tert.am The UN has no leverage over the parties involved in the conflicts currently taking place around the world. This was stated by the organization's Secretary-General António Guterres, TASS reports:
«The problem is that, let's be honest, we do not have leverage over the parties to the conflicts to take our initiatives seriously. This is becoming more and more difficult as the conflicts become more and more complex, and more actors are involved in them,» he said in an interview with Al Jazeera.
In this regard, Guterres also stated that the UN Security Council does not provide the necessary support for resolving conflicts.
The Secretary-General of the organization spoke about the situation in the world in the context of the ongoing conflict in Sudan. According to him, the UN Security Council was divided on this issue.
Let us remind you that the political discussion of the 81st session of the UN General Assembly (GA) will begin on Tuesday in New York. Over the next week, around 130 world leaders will gather at the headquarters of the global organization, where they will present their countries' positions on major international issues against the backdrop of discussions on ongoing conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine, artificial intelligence, and the future of the UN itself. General debates will continue from September 22 to 26 and will conclude on September 28.
