Uganda urges UN to empower vulnerable population

World leaders on September 23 adopted the Pact that includes a Global Digital Compact and a Declaration on Future Generations.

This Pact is the culmination of an inclusive, years-long process to adapt international cooperation to the realities of today and the challenges of tomorrow. It’s the most wide-ranging international agreement in many years, covering entirely new areas as well as issues on which agreement has not been possible in decades.

Ms Amongi said there is need for further commitment, concrete actions and reforms to the governance structures of the UN, and rethinking multilateralism to address the challenges outlined in the pact, since they transcend borders and target the wellbeing of humanity.

Addressing the side meeting of the women's forum of the President of the General Assembly, Ms Amongi further said children, youth and vulnerable communities will be the one to shoulder the consequences of our actions today. They will face the burden of restoring what we have destroyed, hence the need to truly boost the participation of youth and women, and other vulnerable groups.
