Editorial: Le Monde

• The inefficiency of the United Nations is once again evident in the violent escalation between Israel and Hezbollah.
• Two major conflicts, Russian aggression in Ukraine and the destruction of Gaza, have shown the paralysis of the Security Council, blocked by Russian and American vetoes.
• The General Assembly has passed numerous resolutions, but these are largely symbolic and do not translate into reality, weakening the image of the UN.
• Russia's constant use of the veto is corroding the international architecture established to guarantee security.
• The necessary reform of the Security Council seems far off, its current composition is a caricature of the state of the world.
• Notably, Washington advocated for two permanent seats for Africa in case of a Security Council expansion, but without the right to veto.
• The apparent neglect of the United Nations coincides with an increasing number of global crises requiring multilateral responses.

Conclusion: The UN's incapacitation in solving global problems and the lack of reform in the Security Council are worrying given the increasing number of global crises, underscoring the need for effective multilateral solutions.
