On April 29th at the World Economic Forum, Norway’s Foreign Minister, Espen Barth Eide, delivered a striking critique of the so-called “West,” accusing his allies of a double standard in their handling of the conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza.
His remarks echoed growing criticism from the Global South, and highlighted the risk of eroding multilateral institutions and international law.
But is there truly a double standard? And what new global alliances could emerge as the United Nations struggles with paralysis?
In this episode, Stein Tønnesson, Research Professor Emeritus and former Director of PRIO, and Gérard Araud, former French Ambassador to the UN and the United States, explore what “the West” means today and how global governance might evolve in the future.
