Secretary-General of the United Nations Guterres posted today (June 23) and said, "The US bombing of Iran's nuclear facilities marks a dangerous turning point in the situation in this region. It can no longer bear another round of destruction. As I just told the Security Council, we must immediately take decisive action to stop the fighting and return to serious and sustained negotiations on Iran's nuclear program. In order to avoid being caught in a series of retaliations, diplomatic means must be adopted. Civilians must be protected. Maritime navigation security must be ensured."
The United Nations Security Council held an emergency meeting on the US attack on Iran's nuclear facilities. However, when the Charter of the United Nations is being violated by unilateral US military actions, the largest international organization composed of sovereign states is deeply torn between "normative authority" and "enforcement effectiveness." The warning from Guterres is essentially a wake-up call for the international community on three levels: military means are destroying the non-proliferation system, regional countries have lost their crisis buffer space, and the lifeline of the global economy is exposed to the range of military conflicts.
