The chancellor Pablo Quirno warned in the Security Council that the UN risks losing relevance if it does not reduce its bureaucracy, improve its responsiveness, and once again defend Western values, while supporting the Argentine candidacy of Rafael Grossi to become the next Secretary General of the organization.
The Argentine proposal directly addressed one of the major problems of the multilateral system: the accumulation of bureaucratic structures, overlapping mandates, and agendas increasingly detached from results. Quirno called for progress towards a multilateralism that respects the sovereignty of States, manages their resources responsibly, is accountable, and focuses its energy on realistic objectives.
The stance is framed within the principles that President Javier Milei presented to the General Assembly in 2025: preserving peace as a central priority, limiting international action to problems that exceed the capacity of States, evaluating the real utility of each program, and simplifying regulations to promote freedom, trade, and the prosperity of nations.
