Guterres calls for Security Council reform as cooperation frays
At his final General Assembly as secretary-general, António Guterres warned that multilateral cooperation was deteriorating.
United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres used the General Assembly to call for reform of the Security Council, as he warned that multilateral cooperation was deteriorating.
The assembly is described by France 24 as Guterres’ final one in the role. His term is due to end on 31 December 2026.
The supplied report summary does not detail the reforms he wants or explain the basis for his warning. It also gives no indication that changes to the Council have been agreed.
The remarks came amid wider diplomatic activity at the assembly, including discussions concerning Iran and Ukraine. Those developments do not establish that either conflict has been resolved.
