Pope Francis in his new book called for the reform of the United Nations after the Ukraine war and the Covid pandemic exposed the organization’s limits. “In wartime, it is essential to affirm that we need more multilateralism and a better multilateralism,” but the UN is no longer fit for “new realities,” the Vatican’s leader said. Francis noted that although the UN was founded to prevent the repetition of the World Wars, “today’s world is no longer the same.”
