United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres speaks strongly at the UN Human Rights Council meeting in Geneva. He tells everyone that the world now lives in chaos and big changes. The old system that kept countries safe for nearly 80 years shifts rapidly today. Therefore, leaders must create a new global security plan right away. They need to build it on clear facts about the current situation around the world.
Human Rights Face Huge Attacks All Over the Planet
Guterres explains that human rights suffer major attacks everywhere on Earth. Powerful nations lead these attacks openly and without hiding. Moreover, force now wins over fair laws in many places. He shows real anger about Russia’s war in Ukraine. More than 15,000 civilians have died there during four years of fighting. As a result, he demands that the killing must stop immediately. In addition, he points out serious violations in Palestinian lands under Israeli control. These moves destroy the two-state solution on purpose and in full view. Consequently, the whole world community cannot let this happen and must act now to protect peace.
UN Rights Chief Notices Rising Control and Power Struggles
Furthermore, UN rights chief Volker Turk fully agrees and raises the alarm too. He warns that control and dominance return strongly across the globe. A fierce battle for power, land, and resources plays out at a speed and strength unseen for the past 80 years. Therefore, countries now use force more often to settle arguments inside and between nations. However, Turk calls on people everywhere to join hands and defend basic rights. Additionally, he pushes for a powerful pushback against top-down ruler styles that ignore others. Moreover, he strongly criticizes leaders who act as if they sit above all laws and the UN Charter. They claim special excuses like danger or moral right to chase their goals at any price. Some even turn their money power into a weapon against weaker nations.
Guterres adds that people now excuse huge suffering, treat humans like trading cards, and view world laws as unimportant details. He stresses that everyone must renew their promise to defend rights and bring back order.
