El fracaso del sistema multilateral actual

A statement by Friends of the Earth International and partners arguing that the current multilateral system, led by the United Nations, has failed to address global crises due to the dominance of corporate interests and geopolitical power struggles, calling for a democratic restructuring of global governance.

• The current international response to converging crises—including climate change, pandemics, and inequality—is failing because global governance is dominated by large corporations and the interests of a few powerful nations, which marginalizes the Global South.
• The failure of global governance has contributed to the rise of far-right and fascist movements worldwide, as these groups capitalize on the disillusionment of populations abandoned by the current system.
• The upcoming Summit of the Future is viewed as unlikely to produce radical change, appearing instead to reinforce the existing neoliberal system through vague commitments rather than addressing structural causes.
• The authors demand a democratic restructuring of global governance, specifically calling for the abolition of the UN Security Council veto power, the replacement of exclusive forums like the G7 and G20 with inclusive spaces, and the decoupling of financial institution influence from wealth.
• Reform is required for trade, intellectual property, and data governance to prevent digital dominance and support the Global South, including a 'fair use' doctrine for trade secrets to allow developing countries' small businesses access to critical data and AI innovation.
