President Alar Karis travels to the UN. He states that the UN must improve and that violence should not dominate the world.
Karis questions a UN leader about recent developments. The leader responds that the situation has worsened, indicating the need for more effort. Many countries recognize that the UN must take action. Smaller nations can collaborate to create a better world.
Karis contemplates the usefulness of the UN and ponders what the alternative might be. Currently, there is no other platform for countries to communicate. Each country discusses its issues, with some aiming to resolve their problems and others seeking to have their voices heard.
Karis questions whether speeches have any impact. He notes that people listen to the Secretary-General and the president of Brazil. The US president also holds significant influence. While other speeches are heard, the room isn't always full, as people attend their respective meetings.
The Ukrainian president delivered an emotional speech to a packed room, addressing Ukraine and the world.
Estonia was in the spotlight due to Russia's violation of its airspace. Estonia’s foreign minister spoke at the UN, and Karis commended Estonia's efforts. He expressed hope that such airspace violations will not recur and that the war in Ukraine will end.
Many countries have recognized Palestine, but Estonia has yet to do so. Karis affirmed Estonia's support for a two-state solution and emphasized that the government must decide its course of action.
Karis met with numerous leaders at the UN, including the president of Argentina, and learned that speeches are meticulously planned. He also had an extended conversation with the Dutch queen.
The US president criticized the UN, and while Karis found his speeches humorous at times, he acknowledged their weight. The UN faces significant challenges due to numerous conflicts, but Karis believes it is indispensable because there is no viable alternative.
