Organized by the Permanent Mission of Pakistan, the Arria-formula meeting on upholding the sanctity of treaties on January 30th brought together UN Security Council members and legal experts to address the escalating challenges to the international legal order.

In his briefing to the UN Security Council, IPI President Zeid Ra’ad Al Hussein stressed “So apparent is [the importance of treaties], and so obvious is the anarchy that would result from their wholesale weakening, that is it not like asking ourselves to make a case for breathing?”

The meeting served as a vital call to action for Member States to recalibrate their engagement with the multilateral system—not by withdrawing from it, but by reinforcing the legal frameworks that have preserved international peace and security for decades.
