Azerbaijani FM notes need for more proactive efforts by UN in conflict prevention
Azerbaijan’s Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov says there is a need for more proactive efforts from the UN in conflict prevention.

“The deterioration of the security throughout the world especially during the past two decades has increased human sufferings,” said Mammadyarov at a high-level thematic debate of the UN General Assembly, titled ‘Maintenance of international peace and security’, which was held to commemorate the UN’s 70th anniversary.

“This has also drained huge resources from the United Nations, which is evident from the significant increase in its peacekeeping activities,” he added. “Therefore, there is a need for more proactive efforts by the UN in conflict prevention, mediation and peace building.”
