HeadlineSep 23, 2024

World leaders are gathering in New York for the United Nations General Assembly and the U.N.’s Summit of the Future. U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres spoke on Sunday.

Secretary-General António Guterres: “Conflicts are raging and multiplying, from the Middle East to Ukraine and Sudan, with no end in sight. Our collective security system is threatened by geopolitical divides, nuclear posturing and the development of new weapons and theaters of war. Resources that could bring opportunities and hope are invested in death and destruction.”
