The painstakingly negotiated pact includes declarations of intent for a reform of the UN Security Council and demands for an adjustment of the international financial system in favor of the so-called Global South. It is also intended to lay the first foundations for the global regulation of artificial intelligence. The text also opposes an arms race in space.
