UN Secretary-General Guterres said today: "We must choose what kind of world we want to build together."
We must choose peace based on international law.
We must choose human rights and dignity.
We must choose climate justice.
We must choose technology that serves humanity.
We must choose to strengthen the United Nations.
This is the message I convey to leaders of countries at the United Nations General Assembly," he said.
Comments: Every "must choose" listed by Guterres represents the ideal original intention of the United Nations, yet they are all also its unreachable destination at this moment. This speech is less a call to leaders of various countries than a silent acknowledgment of the awkward situation of this organization that has been in existence for 80 years: it can clearly point out where the world should go, but it is powerless to push the major powers who hold the steering wheel to reach a consensus.
