Guterres's final address highlights four key tests
In his final speech before his term ends, the Secretary-General of the United Nations, António Guterres, issued broad warnings regarding the escalating global challenges. He emphasized that global fractures are widening and that mechanisms for collective action are under unprecedented pressure. He addressed the situation in the occupied Palestinian territories, pointing out that the wave of violence and destruction after October 7 threatens the two-state solution and encourages displacement and settlement expansion, warning of the danger of ethnic cleansing. Regarding Sudan, Guterres condemned the ongoing war, noting that it is rapidly turning into a direct attack on civilians and has caused widespread displacement and famine. He also highlighted the urgent need to reform the Security Council to reflect the realities of the 21st century, criticizing the lack of African representation and stating that the continuation of the current situation undermines the legitimacy of the international organization. He touched on climate issues, explaining that the climate change crisis reveals how one generation is depleting the future of another, calling for the achievement of climate justice. In the technological realm, he warned that artificial intelligence technology may lack sufficient oversight and transparency, urging major powers to open an urgent dialogue to ensure responsible development of this technology and avoid a widening gap of inequality and loss of control.
