· World · The Hindu, thehindu
United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres stated that the Security Council is currently paralysed due to a lack of recognition of power limits by superpowers. Speaking at the BRICS summit in New Delhi, Guterres criticised the growing culture of impunity that betets global leadership. He noted that the promise of 'never again' is dangerously close to being broken eighty years after World War II. While Guterres commended India's mediation efforts between Russia and Ukraine, he highlighted that the UN still faces many global conflicts and works to prevent a third world war.
