UN General Assembly Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has reiterated his call for reforms in the Security Council.
During a news conference at UN headquarters last Wednesday, Guterres gave a heads-up on the scope of the Summit of the Future which starts on Sunday.The Summit of the Future gathers world leaders to discuss 'current and emerging global challenges, and reform outdated international institutions.'One of those institutions is the Security Council , which remains largely unchanged since it was founded in 1946.
He told the Doha Forum last December that the council 'is paralyzed by geostrategic divisions. This fact is undermining solutions from Ukraine to Myanmar to the Middle East. The horrific attacks by Hamas on 7 October, followed by the relentless Israeli bombardment of Gaza, were met by a resounding silence from the council.
