António Guterres warns of deteriorating global peace and security
UN Secretary-General António Guterres has expressed concern over the deteriorating state of global peace, security, and inequality as he approaches the end of his term. In a press conference in New York, Guterres noted that the current level of global threat was unforeseen a decade ago, specifically highlighting climate change and artificial intelligence as existential risks.
Ahead of his departure from the United Nations at the end of December, Guterres urged world leaders to uphold the UN Charter and prioritize de-escalation in the Middle East. He emphasized that a two-state solution is essential for peace in the region and called for the protection of humanitarian operations and civilian rights in Gaza and the West Bank.
As the search for his successor continues, eight candidates have been identified for the role. Guterres, a former Prime Minister of Portugal, confirmed he will return to his home country following his tenure.
