– having regard to the oral conclusions drawn by President António Costa following the informal meeting of the members of the European Council of 22 January 2026,

A. billi, fil-klima ġeopolitika attwali, huwa ta’ importanza kritika li jiġi sostnut u msaħħaħ l-ordni internazzjonali bbażat fuq ir-regoli u li jiġi żgurat il-funzjonament effiċjenti tal-organizzazzjonijiet intergovernattivi;

– having regard to Rule 121 of its Rules of Procedure,

B. billi d-demokrazija, is-sistemi tagħha, l-istandards tagħha u l-valuri tagħha huma pilastri fundamentali tas-sistema multilaterali attwali; billi sistema multilaterali bbażata fuq ir-regoli hija promossa mid-demokraziji, inkwantu huma reċiprokament vantaġġużi; billi dinja magħmula minn demokraziji, mifhuma bħala sistemi demokratiċi maturi, hija dinja għalkollox aktar libera, għax għandha sistema ta’ kontrokontrolli importanti li timpedixxi li l-awtokraziji jġibu ruħhom b’mod imprevedibbli fil-kuntest internazzjonali; billi d-demokrazija tinsab taħt assedju fix-xena internazzjonali minn reġimi awtoritarji, totalitarji u illiberali, li qed jattakkawha kemm minn ġewwa kif ukoll minn barra l-fruntieri tagħhom;

– having regard to the report of the Committee on Foreign Affairs (A10-0103/2026),

C. billi s-sistema multilaterali qiegħda ssib quddiemha theddid dejjem akbar, pereżempju l-gwerra ta’ aggressjoni illegali tar-Russja kontra l-Ukrajna, li tikkostitwixxi attakki fuq l-arkitettura globali tal-paċi u tas-sigurtà, inkluż il-Kunsill tas-Sigurtà tan-Nazzjonijiet Uniti (KSNU), l-influwenza taċ-Ċina li qed tiżdied u l-irtirar inkwetanti tal-Istati Uniti mill-organizzazzjonijiet internazzjonali, kif ukoll it-tqaċċit tal-finanzjamenti li jolqot lil setturi kritiċi, pereżempju l-assistenza umanitarja, l-edukazzjoni, it-tibdil fil-klima, it-theddid ibridu, id-dritt internazzjonali, is-saħħa u l-konsolidazzjoni tal-paċi; billi l-kritika tal-istat attwali tas-sistema multilaterali tiġi wkoll mill-pajjiżi demokratiċi u mill-alleati (naturali) tal-UE; billi l-inkapaċità tal-KSNU u tal-membri permanenti tiegħu li jaġixxu quddiem il-ksur gravi tal-Karta tan-Nazzjonijiet Uniti kkontribwiet għall-kritika pubblika fil-konfront tan-Nazzjonijiet Uniti b’mod ġenerali;

A. whereas, in the current geopolitical climate, it is of critical importance to uphold and strengthen the rules-based international order and to ensure the efficient functioning of intergovernmental organisations;

D. billi l-użu tal-istrumenti ekonomiċi, bħad-dazji, il-kontrolli fuq l-esportazzjonijiet u s-sanzjonijiet, biex jintlaħqu għanijiet ġeopolitiċi barra mill-oqfsa multilaterali għandu l-potenzjal li jdgħajjef l-Organizzazzjoni Dinjija tal-Kummerċ, jifframmenta l-ekonomija globali, iżid l-inugwaljanzi globali u jolqot lill-pajjiżi li qed jiżviluppaw u lill-popolazzjonijiet vulnerabbli;

B. whereas democracy, its systems, standards and values, are bedrock pillars of the current multilateral system; whereas a rules-based multilateral system is promoted by democracies, as they are mutually beneficial; whereas a world of democracies, understood as mature democratic systems, is an altogether freer world, given their significant checks and balances that prevent the unpredictable behaviour of autocracies in the international context; whereas democracy is under siege in the international arena by authoritarian, totalitarian and illiberal regimes, which are attacking it both within and beyond their borders;

