Turkey says that global peace is impacted by too many factors that prevent it from reaching it in trying circumstances, like international institutions not helping it. The tools of international law which should give peace and stability have not been contributory of late.

Turkey Says International Institutions Have Failed

Turkish Parliament Speaker Mustafa Sentop attending the 8th MIKTA Speakers' Consultation in Istanbul, says more than ever instability is engulfing the globe, noted Move2Turkey.

The optimistic atmosphere after the cold war for all nations is now gone. Today's present environment is that of terrorist activities that have increased, wars, all crises of sorts, and even big battles follow after the Cold War, reported Anadolu.

One of the impacts of a globalized world is that any disturbance affecting nations' welfare prevents positive outcomes. Instead of being localized to one sector, that is not the case as it spreads all over. These breakout wars and misunderstandings are reaching a peace accord to achieve peace and a stable environment for all.

UN Is Failing To Achieve Global Peace

Sentop expressed views on how the United Nations may be a compromised organization due to global trends. He said that from the beginning, the UN had been the engine trusted by many countries for international peace and security.

He added that the UN had problems from the start of its creation in the form of anti-democratic processes that include the right of veto done by members of the UN Security Council, according to Council on Foreign Relations.

Interests concerning world peace and stability are tied to the politics of countries wanting to dominate. Using international law as their tool to perpetuate their agenda to increase their power only benefits them.

UN Body Needs Reform 

The primary concern of most nowadays is focusing on the problem of resolving the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Sentop said that efforts to bring the two to the negotiating table so that a ceasefire can be arranged. The end goal is to bring peace after one year of fighting.

One of the biggest questions is when Moscow and Kyiv will decide to end the battle since Ankara is active in diplomatic approaches. Many international institutions which are supposed to be multilateral are useless compared to warmongers in the west choosing to sell arms, not stop the war.

The Turkish official clarified that changes like the inclusion of all members and decision-making processes should be encouraged in such global institutions. They need to be done now, or more divisiveness will follow.

 The problem is not only the UN which needs revision because many of these international bodies are ridden with interests and non-plurality. Such organizations like NATO, the EU, and the IMF World Trade Organization are all flawed by the presence of hegemonic interests.

MIKTA was begun with the foreign ministers of Mexico, Indonesia, South Korea, Turkey, and Australia in 2013 at the sidelines of the 68th UN General Assembly. Its goals are to give added value to promoting solutions acceptable for all and to improve global governance. It stresses that it will express its concerns for global issues and keep economic and political ties.

Turkey says the MIKTA will help reach global peace as the UN and company drop the ball on world issues.
