U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said on Wednesday he is determined to reform the world body and to see a diplomatic “surge” to overcome obstacles in peace talks, APA reports citing Reuters.
Guterres said the United Nations was irreplaceable and its actions had reduced suffering. “But I’m also aware of the shortcomings and the failures of the U.N.,” he told reporters.
“That’s why I’m totally committed first of all to a surge in diplomacy for peace, to make the U.N. more effective in trying to address the dramatic multiplication of conflicts that we are witnessing and to put full priority on the prevention of those conflicts.”
Guterres said he also wanted to simplify and decentralize U.N. management and make it more effective, accountable and flexible.