E. billi t-tentattivi biex tiddgħajjef l-arkitettura tal-paċi tan-Nazzjonijiet Uniti, inklużi l-attakki fuq il-Kummissjoni tan-Nazzjonijiet Uniti għall-Konsolidazzjoni tal-Paċi u fuq strutturi usa’ tal-governanza tal-paċi, jikkostitwixxu sforz biex tiġi mminata l-kapaċità tan-Nazzjonijiet Uniti li jipprevjenu l-kunflitti, isostnu r-rikostruzzjoni ta’ wara l-kunflitti u jagħmluha ta’ garanti tal-paċi u tas-sigurtà internazzjonali;

C. whereas the multilateral system is facing growing threats, such as Russia’s illegal war of aggression against Ukraine, which constitute attacks on the global peace and security architecture, including the UN Security Council (UNSC), China’s rising influence and the worrying withdrawal of the United States from international organisations, as well as cuts to funding affecting critical areas such as humanitarian assistance, education, climate change, hybrid threats, international law, health and peacebuilding; whereas criticism of the current state of the multilateral system also comes from democratic countries and (natural) allies of the EU; whereas the inability of the UNSC and its permanent members to act in the face of major violations of the UN Charter has contributed to public criticism of the UN as a whole;

F. billi l-globalizzazzjoni u l-isfidi bħal, fost oħrajn, it-tibdil fil-klima, in-nonproliferazzjoni tal-arma ta’ qerda massiva, il-pandemiji, it-terroriżmu u l-ġlieda kontra l-kriminalità organizzata u t-traffikar tad-droga u tal-bnedmin kif ukoll il-ġestjoni tal-migrazzjoni jirrikjedu risposti multilaterali; billi t-tqaċċit lill-finanzjamenti u l-irtirar mill-organi u mill-pjattaformi multilaterali ewlenin dgħajfu l-kapaċità tal-komunità internazzjonali li tirrispondi b’mod effikaċi għal tali kriżijiet;

D. whereas using economic tools such as tariffs, export controls, and sanctions to achieve geopolitical goals outside multilateral frameworks has the potential to weaken the World Trade Organization, fragment the global economy, deepen global inequalities and affect developing countries and vulnerable populations;

G. billi s-sistema tan-Nazzjonijiet Uniti hija l-pedament tas-sistema multilaterali attwali; billi tibqa’ l-qafas l-aktar xieraq li fih isir progress, bl-objettivi fundamentali tagħha fil-qasam tal-promozzjoni tal-paċi, tad-drittijiet tal-bniedem u tal-iżvilupp sostenibbli fil-livell globali; billi s-sistema tan-Nazzjonijiet Uniti jaf għaddejja minn għeja strutturali, parzjalment minħabba n-nuqqas ta’ adattament tagħha għall-atturi internazzjonali l-ġodda li jaqsmu magħha l-istess prinċipji, bħall-UE;

E. whereas attempts to weaken the UN peace architecture, including attacks on the UN Peacebuilding Commission and broader peace governance structures, constitute an effort to undermine the UN’s capacity to prevent conflict, support post-conflict reconstruction and act as a guarantor of international peace and security;

H. billi l-KSNU huwa organu ferm importanti għaż-żamma tal-paċi u tas-sigurtà internazzjonali u, fid-dawl tal-gravità u tal-kumplessità tal-isfidi attwali, għandu jiżvolġi rwol aktar effikaċi u deċiżiv;

F. whereas globalisation and challenges such as climate change, the non-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, pandemics, terrorism, the fight against organised crime, drug and human trafficking, and the management of migration, among others, require multilateral responses; whereas funding cuts and withdrawals from key multilateral bodies and platforms have weakened the international community’s ability to respond effectively to such crises;

I. billi r-riforma tas-sistema tan-Nazzjonijiet Uniti hija neċessarja biex jiġi żgurat li tkun adatta għall-iskop; billi l-Inizjattiva UN80 hija inizjattiva pożittiva; billi n-Nazzjonijiet Uniti ma jistgħux ikunu mistennija jagħmlu aktar b’anqas riżorsi għad-dispożizzjoni;

G. whereas the UN system is the cornerstone of the current multilateral system; whereas it remains the most appropriate framework in which to move forward, with its core objectives of promoting peace, human rights and sustainable development at a global level; whereas the UN system may be experiencing structural fatigue, partly due to its lack of adaptation to new international actors that share its principles, such as the EU;

