At the conference, world leaders will sign the Pact for the Future, an accord in which member states will pledge their allegiance to the UN as a central, unifying government."We, the Heads of State and Government, representing the peoples of the world, have gathered at United Nations Headquarters to protect the needs and interests of present and future generations through the actions in this Pact for the Future," the document begins."We recognize that the multilateral system and its institutions, with the United Nations and its Charter at the centre, must be strengthened to keep pace with a changing world." Member states then repeatedly "reaffirm" their "unwavering commitment" to the UN, its charter, its purposes, its principles, and Agenda 2030. They vow to comply with the UN's International Court of Justice and promise to "reform the international financial architecture."
