“The central objective is peace. But peace must be just and peace must be in line with the UN Charter and in line with international law. And to be honest, I do not think this General Assembly, the conditions are met to have a serious dialogue on peace. I think the parties are far from that possibility at the present moment, but we will never never stop our efforts to make sure that peace comes to Ukraine - just peace in line with the Charter and in line with international law.”

5. SOUNDBITE (English) António Guterres, Secretary-General, United Nations:
“The war in Ukraine is today a major factor of increasing geopolitical tensions and the increase of geopolitical tensions is a major reason for us not to be able to address effectively the challenges at the present times: climate change and the risks of disruptions caused by new technologies for which there is not an effective global governance system. Artificial Intelligence is a case in point. It can bring enormous benefits to human but it can be a source of risks that needs to be mitigated. Unfortunately, at the present moment, the world is not united facing these challenges. And this is why it is so important that the war in Ukraine ends because it is one of the factors that is undermining the capacity of the world to come together.”

“Africa today spends more money servicing the debt than in education. So this shows how much we need to transform an unfair international global system to make sure that the the Sustainable Development Goals become a reality.”

“We have a Climate Ambition Summit in which we are asking countries and we are asking companies and we are asking civil society and others, to come and to present their engagement with new projects, with new commitments, able to reverse the present trend in which climate change is out of control as we know.”

“Universal health coverage is an essential objective of the UN. And it requires not only our systems to work, it requires also financial systems to be much more fair than what they are today. And there are central questions to be addressed in relation to intellectual property, in the way the pharmaceutical industry operates. Let's not forget that 90 percent of the investment that is made in pharmaceutical products is essentially for the diseases that are predominant in the north, and only 10 percent for the diseases that are predominant in the south. So there are basic structural inequalities in the way the system works. And one of the things that I believe is essential is increase the resources and the power of the World Health Organization.”