J. billi d-dikjarazzjonijiet u l-azzjonijiet li jheddu s-sovranità u l-integrità territorjali tar-Renju tad-Danimarka u ta’ Greenland u l-awtodeterminazzjoni tal-popolazzjoni ta’ Greenland jirrappreżentaw ksur tal-prinċipji fundamentali tad-dritt internazzjonali, fosthom ir-rispett tas-sovranità, tal-integrità territorjali u tal-awtodeterminazzjoni, u jikkontribwixxu għan-normalizzazzjoni tad-diplomazija koerċittiva;

H. whereas the UNSC is a very important body for maintaining international peace and security and, given the seriousness and complexity of the current challenges, should play a more effective and decisive role;

K. billi r-riżoluzzjoni 2803 tal-KSNU laqgħet il-ħolqien ta’ Bord ta’ Paċi bħala amministrazzjoni ta’ tranżizzjoni b’personalità ġuridika internazzjonali li tistabbilixxi l-qafas u tikkoordina l-finanzjamenti u l-iżvilupp mill-ġdid ta’ Gaża skont Pjan Komprensiv u, b’mod konsistenti mal-prinċipji ġuridiċi internazzjonali rilevanti, għal perkors kredibbli lejn soluzzjoni ta’ żewġ Stati; billi l-President tal-Kunsill Ewropew Costa, fost oħrajn, esprima dubji serji dwar għadd ta’ elementi tal-karta tal-Bord ta’ Paċi relatati mal-kamp ta’ applikazzjoni, mal-governanza u mal-kompatibbiltà tiegħu mal-Karta tan-Nazzjonijiet Uniti; billi l-Parlament jesprimi solidarjetà mal-vittmi tal-vjolenza tal-abitanti tal-insedjamenti fix-Xatt tal-Punent;

I. whereas the reform of the UN system is necessary to ensure it is fit for purpose; whereas the UN80 initiative is a welcome initiative; whereas the UN cannot be expected to do more with fewer resources;

L. billi f’Awwissu 2025 l-amministrazzjoni Trump impediet lill-President Palestinjan Mahmoud Abbas u lil 80 uffiċjal Palestinjan milli jattendu għal-laqgħa tal-mexxejja dinjin fl-okkażjoni tal-Assemblea Ġenerali tan-Nazzjonijiet Uniti (AĠNU) fi New York; billi l-prinċipji ta’ inklużività u universalità li jirfdu s-sistema tan-Nazzjonijiet Uniti jridu jiġu difiżi f’kull mument;

J. whereas statements and actions threatening the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Kingdom of Denmark and Greenland and the self-determination of the Greenlandic people represent a violation of fundamental principles of international law, including respect for sovereignty, territorial integrity and self-determination, and contribute to the normalisation of coercive diplomacy;

M. billi l-UE żżomm l-impenn tagħha favur id-dritt internazzjonali u l-Karta tan-Nazzjonijiet Uniti u r-regoli u l-prinċipji tagħha, fosthom dawk ta’ sovranità, integrità territorjali u awtodeterminazzjoni, kif ukoll tad-drittijiet tal-bniedem u tal-libertajiet fundamentali, u ssostni bil-qawwa sistema multilaterali bbażata fuq id-dritt internazzjonali, iċċentrata fuq in-Nazzjonijiet Uniti;

K. whereas UNSC Resolution 2803 welcomed the establishment of a Board of Peace as a transitional administration with international legal personality that sets the framework, and coordinates funding for, the redevelopment of Gaza pursuant to the Comprehensive Plan and, in a manner consistent with relevant international legal principles, for a credible pathway to a two-state solution; whereas European Council President Costa, among others, has expressed serious doubts about a number of elements in the charter of the Board of Peace relating to its scope, governance and compatibility with the UN Charter; whereas Parliament expresses solidarity with the victims of settler violence in the West Bank;

