In the section of the vision document titled "The United Nations Fulfilling Its Mission", Sinirlioğlu reminded that the UN was established to protect future generations from the devastating effects of wars.

The reason for this is not that the United Nations is perfect, but rather that no other institution has the universal legitimacy, power to bring countries together and moral responsibility." he wrote.
