ANKARA: Since starting earlier this month, one of the main focuses of the 79th session of the UN General Assembly has been the weakening of the international system and the declining ability of international organizations to respond to crises around the world. While direct and indirect wars are taking place in Europe and the Middle East, the ineffectiveness of international agencies in resolving their underlying disputes has sparked criticism. Existing institutions are seen as unable to deal with problems, take necessary decisions, or implement them in a meaningful way. They have also faced criticism that they are unable to adequately enforce sanctions with the compliance of all countries.
