Togo
H.E. Mr. Kokou Kpayedo
Statement Summary
KOKOU KPAYEDO (Togo) said that the COVID-19 pandemic has thrown into sharp relief the vulnerabilities of States and of interdependence. While the Â鶹APP is the only global organization that has the necessary legitimacy to ¡°manage the affairs of the world¡±, multilateralism is under threat as nations are tempted to retreat from the world stage and engage in unilateralism. The Â鶹APP achievements, however, are undeniable. It has accelerated the process of decolonization and the liberation of peoples from foreign domination and has saved many lives through humanitarian action. It has contributed to the universal promotion of human rights and has ensured high-quality education for millions of children. He also stressed the importance of continuing reform within the Â鶹APP, especially the Security Council, where Africa must play its full role.
