“We must turn the tide, rebuild bridges, and reshape collective action on all fronts: international finance, climate, peace and security, and new technologies.”

9. SOUNDBITE (English) António Guterres, Secretary-General, United Nations:
“International cooperation on peace and security is at a standstill. The world has entered a new era of geostrategic competition. Widening divisions are leading us toward a bipolar world. And once again, our existing tools are inadequate.”

11. SOUNDBITE (English) António Guterres, Secretary-General, United Nations:
“The Security Council is not only no longer representative of the world – it is often paralyzed. As it is the case with the war in Ukraine. And even the various groups and platforms outside the multilateral system – such as the G20 – are caught up in these divisions. The world cannot go on like this.”

13. SOUNDBITE (English) António Guterres, Secretary-General, United Nations:
“There is an urgent need for a global ban on cyberattacks on civilian infrastructure and on autonomous lethal weapons. This is, for me, a central question when one looks at the new weapons being developed. To eliminate human agency in the decision to kill is something that we cannot accept in any circumstances.”

15. SOUNDBITE (English) António Guterres, Secretary-General, United Nations:
“Allow me a personal observation, when deciding on your career, resist the siren calls of companies that are destroying our planet; that are stealing our privacy and trading in lies and hatred. They eventually will pay a lot, but it’s not the right thing to do.”
16. Wide shot, Guterres at podium
17. SOUNDBITE (English) António Guterres, Secretary-General, United Nations:
“My generation has clearly failed in many respects – especially on the climate crisis. I count on your generation to keep turning up the heat on global leaders. To hold the powerful accountable. To sound the alarm. To stand up for each other and our planet, and human rights. And to build a better future – rooted in solidarity, equality, and sustainability.”

STORYLINE:
Taking part in a discussion on the state of world affairs at the Paris School of International Affairs (PSIA), the UN chief stated, “This is not a time for tinkering or half-measures. This is a time for transformation. Transformation rooted in solidarity and respect for human rights and human dignity.”
Today (22 Jun), the United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres shared his perspective with PSIA’s students, alumni, and academics and presented ideas for transforming international cooperation to make it fit for tackling today's global challenges.
He stated, “Multilateralism must be completely overhauled. Global trust and the very survival of international cooperation depend on it.”
He continued, “We must turn the tide, rebuild bridges and reshape collective action on all fronts: international finance, climate, peace and security, and new technologies.”
Guterres said that the global financial architecture is not only outdated and inefficient; it is also structurally unfair for developing countries.
This exacerbates inequalities and fuels mistrust between countries, and the economic and social divide risks turning into political fragmentation.
The Secretary-General’s plan to relaunch the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) proposes concrete steps and measures to reduce poverty, boost economies, and invest in people’s futures.
He added that there is also an urgent need for greater international cooperation on climate action.
He noted that it is still possible to limit the increase in global temperature to 1.5 degrees – but only if the greenhouse gas emissions are reduced by 45 percent by 2030.
That’s why he proposed the Climate Solidarity Pact, in which big emitters make extra efforts to cut their emissions, and wealthier countries support emerging economies to do so.
“International cooperation on peace and security is at a standstill,” Guterres stated.
He explained, “The world has entered a new era of geostrategic competition. Widening divisions are leading us toward a bipolar world. And once again, our existing tools are inadequate.”
He continued, “The Security Council is not only no longer representative of the world – it is often paralyzed. As it is the case with the war in Ukraine. And even the various groups and platforms outside the multilateral system – such as the G20 – are caught up in these divisions. The world cannot go on like this.”
Therefore, the Secretary-General proposes a New Agenda for Peace, which will look at peace to identify the root causes of conflict and prevent the seeds of war from sprouting.
He explained that the New Agenda for Peace would address all forms of threat, taking a holistic view of the peace continuum, from prevention, mediation, reconciliation, and peacekeeping to peacebuilding and sustainable development, with greater participation of women and young people in peace processes.
According to the UN chief, it is also needed a new generation of peace enforcement and counter-terrorism operations, led by regional organizations – in particular, the African Union – but with a strong mandate from the UN Security Council under Chapter VII of the Charter and with guaranteed, predictable funding. Also, to have accountability, notably about human rights violations.
Guterres also said, “There is an urgent need for a global ban on cyberattacks on civilian infrastructure and on autonomous lethal weapons. This is, for me, a central question when one looks at the new weapons being developed. To eliminate human agency in the decision to kill is something that we cannot accept in any circumstances.”
According to the Secretary-General, new technologies are the fourth area that requires greater international cooperation.
He said that misinformation and hatred – particularly against women – spread online like “wildfire” and that the business model of social networks promotes and monetizes anger and hate.
He noted that some tech companies exploit personal information and manipulate behavior, disregarding privacy.
Meanwhile, he added, some governments use spyware and mass surveillance to control their people – trampling their fundamental rights.
He noted that these dangerous trends could multiply exponentially by Artificial Intelligence (AI).
Therefore, the UN Chief calls for a Global Digital Compact that brings together governments, regional organizations, the private sector, and civil society.
He said that he would also appoint a High-Level advisory group on AI and that he is open to any initiative by Member States to create an AI international agency – which could take inspiration from the International Atomic Energy Agency.
He explained that it would be an institution that could concentrate on one hand, on knowledge, deep knowledge about Artificial Intelligence and its developments, and, at the same time, have the kind of monitoring mechanism necessary to avoid the worst consequences of AI.
Addressing the PSIA students, on personal observation, he said, “When deciding on your career, resist the siren calls of companies that are destroying our planet; that are stealing our privacy, and trading in lies and hatred. They eventually will pay a lot, but it’s not the right thing to do.”
He concluded, “My generation has clearly failed in many respects – especially on the climate crisis. I count on your generation to keep turning up the heat on global leaders. To hold the powerful accountable. To sound the alarm. To stand up for each other and our planet, and human rights. And to build a better future – rooted in solidarity, equality, and sustainability.
