Guterres tells UN meeting that impunity, inequality and other challenges risk engulfing the world
The head of the United Nations warned gathered leaders Tuesday that impunity, inequality and uncertainty are driving modern civilization toward “a powder keg that risks engulfing the world" — the latest clarion call from Antonio Guterres that the global situation is becoming intolerable and unsustainable.
“We can’t go on like this,” the secretary-general said in an alarming state-of-the-world address as he opened the annual high-level gathering of the UN’s 193 member nations.
He said the world is in “an era of epic transformation” and facing challenges never seen before, with geopolitical divisions deepening, the planet heating and wars raging in the Middle East, Ukraine, Sudan and elsewhere with no clue how they will end.
