Promoting and protecting human rights: Sustainable development can only be achieved for the people and by the people, through full economic, social and political inclusion. We are particularly encouraged by the dedication of Secretary-General Guterres to make the UN more fit for the peace and security challenges of our time also by integrating prevention into the three pillars of the work of the organization as well as enhancing the coherence of activities of the UN in this field. Strengthening preventive diplomacy as well as building trust and reconciliation: Hungary is strong advocate of preventive diplomacy, mediation and „putting peace first” in today’s complex security contexts. Hungary stands for better results through increased coordination, transparency and accountability. The UN needs to become more efficient, more relevant and more responsive to emerging challenges and needs, stemming from the implementation of the 2030 Agenda. We welcome the initiatives to modernize, simplify and restructure the UN bureaucracy and its main substantive pillars.

Working for a better United Nations: Hungary seeks to create a more responsive, effective, efficient and credible United Nations and therefore fully support the reform efforts of Secretary General Guterres. While Hungary is fully committed to fulfilling all obligations and goals of the United Nations, it puts particular emphasis to the following foreign policy priorities: The Permanent Mission acts in the spirit of dialogue, openness, inclusivity and bridge-building, with due respect for others’ positions, in search of long term, principled win-win solutions for the universal issues related to peace, security, social and economic development and human rights. The Permanent Mission of Hungary to the United Nations is tasked to actively participate in fulfilling the goals and principles of the United Nations, while promoting the national position of Hungary, and to advise national authorities on the developments in the international arena.

Our world, our future, our responsibility.
