Guterres Calls BRICS Multipolarity Evidence for Security Council Reform
Antonio Guterres said the world is becoming more multipolar, meaning more countries and groups have influence.
He spoke at a BRICS summit in New Delhi.
He said important global institutions were designed after World War II and no longer fully match today’s world.
He called for changes to the United Nations Security Council and international financial institutions.
Guterres said countries should work together on finance, technology, climate change, and peace.
He warned that artificial intelligence could increase inequality if only a few companies and countries control it.
He also urged richer countries to provide promised climate funding to developing nations.
He said the world needs stronger cooperation and peace during conflicts and crises.
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said the rise of multipolarity makes reform of the Security Council and global institutions essential.
Speaking at the BRICS summit in New Delhi, Guterres said reforms should reflect today’s world rather than the post-1945 order.
He urged action on four pillars: finance, technology and artificial intelligence, climate justice, and peace.
Guterres warned that unequal access to artificial intelligence could deepen divides in income, opportunity, security, and sovereignty.
He called for stronger climate finance, debt relief, respect for territorial integrity, and peace amid conflicts including those in Ukraine and Sudan.
