As world leaders gather in New York City for the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA), they face a world in turmoil. More countries are engaged in conflict in 2024 than since World War II. In the first general debate since the start of the Israel-Hamas War, world leaders will attempt to address solutions to active combat while also encouraging cooperation. The UNGA debate will run from September 24 to 30.
Three Latin American presidents will give their maiden addresses to the General Assembly: Argentina’s Javier Milei, Guatemala’s Bernardo Arévalo, and Panama’s José Raúl Mulino. Ecuador’s Daniel Noboa was slated to give his first UNGA speech, but had to return home early to tend to wildfires in Quito.
Topics centered on Latin America, including extreme weather events, fraud in Venezuela’s July elections, and migration, have already come up in leaders’ speeches. There’s also ongoing discussion on how to reform the UN to increase the representation of Latin America, along with Africa and Asia, in bodies such as the UN Security Council.
As the UNGA proceeds, AS/COA Online tracks major speeches and developments related to the region.