N. billi l-UE, bħala attur globali, għandha tiżvolġi rwol aktar b’saħħtu fi ħdan in-Nazzjonijiet Uniti; billi l-UE qiegħda żżid progressivament il-kapaċitajiet ta’ sigurtà u ta’ difiża tagħha, bil-għan li terfa’ aktar responsabbiltajiet fil-qasam tal-prevenzjoni tal-kunflitti, tal-ġestjoni tal-kriżijiet, tad-difiża u tal-konsolidazzjoni tal-paċi;

L. whereas in August 2025 the Trump administration barred Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and 80 Palestinian officials from attending the meeting of world leaders at the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York; whereas the principles of inclusiveness and universality underpinning the UN system must be upheld at all times;

O. billi jidher essenzjali li l-UE tintensifika l-kooperazzjoni tagħha mas-sħab kollha, inklużi n-Nazzjonijiet Uniti u l-aġenziji tagħha, biex tmexxi ’l quddiem b’mod konġunt il-proċess ta’ riforma interna tan-Nazzjonijiet Uniti u b’hekk tiżgura li n-Nazzjonijiet Uniti jibqgħu effikaċi, effiċjenti f’termini ta’ kostijiet u kapaċi jindirizzaw l-isfidi globali dejjem akbar ta’ żminijietna;

M. whereas the EU remains committed to international law and the UN Charter and its rules and principles, including those of sovereignty, territorial integrity and self-determination, and to human rights and fundamental freedoms, and stands firmly in support of a multilateral system based on international law, with the UN at its core;

P. billi l-Kumitat għall-Affarijiet Barranin (AFET) tal-Parlament huwa kompetenti, fost affarijiet oħra, għar-relazzjonijiet man-Nazzjonijiet Uniti fir-rigward tal-kwistjonijiet li jaqgħu fil-kompetenzi tiegħu, kif ukoll għall-promozzjoni, għall-implimentazzjoni u għall-monitoraġġ tal-politika estera u ta’ sigurtà komuni, anki permezz ta’ skambji mas-sħab internazzjonali u tad-diplomazija parlamentari; billi s-sessjoni annwali tal-AĠNU hija forum multilaterali fundamentali għall-promozzjoni tal-prijoritajiet tal-politika estera tal-UE u għas-sorveljanza parlamentari; billi, fid-dawl ta’ dan ta’ hawn fuq, missjonijiet regolari tal-Kumitat AFET fis-sessjonijiet tal-AĠNU jkunu jappoġġjaw dan il-mandat, u b’hekk jippermettu lill-Parlament jiddjaloga mal-kontropartijiet, isaħħaħ ir-rwol tiegħu fl-affarijiet multilaterali u jsostni l-impenn tal-UE favur azzjoni esterna effikaċi u koerenti;

N. whereas the EU, as a global actor, should play a stronger role within the UN; whereas the EU is progressively increasing its security and defence capabilities, with the aim of assuming greater responsibilities in conflict prevention, crisis management, defence and peacebuilding;

1. Jirrakkomanda li l-Kunsill, il-Kummissjoni u l-Viċi President tal-Kummissjoni/Rappreżentant Għoli tal-Unjoni għall-Affarijiet Barranin u l-Politika ta’ Sigurtà:

O. whereas it appears essential for the EU to intensify its cooperation with all partners, including the UN and its agencies, to jointly advance the UN’s internal reform process and thus ensure that the UN remains effective, cost-efficient and capable of addressing the rising global challenges of our time;

Ħarsien u tisħiħ tal-multilateraliżmu

P. whereas Parliament’s Committee on Foreign Affairs (AFET) is responsible, inter alia, for relations with the UN in respect of matters falling within its remit, and for promoting, implementing and monitoring the EU’s common foreign and security policy, including through exchanges with international partners and parliamentary diplomacy; whereas the annual session of the UNGA is a key multilateral forum for promoting the EU’s foreign policy priorities and for parliamentary oversight; whereas in light of the above, regular missions of the AFET committee to the sessions of the UNGA would support this mandate, allowing Parliament to engage with counterparts, reinforce its role in multilateral affairs and uphold the EU’s commitment to effective and coherent external action;

