7 February 2024 at 16:23 Guterres: The UN Security Council is “deadlocked” UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres warned on Wednesday that the world is “in a time filled with chaos” and with a deeply divided Security Council that is unable to cooperate in solving critical situations in world. – During the Cold War, well-established mechanisms helped to manage superpower relations. In today’s world, such mechanisms are lacking. The world is entering a time of chaos, says Guterres. The Secretary-General also described the UN Security Council as “deadlocked” and in its worst state ever. On Wednesday, Guterres also repeated the demand for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. He then also asked for the unconditional release of all Israeli hostages. This is reported by AFP and Reuters. The Secretary-General also said he is deeply concerned by Israel’s statements about entering Rafah with large forces. – Such an action will worsen the already ongoing humanitarian nightmare, which will have unimaginable consequences throughout the region.
