Dr. Al Nuaimi highlighted the importance of strengthening parliamentary participation within the United Nations, advocating for the inclusion of parliamentarians in official national delegations to enable their direct and effective contribution to international discussions and multilateral decision-making. He called upon the IPU to take practical steps to encourage governments to involve parliamentarians in national delegations and to raise this issue during upcoming IPU meetings. Noting that responsibility lies with both the United Nations and national parliaments, he explained that effective action is required to enhance parliamentary participation.
Dr. Al Nuaimi observed that fundamental political, economic, and demographic shifts have occurred since the UN Charter was established in 1945, necessitating an evolution of the international system to better keep pace with changes, serve humanity, protect shared values, and contribute to a brighter future.
