UN Charter is not a-la-carte menu: Guterres
Sunday Island
|June 29, 2025
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres called out the selective application of the UN Charter, saying it is not an a-la-carte menu.
“Today, we see assaults on the purposes and principles of the UN Charter like never before: the threat or use of force against sovereign nations; the violation of international law, including international humanitarian law and international human rights law; the targeting of civilians and civilian infrastructure; the weaponization of food and water; the erosion of human rights,” he told a UN General Assembly event on Thursday to mark the 80th anniversary of the signing of the UN Charter.
