Global order under strain, Africa must protect multilateral cooperation — Hannah Tetteh

United Nations Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Libya, Hannah Tetteh, has warned that the weakening of the global multilateral system could have serious consequences for Africa, particularly countries with limited influence on the international stage.

The former Ghanaian Foreign Minister explained that the multilateral system, established through the United Nations Charter in 1945, was designed around the principle that global challenges require collective responses.

Speaking at the 21st Kronti ne Akwamu Public Lecture by CDD on the theme, “The changing global and multilateral-based order: Implications for Ghana and Africa’s strategic positioning,” Mrs Tetteh said the decline of multilateral cooperation would disproportionately affect smaller and less powerful nations.
