Speaking at the Summit of the Future at the United Nations General Assembly, Kenya's President William Ruto criticized the current structure of multilateral institutions, arguing that they are ineffective in addressing the challenges facing developing countries. The president believes that institutions, such as the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank, are not equipped to deal with complex issues and instead have a negative impact on developing countries.Ruto called for urgent action to close financing gaps, bridge international divides, and restore trust in multilateralism. He highlighted the obstacles that prevent developing countries from achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, including limited fiscal capacity, rising debt levels, an unfair credit framework, and unequal interest rates.For his part, the South African leader called for the UN Security Council to be made more effective. Ramaphosa went on to say that while the vast majority suffer most from these risks, it is unjust, unfair, and unsustainable to entrust the future of global security to a small group of people. Additionally, he emphasized that in the current framework of the UN Security Council, not all nations are represented, nor are their thoughts and opinions taken into account.

At the same venue, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa told the Future Summit at the UN headquarters that reforms to UN structures are necessary to better reflect the variety of the modern world.
Speaking at the Summit of the Future at the United Nations General Assembly, Kenya's President William Ruto criticized the current structure of multilateral institutions, arguing that they are ineffective in addressing the challenges facing developing countries.
The president believes that institutions, such as the
International Monetary Fund and the World Bank, are not equipped to deal with complex issues and instead have a negative impact on developing countries.
“We also must recognize that the prevailing multilateral institutional architecture is dysfunctional, or at least highly ineffective, and cannot be relied upon to provide solutions for the world that we all urgently need. This is why countries are increasingly turning to innovative, homegrown approaches to solve their most pressing problems,” he stated.
Ruto called for urgent action to close financing gaps, bridge international divides, and restore trust in multilateralism.
He highlighted the obstacles that prevent developing countries from achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, including limited fiscal capacity, rising debt levels, an unfair credit framework, and unequal interest rates.
For his part, the
South African leader called for the UN Security Council to be made more effective. Ramaphosa went on to say that while the vast majority suffer most from these risks, it is unjust, unfair, and unsustainable to entrust the future of global security to a small group of people. Additionally, he emphasized that in the current framework of the UN Security Council, not all nations are represented, nor are their thoughts and opinions taken into account.
