Guterres Uses Final UNGA Address to Press for Security Council Reform
He said the 15-member body must reflect today’s power balance and give Africa permanent representation as divisions among veto holders persist.
- On Tuesday, Secretary-General Antonio Guterres delivered his final General Assembly address at the 81st session, urging world leaders to reform the 15-member Security Council to reflect today's world and address current geopolitical challenges.
- Guterres argued the Council remains ineffective due to deep polarization among its five permanent members, noting that institutions still reflect power arrangements of 80 years ago rather than contemporary geopolitical realities.
- Highlighting the lack of permanent African representation, Guterres called this the "most stunning example" of injustice, describing a 21st-century Security Council without it as "unjust and indefensible."
- India continues pushing for permanent Council status, arguing the 1945 structure is unfit for the 21st Century, while Guterres warned against the "Great Fracture" of rival economic and technological blocs.
- Concluding his nearly 35-minute address, Guterres emphasized the movement toward a multipolar world is "irreversible," stressing that no single power can solve today's challenges alone.
