Chilean President Kast calls for UN reform at General Assembly

United Nations General Assembly Chilean presidency UN Security Council reform migration policy international relations

Chilean President José Antonio Kast delivered his first speech to the United Nations General Assembly in New York, declaring that ‘Chile is back’ following a period of economic and social instability. Kast used the platform to advocate for significant reforms within the United Nations, arguing that the current global order established in 1945 is no longer viable for the realities of 2026.

Kast specifically criticized the UN for its slow execution and excessive deliberation. He proposed three key reforms: reducing bureaucracy to concentrate resources on life-saving missions, suspending non-priority agendas to restore the organization's focus, and reforming the UN Security Council to ensure its decisions are respected and reflect modern geopolitical realities.

Domestically, Kast highlighted the achievements of his first six months in office, including a reported 86% decrease in irregular migration and a 50% increase in the expulsion of undocumented individuals through his ‘Border Shield’ plan. He also noted an 11.5% drop in the national homicide rate and issued a call to international investors to choose Chile due to its institutional stability and commitment to rule of law.
