UN Secretary-General Guterres Says Security Council Paralysed but UN Remains Functional

UN Secretary-General Guterres Says Security Council Paralysed but UN Remains FunctionalPreviousNext

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres described the Security Council as paralysed due to divisions among global superpowers, which he said have not recognized limits to their power. Speaking at the 18th BRICS summit, Guterres highlighted the resulting culture of impunity allowing mid-sized powers to engage in conflicts without regard for rules. Despite these challenges, he affirmed that the UN has prevented a third world war and remains functional, though geopolitical divides have made the world more dangerous.
