U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has warned that impunity, inequality and uncertainty are creating an “unsustainable world.”
Guterres instructed an annual summit of world leaders Tuesday that the state of affairs in war-torn Gaza “is a non-stop nightmare” and condemned the rising “level of impunity” worldwide.
“The level of impunity in the world is politically indefensible and morally intolerable,” Guterres mentioned in his speech to the General Assembly, including that “a growing number of governments and others feel entitled to a ‘get out of jail free’ card.”
“We can’t go on like this,” he mentioned.
Guterres was talking because the General Assembly’s annual debate amongst presidents, prime ministers, monarchs and different leaders that started Tuesday.
Citing deepening geopolitical divisions, wars without end, local weather change and nuclear and rising weapons, he says humanity is “edging in the direction of the unimaginable – a powder keg that dangers engulfing the world.”
But, he mentioned, “the challenges we face are solvable” if the worldwide group confronts the uncertainty of unmanaged dangers, the inequality that underlies injustices and grievances and the impunity that undermines worldwide legislation and the U.N.‘s founding ideas.
