UN urges cooperation on Hormuz aid
The Secretary-General of the United Nations, António Guterres, stated that the unhindered exercise of maritime rights and freedoms is fundamental to peace, security, and development. He urged all parties to cooperate with the mechanism established by the working group on humanitarian needs in the Strait of Hormuz. He clarified that the mechanism will not issue approvals for passage or alter rights and obligations under international law, with sovereign decisions remaining in the hands of member states. The United Nations will serve as a neutral mediator. The goal of the mechanism is to reduce immediate risks, support organized passage, enhance diplomatic confidence, and de-escalate tensions, and it can be quickly activated with international support—especially from vulnerable countries. It is intended as an initial step, not a substitute for final political solutions. Guterres warned that continued inaction could lead to further escalation and deepen mistrust in the region.
