way for the sovereignty and dignity of all nations.

A Collective Duty to Future Generations

Concluding his address, President Tebboune reminded his global counterparts of their shared responsibility to future generations, stressing the need for tangible outcomes from the summit. He urged leaders to seize this moment to forge meaningful change, stating, “It is our collective duty to ensure that the Summit’s outcomes lead to concrete actions that guarantee a future where peace, justice, and equality prevail.”

President Tebboune’s powerful call to action was more than a plea for unity—it was a stark reminder of the heavy responsibility resting on the shoulders of today’s leaders to shape a more equitable world. As he issued a final rallying cry, Tebboune left no doubt about the urgency of the task: “This is a historic moment—one that will define whether we leave behind a world of division and conflict or one of cooperation and shared prosperity for generations to come.”
