Italian premier Prodi stresses multilateralism, UN's central role
Italian Prime Minister Romano Prodi on Wednesday called on world leaders to embrace multilateralism and let the United Nations play a central role in tackling international controversies. "First and foremost we need to reinvigorate multilateralism, by which I mean restoring the central, fundamental role of the United Nations," Prodi told leaders attending the annual general debate of the 61st General Assembly.
The Italian premier said terrorism and weapons of mass destruction have rendered obsolete systems of collective defense and security based on deterrence. "The old solutions to the world's problems -- the logic of balance and hegemony -- are no longer enough to guarantee stability and security, Prodi said.
