The final day of the Ágora-R 2026 Conference concluded with two talks focused on the transition toward a multipolar world order and the failure of international solidarity in the face of the genocide in Gaza.
At 18:00, Aníbal Garzón presented “Against Imperialist Aggression! The Transition Toward an Alternative World Order”. Together, we analyzed the shift from a unipolar to a multipolar world, with the Global South and the BRICS as central actors. The paralysis of the UN Security Council, blocked by vetoes that prevented ceasefire resolutions in Gaza, exemplifies the crisis of traditional multilateralism.
At 20:00, Francesca Cicardi delivered “Free Palestine! The International Solidarity That Couldn’t Stop a Genocide”. Drawing from the UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese’s report, she highlighted international complicity across diplomatic, military, and economic spheres, while casualties in Gaza numbered in the tens of thousands.
Throughout the conference, a shared diagnosis emerged: the international system built after World War II is undergoing a profound crisis. The rise of a multipolar order and the impunity for systematic crimes reveal a global transformation in progress, with Palestine as a symbol of its contradictions.
