Cepei at the 76th Session of the United Nations General Assembly

September 2, 2021

“Cepei’s follow-up to the Assembly is based on the fact that the UNGA is the institution that best represents multilateralism on the international stage, and both the response and recovery processes and the action of a strengthened multilateralism must be based on action-oriented, evidence-based and properly funded decisions.”

This document presents Cepei’s follow-up work to the 76th Session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA), focusing on the interventions of Latin American and Caribbean countries in the General Debate, to be held in September 21-27.

September 14, 2021 marks the opening of the 76th session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA), which will run until September 2022. Once again, this is an opportunity to move towards a strengthened multilateralism aligned with the 2030 Agenda.

As every year, the most politically important moment of the Assembly sessions comes during the General Debate, which takes place between September 21 and 27.

Since the adoption of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, Cepei has been monitoring the General Debate in real time, focusing on the participation of Latin American and Caribbean countries and publishing annual reports on its results. In doing so, Cepei seeks to contribute to the strengthening of the UNGA as the most democratic of the organization’s institutions, in which all its Member States participate with equal voting rights.
