French President Emmanuel Macron delivered his final address to the United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday, calling on member states to resist a return to the "law of the jungle" and strengthen the international order.

Speaking hours after President Donald Trump addressed the same forum, Macron warned against a world governed by power rather than rules. "The question before us, in very simple terms, is whether we want to live in this state of nature, with a kind of return to the law of the jungle, or in a civilized international society," he said.

Macron, who leaves office next year, urged countries to stand firmly with the United Nations to advance common interests. He did not name specific nations but referenced crises including the Russia-Ukraine conflict and the situation in Gaza.

On Ukraine, Macron proposed a double moratorium on strikes against civilian and energy infrastructure on both sides. He also advocated for measures to ensure food security through the Black Sea.

Regarding Gaza, Macron described the humanitarian conditions as a "spectacle that shames us all" and criticized the lack of progress on humanitarian access despite recent peace efforts. He reaffirmed France's support for a two-state solution.

The French leader also called for an independent, open-source approach to frontier artificial intelligence that avoids dominance by the United States or China.

His remarks emphasized multilateralism and international law amid ongoing global conflicts. Macron concluded with a call to reject defeatism and defend the United Nations system.
