The multilateral system must be reformed if it is to provide answers to challenges such as the Ukraine war or the Coronavirus pandemic. That is why UN Secretary-General António Guterres presented the report "Our Common Agenda" in 2021, intended to initiate the transformation of the UN and its institutions. Strengthening international law plays a central role in this. At the next sef: Policy Lunch, experts will discuss how this transformation can succeed and what contributions the EU can make.

During the Covid-19 pandemic, many governments have used crisis response as a pretext for restricting civil rights and freedom of expression. The sharp increase in “fake news” has prompted governments to enact strict anti-disinformation laws. However, these have also been abused to crack down on free press, notably in India, Thailand and Singapore. This year’s sef: session at the DW Global Media Forum will discuss how journalists can deal with this challenges and how they can be supported externally.

More than two years into the pandemic, it's time to take stock: How would it be possible to act more collaboratively and quickly in future pandemics and leave no one behind? And what preventive measures should be taken to prevent future pandemics or limit their consequences? At an additional evening event, we look forward to a discussion on solidarity in Europe in and after the pandemic with high-level participants, including the former President of Latvia, Dr Vaira Vīķe-Freiberga.
