Riga Security Forum podcast: 'The UN in a Fractured World'

As previously reported, the Riga Security Forum podcast makes a welcome return with the start of a new discussion cycle October 29.

This episode examines the UN's relevance in today’s world, and what is stated at the outset as an "urgent need for institutional reforms, and how the organization can build resilience against emerging threats like climate change and cyber security."

The discussion will also spotlight Latvia’s candidacy for a seat on the UN Security Council (2026-2027), providing insights into how smaller nations can contribute to global diplomacy and stability. Our expert guests will share their perspectives on Latvia's strategies for conflict resolution, upholding international law, and promoting human rights in an increasingly complex global environment.

Participants are Andrejs Pildegovičs, Ambassador at Large, UNSC Task Force Director and Gunda Reire, Head of the Chancery of the President of Latvia and Director of the Center for International Studies.

The moderator is Uģis Lībietis, Head of the Latvian Radio News Service and himself a Researcher at the Latvian Institute of International Affairs, which produces the podcast.

The conversation is also available on the  Spotify and Apple Podcasts platforms.
