U.N. Secretary General Antonio Guterres said Thursday that the world needs an overarching level of multilateral governance that can sideline problematic “national interests.” He complained that existing U.N. instruments, such as their Security Council, have teeth but “show little or no appetite to bite.”
He claimed in the 21st century, governments are no longer the only political and power reality, adding “we need an effective multilateralism that can function as an instrument of global governance where it is needed.”
“The problem is that today’s multilateralism lacks scale, ambition and teeth. And some of the instruments that do have teeth, show little or no appetite to bite, as has recently been the case with the difficulties faced by the Security Council,” he said.
In response to questions as to exactly what the U.N. has achieved over three-quarters of a century, Guterres said “at least the Third World War so many people have predicted was avoided.
“We had what many called the ‘long peace’ with many small conflicts, but conflicts in which the big powers did not get involved against each other.”
As we mark the 75th anniversary of the @UN Charter, we must reimagine the way nations cooperate.

My most fervent hope for our future is that one day soon our government finally realizes that the U.N. represents nothing more than the wishes of a liberal elite whose goal is the destruction of personal freedom in favor of a One World Order with these elites in charge, ready to pursue their plans for population control through elimination; resettlement into population centers that can be controlled by force; destruction of nationalism, national governments, borders, laws, constitutions, and liberty! I hope the U.S. government stands up to this communistic attempt at world domination, and kicks the U.N. OUT of the U.S.A.!!
I didn’t know the George Floyd family made policy for Minneapolis or the US. Asking the UN to remove weapons from the Minneapolis police. Whose 2nd on the list to pitch hit when the President kicks out the UN forces?
The UN wants to initiate another global group that the US will be the main finder while the members Rob it blind.
