“As we mark the 80th anniversary of our Organization and the Charter that gave it life and shape, we need to renew our commitment to the multilateral spirit of peace through diplomacy,” he said.
“I look forward to working with you to achieve the international peace and security the people of the world need and deserve.”
“Peace is a choice. And the world expects the Security Council to help countries make this choice.”
This is the only sustainable path to global security, he told ministers at a high-level open debate of the Security Council on Tuesday.
The Secretary-General emphasised that the UN Charter’s tools – negotiation, mediation, conciliation, arbitration and more – remain a lifeline when tensions escalate, grievances fester and states lose trust in each other.
These tools are needed now more than ever, he stressed, as conflicts rage and international law is violated with impunity.
“The cost is staggering – measured in human lives, shattered communities and lost futures.
We need look no further than the horror show in Gaza – with a level of death and destruction without parallel in recent times.”
The risk of starvation looms and aid operations are being denied the space and safety to function. UN premises, such as the UN Office for Project Services (UNOPS) and the World Health Organization (WHO)’s main warehouse, have been hit despite parties being notified of their locations.
“These premises are inviolable and must be protected under international humanitarian law – without exception,” Mr. Guterres reiterated.
Warning that the world is failing to uphold international law as wars stretch from Gaza to Ukraine, UN Secretary‑General António Guterres urges all nations to choose diplomacy over division and recommit to settling disputes peacefully.
