She emphasizes collaboration in addressing climate change and critiques Western approaches to migration, highlighting the inefficacy of deals like the EU-Tunisia agreement. Drawing on examples from Yemen, Sri Lanka, and Ukraine, Cuelenaere highlights the need to tackle forgotten wars and root causes for lasting peace. Advocating for nuanced aid and transitional justice, she calls for a reassessment of the United Nations, urging a more inclusive Security Council to facilitate genuine and sustainable peace amid dynamic global transformations.
