 And I'll give the floor to the observer of the International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance. Thank you, Madam Vice President. Excellencies, International IDEA considers the high-level multi-stakeholder summits of the future in 2023, proposing our common agenda, as an opportunity for reframing multilateralism and the relevance of the UN system in the face of the mandate challenges that have been addressed during the series of thematic consultations. The Secretary-General reports proposes a set of measures aimed at making multilateralism or networked inclusive and effective. Firstly, we underscore that this pandemic has laid bare the dramatic shortcomings of current multilateral rules to deal with health emergencies and global crisis. All multilateral institutions were put to a most stern test and have been found wanting. The damage has been of such scale and could be much worse the next time around. They're refusing to make a deliberate attempt to revamp those rules and institutions before the next calamity would be nothing short of suicidal. Secondly, while acknowledging the threats to the right to life trump all other rights, it is incumbent that we try to protect as widely as we can the human rights principles and norms that all states have signed up to. The sustainable development goals have been conceived and couched in the language of human rights. So upholding the protection as a foundational principle of global responses to future global crisis is not just possible, but essential. Thirdly, we should acknowledge a crucial point. Enhancing international cooperation requires that there is such a thing as a rules based international order. And that is precisely what is at stake now in Ukraine. A world in which might is right is a world in which global cooperation to solve global challenges is all but impossible. Fourthly, we welcome the emphasis placed by our common agenda on promoting the UN's role as a source of reliable data and evidence. As a think-and-do tank, specialized in producing policy-relevant, non-prescriptive and comparative analysis on political and institutional reforms and processes around the world, we, an international idea, attach great importance to this aspect. We should recognize the potential of combining official and non-official data in monitoring progress on implementation of agreed agendas, including the variables that are oftentimes less measured despite the relevance to assess the human rights dimensions of transformational shifts. In this perspective, the Scientific Advisory Board envisaged in paragraph 117 that it could support the Secretary General in strengthening the capacity of the UN, not only to better link knowledge centers across the system, but also to enhance partnerships with the wide network of research institutions and think tanks engaged in this endeavor. International Idea reaffirms its commitment to collaborating with the UN for the promotion of such partnerships with stakeholders from all regions of the world to help member states base future choices and analysis on solid and relevant data. I thank you. I thank the observer of the International Institute for Democracy and Electrical Assistance.
