New York, ANGOLA, September 27 - The Angolan President, João Lourenço, appealed on Wednesday in New York for reforms within the United Nations tailored to the current context.,

To the Angolan statesman, the emergence of new economic and financial poles as well as the technical and scientific progress justify the redefinition of the UN’s ways of intervention.  

 

The Angolan Head of State - who was addressing the UN General Assembly for the first time - also asked for the expansion of the UN Security Council to better represent the different geopolitical regions.

 

He deemed it essential that the UN take up a more active role in the promotion and monitoring of political, social and economic democratization processes, in the quest for solutions to conflicts, which in the majority of the cases result from politics of authoritarianism, exclusion and radicalism or the meddling in internal affairs of sovereign States.  

 

However, said the Angolan President, the bipolarization of the world, with antagonist political economic systems did not facilitate the application of principles for the sake of peace and international security.  

 

He also lauded the UN’s role in the abolition of colonialism and promotion of human rights.

       

To João Lourenço, it is not justifiable the spreading of conflicts apparently without solution, unjustifiable conflicts and of different dimensions with people suffering and left to their own fate.

 

The 73rd session of the UN General Assembly began on 18 September and it will last nine days.
