Gaza Schools Reopen In Tents After Three Years Of War<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\u201cAll parties must respect international law and the orders of the Court,\u201d he said, referring to the case against Israel filed by South Africa before the ICC in December 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Portuguese diplomat, however, avoided calling Israel\u2019s actions in Gaza genocide, despite the fact that reports by Francesca Albanese, the UN Special Rapporteur on the Palestinian Territories, openly state that Israel is carrying out genocide in Gaza.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIsrael\u2019s violence, displacement and expansion of settlements in the occupied West Bank are destroying the path to peace and raising the specter of ethnic cleansing\u2026 We cannot allow the two-state solution to disappear before our eyes,\u201d Guterres said, highlighting the Israeli army\u2019s offensive against Palestinians in Gaza, which has resulted in a level of killing and destruction \u201cunprecedented\u201d during his years in office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At the previous General Assembly, a majority of countries backed the New York Declaration to promote the coexistence of a Palestinian state and an Israeli state. The Palestinian delegation, led by its representative to the UN, Riyad Mansour, applauded Guterres\u2019 remarks, while the Israeli delegation remained silent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Donald Trump administration did not grant visas to Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas and officials from his government to participate in the General Assembly\u2019s general debate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A World Divided into Two Blocs Creates Risks<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nUN Secretary Guterres warned of the risk of a \u201cgreat fracture\u201d occurring globally and the world being divided into two opposing blocs with independent economic, technological and security systems. He also lamented that the divisions among hostile countries are widening and threatening to become \u201can abyss.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Portuguese diplomat said the world is heading toward a multipolar system, but it can do so either through fragmentation and confrontation or through interdependence, which would prevent a global rupture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The path of fragmentation, which he defined as \u201cthe trajectory we are following\u201d for the most part today, is based on growing tensions, distrust, and relations without international cooperation, while the path of interdependence entails a world sustained by a network of alliances with international law at its center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBuilding that future begins by recognizing, especially on the part of the superpowers, that their power is not so super. Their power has limits. The events of recent years have made that unequivocally clear,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Guterres warned that the future will be shaped by how humanity confronts \u201cthe crisis of power,\u201d which is formed by the convergence of factors such as the predominance of war over peace, the concentration of wealth, global environmental problems, and risks stemming from artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The UN Secretary urged an end to conflicts in the Middle East, Ukraine, and Sudan, defended the right of all nations to develop with equal opportunities, advocated for a national plan to move away from fossil fuels, and called for establishing a framework of common conditions for the implementation of AI to address the risks it may pose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI will maintain that spirit of firmness and determination throughout each of the 100 days I have left in office,\u201d Guterres said, adding that peace is possible, human dignity is universal, and it is worth \u201cfighting for our common future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
