Shashi Tharoor Warns The UN Is 'Indispensable' Despite Gaza, Ukraine Failures In Powerful Address

Shashi Tharoor’s address at the Desmond Tutu International Peace Lecture in Cape Town delivered one of the sharpest global reality checks of the year. Acknowledging the UN’s “failures” in Gaza and Ukraine, Tharoor argued passionately that abandoning the institution would endanger humanity itself. Drawing from his three decades inside the UN, he recalled its darkest moments in Rwanda and its finest in Timor-Leste, insisting the world body remains vital for refugees, peacekeepers and conflict mediation. Tharoor described the UN as a symbol not of perfection but possibility, quoting Dag Hammarskjold’s reminder that the UN was created “not to take mankind to heaven but to save humanity from hell.” He urged a moral reimagination of the institution as it turns 80, arguing that global interdependence demands collective solutions. Citing Vivekananda’s call to replace tolerance with acceptance, he linked interfaith harmony with global peace. Echoing Desmond Tutu, he urged the world to choose both peace and justice, and to become builders of bridges in an age of fractures. #shashitharoor #unitednations #unreforms #desmondtutu #desmondtutulecture #gaza #ukraine #russiaukrainewar #israelgazawar #globalpeace #capetown #tutulecture #worldnews #india #toi #toibharat #bharat #trending #breakingnews #indianews —————————————————————————————————————————— TOI Bharat – Your Window to India And Its Neighbourhood TOI Bharat delivers the latest news, biggest voices, sharpest views and in-depth coverage of India’s political, social and economic landscape.
