Top 5 Quotes of EAM S. Jaishankar’s powerful speech at the UN

1. Misuse of International Platforms

“On the challenge of terrorism, even as the world is coming together with a more collective response, multilateral platforms are being misused to justify and protect perpetrators.”

2 Climate Action & Justice

“When it comes to climate action and climate justice, the state of affairs is no better. Instead of addressing the relevant issues in the appropriate forum, we have seen attempts at distraction and diversion.”

3 Credibility of Multilateralism

“We not only need to increase stakeholdership but also enhance the effectiveness and credibility of multilateralism in the eyes of the international community and in the eyes of global public opinion.”

4. Accountable Council

“This is important to make working methods and processes of the global institutions, including this Council, more accountable, objective and transparent. Failing to do so would only lend this Council to charges of politicization.”

5. Hosting Terrorism

“The question of justifying what the world regards as unacceptable should never arise. That applies to state sponsorship of cross-border terrorism, nor can hosting Osama Bin Laden and attacking a neighbouring Parliament serve as credentials to sermonise before this council.”
