Australia stands for a safer world where: no country dominates, and no country is dominated; where crises are prevented; disputes are settled through rules and dialogue; and institutions deliver for all.
We will partner as equals to drive practical solutions to today’s security challenges. From reducing the risk of conflict and protecting people, to safeguarding our climate, ocean and shared digital future.
Australia is a steadfast advocate of international law, including the UN Charter. We have trusted in the UN’s mission from the very beginning. We held the Security Council’s first presidency in 1946, served as President of the UN General Assembly when the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was adopted, and participated in the UN’s first peace and security missions.
Australia wants to shape the future of the UN – protecting what matters most, reforming boldly what needs to change, and ensuring all countries have the freedom to decide their own future.
