Those who took to the podium \u2013 81 presidents, 38 prime ministers, six crowned royals, and 66 other dignitaries \u2013 used the platform to discuss an array of domestic and international concerns, ranging from peace and security to climate change and artificial intelligence. Although, as usual, many leaders devoted their speeches to national priorities instead of multilateral ones, a survey of their statements offers insights into the foreign policy issues that are of greatest importance to the UN membership. Crisis Group has analysed 191 speeches delivered during this year\u2019s General Debate to identify trends in how leaders referenced four prominent peace and security issues: Palestine, Ukraine, Sudan and UN reform. Other crises \u2013 including Syria, Haiti and Myanmar \u2013 also attracted attention, but the four issues spotlighted here dominated the global concerns raised in the debate.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"title-component \">\n<p><strong>Gaza<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"\" class=\"c-inline-media c-inline-media--lg c-inline-media--large\">\n<div class=\"c-inline-media__box\">\n<div class=\"o-image o-image--cover\"><img class=\" ls-is-cached lazyloaded\" src=\"https:\/\/www.crisisgroup.org\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/image_large_ct\/public\/2025-10\/0-Gaza-general-large%20%282%29.png.webp?itok=Ht-ZGZoX\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"\" class=\"s-visual-article__body o-container c-sec   [ u-ptserif ]\">\n<p><span lang=\"EN-GB\">The crisis in the Occupied Palestinian Territories was the most talked about issue of the high-level week, with 151 speakers making note of either Gaza or Palestine in their speeches. Despite the French-Saudi joint conference on the two-state solution that took place one day before the General Debate began, the mentions in 2025 represented only a small increase from 2024, where Crisis Group tracked\u00a0146\u00a0references to either Palestine or Lebanon (the latter being the other urgent situation in the Middle East last September).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"\" class=\"s-visual-article__body o-container c-sec [ u-ptserif ]\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/crisisgroup.github.io\/crisis-maps\/gaza-before-after-un\" width=\"100%\" height=\"700\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" data-gtm-yt-inspected-10=\"true\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<div id=\"\" class=\"s-visual-article__body o-container c-sec   [ u-ptserif ]\">\n<p><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Most notable, however, was that this year 44 countries referred to the bloodshed in Gaza as genocide, eighteen more than the 26 countries that did so in 2024. These shifts largely came from countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America and the Caribbean. Only three European states (Bosnia, Ireland and Slovenia) shifted their rhetoric by referring to a genocide in Gaza, joining T\u00fcrkiye as the only members of the UN\u2019s Western European and Others Group to do so at the General Assembly. One country, Jordan, referred to genocide in 2024 but did not to do so this year.