(a) ikomplu jappoġġjaw multilateraliżmu effikaċi li fih il-liġijiet u n-normi jkunu aktar b’saħħithom mill-kunflitt, iċċentrat fuq in-Nazzjonijiet Uniti, ikkomplementat bir-relazzjonijiet bilaterali tal-UE mal-pajjiżi terzi, biex jagħtu prijorità lill-effikaċja, jippromwovu u jiddefendu d-dritt internazzjonali u jsostnu r-regoli u l-prinċipji tal-Karta tan-Nazzjonijiet Uniti, fosthom is-sovranità, l-integrità territorjali (inklużi ż-żoni marittimi kif definiti mill-Konvenzjoni tan-Nazzjonijiet Uniti dwar id-Dritt tal-Baħar), l-astensjoni mill-użu tal-forza, l-indipendenza politika, l-awtodeterminazzjoni u l-protezzjoni tad-drittijiet tal-bniedem u tal-libertajiet fundamentali u jopponu d-diplomazija koerċittiva u t-tentattivi ta’ kwalunkwe Stat biex jikkomprometti jew jimmina l-ordni internazzjonali bbażat fuq ir-regoli;

1. Recommends that the Council, the Commission and the Vice-President of the Commission / High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy:

(p) commend the role of the UN and its agencies, particularly in conflict zones; double down on support for multilateralism by enhancing political and financial support to the work of the UN and its agencies while emphasising the need to address systemic inter- and intra-organisational fragmentation, duplication and misalignment of mandates and funding across UN structures and bodies; ensure that the next MFF provide dedicated, sufficient and predictable funding to the UN and its agencies;

(q) promote the view that Russia’s place as a permanent member of the UNSC is legally questionable, as Article 23 of the UN Charter names the Soviet Union, not Russia, as a permanent member;

(t) jimpenjaw ruħhom b’urġenza, bħala UE, man-Nofsinhar Globali b’mod ġenwin u strutturat bħala sħab indaqs fil-governanza globali, anki permezz ta’ aktar rappreżentanza fl-organi deċiżjonali, aċċess ġust għall-finanzjamenti u għat-teknoloġija u sjieda konġunta tal-inizjattivi internazzjonali f’oqsma bħall-iżvilupp, l-azzjoni dwar il-klima, il-governanza diġitali u l-konsolidazzjoni tal-paċi; jikkollaboraw mal-Istati Membri biex isaħħu l-impenn tal-UE f’dawn il-pajjiżi;

(s) continue strengthening cooperation with partners, particularly like-minded countries and those willing to abide by, contribute to and enhance the multilateral system, in order to build consensus and promote an effective multilateral order; stress that such cooperation must be based on respect for multilateralism, international law, human rights and shared decision-making within international institutions, while ensuring that the EU develops the political, financial and institutional capacity to act autonomously when partners disengage from, undermine or instrumentalise multilateral frameworks; stress that respect for multilateral institutions, international law and the sovereign equality of states is indispensable for global peace, security, and sustainable development;

(v) ifakkru fir-responsabbiltà tal-KSNU, b’mod partikolari tal-membri permanenti tiegħu, biex jiddefendi l-paċi u s-sigurtà internazzjonali u jiżgura l-obbligu ta’ rendikont għall-ksur tad-dritt internazzjonali, filwaqt li jastjeni minn standards doppji u applikazzjoni selettiva tar-regoli internazzjonali; jeżaminaw modi kif jissaħħaħ ir-rwol tal-AĠNU f’dan il-qasam, permezz ta’ sistemi ta’ votazzjoni innovattivi u demokratiċi li bihom maġġoranza kwalifikata tal-AĠNU tista’ tegħleb imblokk bil-veto fil-KSNU bi qbil mad-duttrina “Unjoni għall-Paċi”;

(t) urgently engage, as the EU, with the Global South in a genuine and structured manner as equal partners in global governance, including through enhanced representation in decision-making bodies, fair access to finance and technology, and co-ownership of international initiatives in areas such as development, climate action, digital governance and peacebuilding; work with the Member States on enhancing the EU’s engagement in these countries;

(u) step up coordination with Latin American countries – with which the EU shares many ties and a common vision of the international order based on rules and multilateralism – given that both regions together account for one third of voting rights in the UN;

Paċi u sigurtà
