   • First, what this body should have done and failed to do, second, what it should not have done but did anyway, and third, its position in the face of the advent of artificial intelligence. 78 years ago, this House declared that all human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights, noble words whose spirit I fully share. To that end, it undertook to uphold international law, defend the sovereignty of nations, and provide a forum in which conflicts could be resolved through cooperation rather than immediately through the force of arms. That was the original purpose, the contract that we all signed. 2:21:45Copy

Artificial intelligence, which we've heard so many times from the podium this week, is arguably the most urgent frontier. AI offers extraordinary potential, but its capability is advancing faster than our appreciation of its risks. There are fundamentally three categories of risk. 4:24:07Copy

    • And for the leaders who have gathered here this week, this remains the test of our time, a test we can and we must pass. Whether it is climate change or artificial intelligence, there is always the temptation to say that our generation is being confronted by issues that our predecessors could not possibly have imagined while dealing with the world they would not recognise. But for all the transformation the past eight decades have brought, the fundamental stakes haven't changed, and just as its values, our values, our ideals, our commitment to dialogue and cooperation proved equal to that task then, we can rise to meet these new challenges now. We can reaffirm our national sovereignty and our shared humanity. 10:52:49Copy

This raises the question of whether, in a world of advancing artificial intelligence, humans will remain subjects or become merely objects of algorithmic influence. I am fully aware that groundbreaking technologies bring not only enormous opportunities, but also certain risks. 7:05:59Copy

    • A very good evening to you, distinguished President of the 81st session of the United Nations General Assembly, distinguished heads of state, heads of government, and heads of delegation. I have stood on this podium at various points in my life as a civil servant, first as the Minister of Foreign Affairs, then as Executive Vice President, and now as Acting President of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela. At all of these times, I have been compelled to reflect upon the major issues concerning humankind, as well as their aspirations and concerns. These are peace, development, equality, the climate crisis, free trade, energy security and, more recently, artificial intelligence. 10:25:13Copy

     🇬🇦 Gabon · Day 5Marie-Édith Tassyla-Ye-Doumbeneny

     • Mr. President. While it's true that digital transformation offers considerable opportunities, it also entails risk, infringements of privacy, disinformation, cyber crime, and the irresponsible use of emerging technologies. The absence of an effective international legal framework leaves the way open for all of these abuses to arise, posing a direct threat to the security of our states and the fundamental rights of our citizens. Having already suffered from these various pernicious effects, Gabon has had to introduce more appropriate and secure regulation of the digital and artificial intelligence sectors through temporary and proportionate measures motivated solely by the imperative of protecting our citizens. 7:32:28Copy

New and emerging technologies that offer unlimited potential could also, without human intervention, create unprecedented dangers. In such moments of uncertainty, it can be easy to question our foundations, to retreat, to turn inward, to say that international cooperation is too difficult, that multilateralism does not work, that the problems of others are not our problems. 11:10:33Copy

     • Japan, a world criminal state, is accelerating its transformation into a world state against the background of growing geopolitical tensions and block confrontation. In line with the updated 2026 defense white paper, Japan is frantically enforcing militarist policies such as the highest ever military expenditure, introduction of AI into the self-defense force commanding system, and reshuffle of the structure of the Ministry of Defense, to name just a few. On the other hand, it is widely known that Japan formulated the possession of preemptive attack capabilities by revising the national security strategy in 2022 and is now speeding up purchase and development of long-range missiles. While hellbent on deploying long-range strike means, Japan is equally involved in bilateral and multilateral joint military exercises with the United States and its vessel forces. 7:55:35Copy
