UNITED NATIONS—World leaders will open their annual meeting at the UN General Assembly Tuesday under the shadow of increasing global divisions, major wars in Gaza, Ukraine and Sudan, and the threat of an even larger conflict in the wider Middle East.
António Guterres, United Nations Secretary-General, speaks to the United Nations General Assembly during the Summit for the Future on Sunday, Sept. 22, 2024, at U.N. headquarters.
He also cited huge inequalities, the lack of an effective global system to respond to emerging and even existential threats, and the devastating impact of climate change. But she also said: “The most vulnerable around the world are counting on us to make progress, to make change, to bring about a sense of hope for them.”
“We don’t want to fight,” the Iranian president said. “It’s Israel that wants to drag everyone into war and destabilize the region.… They are dragging us to a point where we do not wish to go.” Iran supports both Hamas in Gaza and Lebanon’s Hezbollah militants. Facing mounting global humanitarian needs, unchecked conflict, unmitigated climate change and growing extreme poverty, Miliband challenged world leaders asking: “How will you strengthen, not weaken, the principles of the UN Charter for the next 80 years?”
