Africa-Press – Botswana. The Secretary-General of the United Nations, António Guterres, warned today, at the UN Security Council, that the nuclear risk has reached its highest point in decades.
According to the website Notícias ao Minuto, at the UN Security Council meeting on “Maintaining international peace and security: promoting common security through dialogue and cooperation”, the Secretary-General made an assessment that concluded that the “collective security system is being tested more than ever”.
Guterres also expanded on the “Persistent differences between major world powers – including within this Council” that “continue to limit our ability to respond collectively”, with “humanitarian aid being pushed to the limit. Human rights and the rule of law are under attack. Trust is lacking”, he stressed.
The bombings in Zaporija at the Ukrainian nuclear power plant are of strong concern to the UN and that “Many of the systems established decades ago now face challenges that were unimaginable to our predecessors – cyber warfare, terrorism and lethal autonomous weapons”.
The Chief of the United Nations concludes by saying that “The tools that have prevented us from a catastrophic world war are more important than ever”.