Although this total represents a majority of UN member states, it is a noticeable decline from 2022 when 138 countries referenced the war. Similarly, 51 of the 106 countries that referenced Ukraine in 2025 did so without explicitly mentioning Russia, an increase from the 38 countries that followed this pattern in 2022.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"\" class=\"c-inline-media c-inline-media--md c-inline-media--medium\">\n<div class=\"c-inline-media__box\">\n<div class=\"o-image o-image--cover\"><img class=\" ls-is-cached lazyloaded\" src=\"https:\/\/www.crisisgroup.org\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/image_medium_ct\/public\/2025-10\/2-ukraine-2025%20%281%29.png.webp?itok=qL9iKveE\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"\" class=\"s-visual-article__body o-container c-sec   [ u-ptserif ]\">\n<p><span lang=\"EN-GB\">These trends are almost entirely driven by shifting attitudes of member states outside the EU bloc and NATO alliance: only 71 of these countries referenced the war in 2025, down from 102 countries that did so in 2022. Many of these countries now frame the war as a purely European issue, despite Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy\u2019s continued emphasis on the conflict\u2019s global repercussions. At the same time, the General Assembly has lost some of its salience to Ukraine as a\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.crisisgroup.org\/global\/reaffirming-ukraines-sovereignty-and-territorial-integrity-un\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">forum<\/span><\/a><span lang=\"EN-GB\">\u00a0for swaying international opinion on the conflict.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"title-component \">\n<p><strong>Sudan<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"\" class=\"s-visual-article__body o-container c-sec [ u-ptserif ]\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/crisisgroup.github.io\/crisis-maps\/sudan-before-after-un\" width=\"100%\" height=\"700\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" data-gtm-yt-inspected-10=\"true\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<div id=\"\" class=\"s-visual-article__body o-container c-sec   [ u-ptserif ]\">\n<p><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Only 62 countries referenced the war in Sudan this year, three fewer than in 2024. In contrast to the breakdown of member states that spoke about the war in Ukraine, there was no clear geographic pattern describing which countries referenced the war, which has now fuelled the world\u2019s largest humanitarian crisis. Among African countries, twenty member states mentioned Sudan, a comparable number to the 21 that did so in 2024. There was, however, a high degree of variation within the Africa Group, with 21 of the continent\u2019s 54 member states referring to Sudan in only one of the past two years. Despite the underwhelming attention this conflict received among national leaders, two prominent side events held on the margins of the General Debate focused on efforts to de-escalate the war and secure additional humanitarian assistance.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"title-component \">\n<h3>UN Reform<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"\" class=\"c-inline-media c-inline-media--md c-inline-media--medium\">\n<div class=\"c-inline-media__box\">\n<div class=\"o-image o-image--cover\"><img class=\" ls-is-cached lazyloaded\" src=\"https:\/\/www.crisisgroup.org\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/image_medium_ct\/public\/2025-10\/1-reform-2025%20%283%29.png.webp?itok=Bzbi9Cus\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"\" class=\"s-visual-article__body o-container c-sec   [ u-ptserif ]\">\n<p><span lang=\"EN-GB\">With the UN confronting major political and financial headwinds, the topic of institutional reform cut across many of the discussions at this year\u2019s General Assembly. A total of 128 member states raised reform issues, an increase from the 100 countries that mentioned some strand of reform efforts in 2024. Two subsets of issues stood out. First, 73 member states explicitly referenced UN80, the Secretary-General\u2019s initiative to reform the UN through immediate cost savings, a review of inter-governmental mandates, and structural transformations to the system. Separately, 100 national statements mentioned the ever-present matter of Security Council reform, a continuing priority for many UN countries even as the prospect of reforming the Council\u2019s composition (which requires member states to amend the UN Charter) appears\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/time.com\/7319232\/u-n-security-council-is-struggling\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">less likely<\/span><\/a><span lang=\"EN-GB\">\u00a0than it did in 2024, when the Biden administration devoted considerable attention to the issue.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"title-component \">\n<p><strong>Looking Ahead<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"\" class=\"s-visual-article__body o-container c-sec   [ u-ptserif ]\">\n<p><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Beyond the General Assembly podium, side events and bilateral meetings held on the margins of the General Debate showed that the UN is still a place where global commitments and important back-channel diplomacy can happen.

High-level week was also the stage for a private meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and leaders from Islamic countries, a major step in advancing the peace deal on Gaza, as well as the most cordial meeting yet between the U.S. president and Ukrainian President Zelenskyy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Top UN officials ended high-level week without their worst-case fears of the withdrawal of the U.S. \u2013 the UN\u2019s largest donor \u2013 coming to fruition.

Notably missing was much discussion on peace and security, and some UN staff felt his remarks were out of touch with current realities. Major changes are yet to come, and many of them will not be spearheaded by this Secretary-General.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-GB\">With less than fifteen months left in Guterres\u2019s term, there was feverish discussion about who might be his successor behind the scenes. The next Secretary-General will have the challenge of seeing through many difficult reforms of the system. He or she will also shape how the UN engages with crises like Gaza, Ukraine and Sudan, and will be taking signals from member states whose speeches at the General Assembly and other fora show where global opinion is heading.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>Fuente:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.crisisgroup.org\/global\/how-spotlight-peace-and-security-issues-shifted-2025-un-general-assembly?utm_source=mailchimp&amp;utm_medium=email\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>https:\/\/www.crisisgroup.org<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Los discursos de la Asamblea General de la ONU de este a\u00f1o centraron su atenci\u00f3n en la pol\u00edtica exterior en Gaza, Ucrania, Sud\u00e1n y la&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":17626,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[36,28],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fie.undef.edu.ar\/ceptm\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17625"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fie.undef.edu.ar\/ceptm\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fie.undef.edu.ar\/ceptm\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fie.undef.edu.ar\/ceptm\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fie.undef.edu.ar\/ceptm\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=17625"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.fie.undef.edu.ar\/ceptm\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17625\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":17627,"href":"https:\/\/www.fie.undef.edu.ar\/ceptm\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17625\/revisions\/17627"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fie.undef.edu.ar\/ceptm\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/17626"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fie.undef.edu.ar\/ceptm\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=17625"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fie.undef.edu.ar\/ceptm\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=17625"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fie.undef.edu.ar\/ceptm\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=17625"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
