Secretary-General António Guterres has urged the United Nations Security Council to address long-standing divisions that are preventing effective responses to international crises. He highlighted how deepening geopolitical tensions are obstructing collective action on pressing global challenges. The call comes as the Council’s ability to act decisively on conflicts, humanitarian emergencies, and climate threats remains constrained by political disagreements. Reform efforts have been stalled for years, raising questions about whether the body can adapt to modern demands.
