World leaders have hailed adoption of a pact at UN Summit of the Future

World leaders have hailed adoption of a pact at UN Summit of the Future - Heads of State and Governments have emphasized the need to rethink global governance and create a fairer, more inclusive multilateral system that will “benefit all countries” rather than “increase the power of a few”, as the Summit of the Future concluded its second and final day. Warning that inaction could lead the planet “to a dark future”, they stressed the need for Security Council reform, greater youth engagement in decision-making and bold actions to address the adverse impacts of climate change.

HSH Prince Albert II of Monaco said that the Pact for the Future establishes a bedrock for a more prosperous world and allows young people to flourish in an environment protected from security threats such as transnational crime. He added that "peace is our most valuable asset”, noting that without access to human rights, a world benefiting all people is impossible.
