Parliamentary Support in Re-Establishing Trust and Reputation in Multilateral Governance

Summary

Parliamentary oversight of the implementation of the outcomes of the Summit of the Future and their follow-up.

Description

Since its inception in 2005, the Parliamentary Assembly of the Mediterranean (PAM) and its Euro-Mediterranean and Gulfs members have been deeply engaged with and committed to ensuring the implementation of and follow-up to the outcomes of the deliberations of the United Nations. PAM developed innovative mechanisms to ensure effective and coordinated follow-up to the work of the UN. The Summit of the Future offers a timely opportunity to the international community to renew its commitment to implementing the outcomes of the Summit. These outcomes are of fundamental importance for reinforcing peace and security in the PAM regions. The PAM Side-Event, encouraged by the UNSG, is an essential part of that effort.  

The purpose of the Side-Event, organized jointly with the PAM Centre for Global Studies (CGS), in partnership with the UN Security Council Counter-Terrorism Executive Directorate (CTED), the Permanent Mission of the Kingdom of Morocco to the UN in New York and the Permanent Mission of Italy to the UN in New York, is to  advance the strategic goals of the Summit in enhancing parliamentary and governmental cooperation on critical global challenges and reinvigorating the multilateral system of governance, providing decision-makers with the key information needed to exercise their national oversight on the outcomes of the Summit, as well as foster the implementation of the Pact for the Future, at both the national and regional levels.

Side Event organized by: Parliamentary Assembly of the Mediterranean (PAM), with the support of its Center for Global Studies (PAM-CGS), UN Counter-Terrorism Executive Directorate (CTED), Permanent Mission of the Kingdom of Morocco to the UN, Permanent Mission of Italy to the UN

To generate additional opportunities for the engagement of all actors, the Secretary-General of the United Nations is convening the Summit of the Future Action Days on 20 and 21 September 2024 at United Nations Headquarters in New York.

Bringing together representatives from Member States, civil society, private sector, academia, local and regional authorities, youth, and many more, the Action Days will provide an opportunity for broad engagement and inclusion. These stakeholders have all played a key role in shaping the Pact for the Future and will be critical to its implementation.

Side events provide further insights and opportunities for multi-stakeholder collaboration.
