Korosi, a diplomat for nearly 40 years, previously served in Libya, United Arab Emirates, Israel, Greece and the United Nations in New YorkHungarian Ambassador Csaba Korosi was elected Tuesday as the next president of the U.N. General Assembly, and he warned immediately that the world is in the throes of a dangerous crisis and the credibility of the United Nations is at stake.
Korosi, who takes over the presidency of the 193-member world body in September, said there is “a red alert” for the global climate and crises in food, energy and water supplies. In addition, he said, people everywhere are still affected by the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic, “the global economy is at the threshold of recession and the sovereign debts are at an unprecedented level.”
On top of that, conflicts this century -- including in Ukraine -- are fiercer and “a postcard from the future,” Korosi said. When the United Nations was founded 77 years ago at the end of World War II, member states showed that “lasting peace can be built on the ashes of war,” Korosi said. But today, “we live in times that rock the foundation this organization was built upon, with multiple crises looming.”Download NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth
