Committee: AFET
Amendment 42 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital D
D. whereas multilateralism is in crisis, resulting in part from the emergence of new actors on the global stage, as a peaceful means of organising relations between sovereign states, is increasingly challenged resulting in part from the emergence of new actors on the global stage, including increasingly assertive authoritarian and totalitarian regimes, the tensions derived from the nature of multilateral institutions, the growing gap between public opinion and institutions, the decline of traditionally dominant geopolitical powers and the subsequent decline of global freedoms and democracy; whereas we are on the cusp of a new era that threatens to undermine more than seventy years of progress and relative peace and consolidate an era of strongman politics striving to undermine the rule of law, responsibility and diversity; whereas the combination of national populist impulses, divergent and changing objectives and a lack of application and accountability methodsisolationism, protectionism and revisionism is forcing the multilateral system to face threefour connected crises: a crisis of power, of relevance, accountability and of legitimacy;

Committee: AFET
Amendment 50 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital E
E. whereas multilateralism is in need of swift revitalisation to tackle this multidimensional crisis; whereas peace and security, threats to fundamental freedoms and democracy, climate change, global public health and the deepening of poverty and inequalities at the global level are some of the pressing challenges that the world is facing right now; whereas only through a reinforced multilateral order will the international community be able to find lasting and sustainable answers to these and future challenges;

Committee: AFET
Amendment 61 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital F
F. whereas the climate emergency and the COVID-19 pandemic have shown the importance and policy primacy of global public goods, such as, inter alia, access to health, clean air, education, technology and cyberspace in an inclusive fashion; whereas access to global public goods and policy responses seeking to standardise and expand such access across countries and communities requires global cooperation on objectives, minimum standards and active support for the most vulnerable countries and communities; whereas this requires an effective multilateral agenda focused on global public goods and governance structures that reinforce access to such goods; whereas effective policy dialogue, cooperation and delivery on access to global public goods cannot be decoupled from the promotion and protection of fundamental rights;
2022/02/14
Committee: AFET
Amendment 69 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital G
G. whereas the increasing positions of strength by illiberal third countrigrowing assertiveness of authoritarian and totalitarian regimes in multilateral fora and international organisations, including through attempts to weaken and rewrite international norms, and strong presence as regards the management and decision-making processes of relevant international organisations and multilateral fora, can lead to asymmetric and less effective, if not biased, policy responses, absent the level playing field for all members of the international community, and to a much weaker commitment by the international community to the defence of universal values and universal rights; whereas individual agendas, unilateral actions and a lack of engagement and support for multilateral solutions can further undermine multilateralism as an essential organising principle to tackle transnational challenges; whereas, in this context, it is essential to reaffirm the value of rules- based governance, international cooperation, a commitment to fundamental rights and a true level playing field for all members of the international community; whereas relevant international organisations and multilateral fora will be key to achieving these objectives; whereas these objectives will not only allow a more effective positive policy impact on global challenges, but will also curb and prevent the risk of conflict;

Amendment 75 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital G a (new)
Ga. whereas the EU has contacts with numerous international organisations, including, the United Nations and its bodies, Council of Europe, North Atlantic Treaty Organisation, the Organisation for Economic and Development Cooperation, the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe, the World Trade Organisation, the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, the International Olympic Committee, the Group of African, Caribbean and Pacific States, the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, the Organisation of American States, the African Union, the South African Development Community, Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation, MERCOSUR, International Organisation of La Francophonie, the Commonwealth, the Community of Portuguese Language Counties, the International Criminal Court, the International Court of Justice, the International Chamber of Commerce, Interpol, Union of South American Nations, Association of Caribbean States, The Association of Southeast Asian Nations, Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, African Development Bank, Asian Development Bank, Caribbean Development Bank, Inter-American Development Bank, Islamic Development Bank
2022/02/14
Committee: AFET
Amendment 77 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital H
H. whereas the UN Secretary- General’s report entitled ‘Our Common Agenda’, which was presented to the UN General Assembly in September 2021 and drafted through a wide-ranging consultation process including UN member states, thought leaders, young people, civil society, relevant stakeholders and citizens, as well as the UN system and its many partners, attests to the need for a more effective, inclusive and networked multilateralism for the future; whereas this will be essential for the UN system and other multilateral fora in order to continue being an effective venue for global consultation and decision-making; whereas, in this context, the Holy See, along with its worldwide network of representations and the capillary presence of religious and faith- based organisations providing concrete assistance to vulnerable communities, has shown global leadership in multilateral fora and contributed to the advancement of sustainable human development, inclusive education, universal healthcare, humane migration policies, peace- building, disarmament, fight against climate change and other important agendas; whereas the EU is uniquely positioned to support the UN and other relevant international organisations in pursuing a process of reform and in revitalising their delivery capacity and their ability to connect to relevant stakeholders, such as young people or the communities most impacted by climate change, efficiency, accountability, resilience, and ability to connect to relevant stakeholders; whereas in doing so the EU should seize the opportunity to engage constructively and effectively with rival powers, while maintaining a firm stance on fundamental rights and pursuing closer cooperation with like-minded countries to reinforce the primacy of universal values and fundamental rights and to advance effective solutions to global challenges; whereas parliamentary diplomacy will be a key component of reinforcing rules-based, inclusive, networked and effective multilateralism;

