Global order , Algeria calls for radical reform

Speaking at the 152nd Inter-Parliamentary Union Assembly, Algeria’s Speaker of the People’s National Assembly, Brahim Boughali, delivered a searing critique of the current international system, branding it a post-WWII relic struggling under “double standards” and “eroding trust.”

Echoing President Abdelmadjid Tebboune’s vision, Boughali argued that today’s overlapping crises—from food insecurity to technological shifts demand a system rooted in human security rather than selective diplomacy. He placed the suffering of the Palestinian people at the heart of this credibility crisis, calling for an end to impunity for war crimes and the repeal of the “dangerous precedent” of laws targeting Palestinian detainees.

While welcoming the recent Middle East ceasefire as a “positive step,” the Speaker insisted on a permanent end to aggression in both Palestine and Lebanon. Beyond conflict, Boughali championed a “radical reform” of global governance to ensure fair representation for all states, balanced by ethical frameworks for emerging challenges like Artificial Intelligence. Invoking the legacy of Emir Abdelkader, he closed with a plea for a world order defined by solidarity and “genuine justice” over political convenience.
