- At the UN General Assembly in New York, Sanchez called for fair regional representation and abolition of the five permanent members’ veto.
- He cited Spain’s sanctions on Russia and arms embargo against Israel’s government, condemning what he called genocide in Gaza.
- He called for a Latin American woman to become the next UN secretary-general; all nine previous officeholders were men.
- In Ceuta, where roughly 72,000 people entered irregularly in late July, Sanchez pledged that Spain would respect human rights.
We need to reform the Security Council so that all of the regions in the world have fair representation, and so that we can do away with the right of veto of the permanent members.— Pedro Sánchez, addressing the UN General Assembly in New York
