Preparing to Leave Office, with World Beset by Problems, UN Chief Talks of a Way Forward

Guterres urged governments to set AI guardrails and overhaul global institutions as 193 U.N. members confront conflict, inequality and climate risk.

  • United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres warned leaders from the 193 member nations that the world faces runaway artificial intelligence, galloping climate change, and escalating inequality amid a paralyzed Security Council.
  • Deep geopolitical divides have created an environment of impunity, Guterres warned, as powerful countries flout international law and the Charter without consequence.
  • Many countries ask, "If superpowers can violate the law, why can't we?" the secretary-general noted, while conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East are having "a dramatic impact" on the global economy.
  • Guterres called for international cooperation and guardrails for AI, which he termed "a universal problem," while the United Nations faces serious financial issues due to the United States' failure to pay billions.
  • When he meets President Donald Trump on Tuesday, Guterres plans to discuss peace in Ukraine and the Middle East, hoping to unite international efforts on these critical objectives.