Amendment 91 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital I
I. whereas the new ‘Global Europe – Neighbourhood, Development and International Cooperation Instrument’ (Global Europe financial instrument), combined with the ‘Team Europe’ approach confers on the EU and its Member States an ability to pull resources together in a synergic way and to better coordinate assistance and create positive impact in the external action of the EU, including through multilateral fora; whereas the new Global Europe financial instrument provides for high-level political dialogue between the Commission, the European External Action Service (EEAS) and Parliament on programming priorities with the opportunity for Parliament to reconnect this policy and programming dialogue to its political outreach and consultations with third countries, thus reinforcing, through its parliamentary diplomacy activities and outreach, the ability of the EU to assist and positively impact relevant third countries;

Committee: AFET
Amendment 99 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 1
1. Welcomes the joint communication by the Commission and the VP/HR to Parliament and the Council on strengthening the EU’s contribution to rules-based multilateralism; considers that this communication contributes very directly to and further advances the reflection on the direction of the EU’s foreign policy from its important, but more general commitment to effective multilateralism as defined in the 2003 European security strategy to the realisation of the need to combine the value and objective of effective multilateralism with principled pragmatism and the need to promote and preserve the EU’s interests and values, as laid out in the 2016 global strategy for the EU’s foreign and security policy; concurs with the Commission and the VP/HR on the need for the EU to be more assertive in pursuing its interests and in advancing the universal values in which it believes and, therefore, concurs on the need for the EU to defend and strengthen multilateralism as a means to ensuring a level playing field for the international community, providing a platform for inclusive policy dialogue, cooperation and convergence and achieving policy responses supported by the international community at large and which can truly delivernd the need to promote and preserve the EU’s interests and values, as laid out in the 2016 global strategy for the EU’s foreign and security policy; points to the EU’s ability to devise very efficient and inclusive regulatory standards for its single market and takes the view that the EU should also seek to promote such standards in the framework of its external action as a paradigm and contribution to the discussion on effective global regulatory standards;

Amendment 110 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 2
2. Reiterates its strongest support for the programme of reforms introduced by UN Secretary-General António Guterres; stresses the importance of a UN system that can continue to deliver effectively; points to the value of the ‘One UN’ vision of the UN Secretary-General for the UN system, where the various agencies and components of the UN can truly be interlinked and function together on the basis of a single budgetary and managerial structure and can reinforce the attainment of the UN’s objectives; points, in particular, to the enhanced role of the UN Resident Coordinators provided for by the reform of the UN development system and considers that these UN Resident Coordinators should not only take the lead in coordinating the implementation of UN programmes on the ground to reinforce the unity of UN action, but should also liaise and consult closely with EU delegations in the relevant UN member state to pursue synergies and mutual reinforcement with the EU’s thematic and geographic programmes for that country; recalls that the EU can greatly reinforce the outreach and impact of UN programmes in third countries and can define its programming and assistance in synergic and reinforcing fashion in conjunction with the objectives of the UN; stresses, therefore, the value of close EU-UN consultation and cooperation and invites the UN to regularly consult with the EU at UN headquarters, but also on the ground in third countries; takes the view that the EU and the UN should hold annual summits with the possibility for the UN Secretary-General to confer with Council, Commission, EEAS and Parliamentstresses the value of close EU-UN consultation and cooperation and invites the UN to regularly consult with the EU at UN headquarters, but also on the ground in third countries; calls on the UN to ensure a steady presence of high-level UN interlocutors at the European Parliament to further policy dialogue and give enhanced visibility to UN efforts;

Amendment 120 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 3
3. Takes the view that the EU should identify the UN bodies and other multilateral organisations that are key to promoting policy dialogue, convergence and policy solutions to global challenges and, standard setting and should define clear objectives and clear priorities for dialogue with and support, including budgetary support, to such bodies and organisations, including through budgetary support; recalls, in this regard, that the EU and its Member States are already the leading donors to the UN and, many of its agencies and programmes, and other organisations, but that this commitment to and support for the UN does not always translate into a stronger presenceimpact by the EU and, its Member States in key UN agency positionsand like-minded partners in multilateral fora, which is particularly worrying at a time of growing assertiveness of authoritarian and totalitarian regimes in such fora; calls on the EU and, its Member States and like-minded partners to further improve their coordination when it comes to establishing joint support for candidacies for leadership positions in multilateral fora; points to the positive potential of also enhancing this coordination with like- minded partners in other world regions and looking at the importance of the principle of the equitable geographical distribution of leadership positions;

Amendment 130 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 4
4.

Amendment 149 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 6
6.
