Many countries face deep-seated governance challenges, but military governments are not the solution. They aggravate problems. They cannot resolve a crisis; they can only make it worse. I urge all countries to move quickly to establish credible democratic institutions and the rule of law.”

“We need to strengthen our capacity to support the different African institutions, the African Union, the different regional organizations in their diplomatic efforts to bring this stability and democracy to the African continent. But at the same time, we need to create the conditions to allow the Africans to address the root causes of the problems they face. And the most dramatic of those root causes are in the lack of adequate development. Development is the central objective, if we want to create conditions for peace and stability in Africa.”

“We took into concern the Russian requests, and I believe we presented a proposal that could be the basis for renewal, but a renewal that must be stable. I mean, we cannot have a Black Sea Initiative that moves from crisis to crisis, from suspension to suspension. We need to have something that works and that works to the benefit of everybody.”

“Hope never ends, but I would, of course, be lying if I said that I believe that we are seeing in the immediate horizon the possibility of this in Ukraine. I think that we are not yet there. And that is why it is so important to take measures to reduce the dramatically negative impacts of this war in relation to the world.

“Without strong multilateral institutions, multipolarity may be a factor for escalating geostrategic tensions, with tragic consequences. Unless we strengthen and reform our multilateral frameworks, fragmentation is all but inevitable. And with fragmentation confrontation can come.”

STORYLINE:
Referring to the “succession of military coups” seen in recent months, particularly on the African continent, the UN Secretary-General said that “many countries face deep-seated governance challenges”, but “military governments are not the solution.”
Speaking to journalists today (31 Aug) in New York, Guterres said these events “aggravate problems” and “they cannot resolve a crisis; they can only make it worse.”
The UN chief also urged “all countries to move quickly to establish credible democratic institutions and the rule of law.”
Guterres added, “We need to strengthen our capacity to support the different African institutions, the African Union, the different regional organizations in their diplomatic efforts to bring this stability and democracy to the African continent. But at the same time, we need to create the conditions to allow the Africans to address the root causes of the problems they face. And the most dramatic of those root causes are in the lack of adequate development. Development is the central objective, if we want to create conditions for peace and stability in Africa.”
According to the Secretary-General, if the world has “more equity, more justice in the way the global economy is run, Africa will enjoy better conditions to address the root causes of the many situations of political instability and, unfortunately, of the coup d'etat.”
Guterres also answered questions regarding a letter he sent Russian Foreign Minister, Sergei Lavrov, earlier this week on reviving the Black Sea grain deal.
The UN chief said, “We took into concern the Russian requests, and I believe we presented a proposal that could be the basis for renewal, but a renewal that must be stable. I mean, we cannot have a Black Sea Initiative that moves from crisis to crisis, from suspension to suspension. We need to have something that works and that works to the benefit of everybody.”
Answering a question about the end of the war in Ukraine, he said, “Hope never ends, but I would, of course, be lying if I said that I believe that we are seeing in the immediate horizon the possibility of this in Ukraine. I think that we are not yet there. And that is why it is so important to take measures to reduce the dramatically negative impacts of this war in relation to the world.
In the next two weeks, Guterres will be travelling to the Africa Climate Summit in Kenya, the ASEAN-UN Summit in Indonesia, the G20 Summit in India, and the Summit of the G77 and China in Cuba.
The Secretary-General told journalists that “this multiplicity of summits reflects the growing multipolarity of our world”, in which “power is more diffuse” and “different countries exert influence in different spheres.”
Guterres said that “without strong multilateral institutions, multipolarity may be a factor for escalating geostrategic tensions, with tragic consequences.”
He added, “Unless we strengthen and reform our multilateral frameworks, fragmentation is all but inevitable. And with fragmentation confrontation can come.”
For the UN chief, “diplomacy is more important than ever to navigate the tensions of our emerging multipolar world” and “dialogue remains the only way to find joint approaches and common solutions to global threats and challenges that we face.”
