The international system is undergoing a turning point marked by a polycrisis: rising inequalities, environmental degradation, armed conflicts, food insecurity, health crises, and a growing loss of confidence in democratic institutions. These phenomena reveal the limitations of the 20th-century governance model and the weakening of multilateral norms and institutions.

Latin America — one of the regions most affected by these asymmetries — continues to have a limited presence in major multilateral forums. This underscores the need to articulate a regional vision that reflects the region’s values and particularities, strengthening its voice in global debates.

Owing to its geopolitical weight, sociocultural diversity, natural wealth, and tradition of dialogue, Latin America possesses the legitimacy to propose new parameters for international cooperation. This initiative seeks to systematize a Latin American perspective on the future of global cooperation and contribute to building a more equitable, inclusive, and capable international order to address the challenges of the 21st century.
