“Imagine if every decision we made, we had to think about future generations,” Anne-Marie Slaughter said, discussing the Pact for the Future at UN Headquarters on Sunday. The former White House policy chief was part of the high-level advisory board for the Pact – adopted by world leaders that day – put together by Secretary-General António Guterres, which formed the centrepiece of the Summit of the Future. She told UN News’s Julia Foxen that the General Assembly was becoming an increasingly important player in advancing global peace and security.
