UN Secretary General at BRICS Says, World Needs Peace in Gaza, Lebanon, Ukraine and Sudan

United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres told the BRICS leaders on Thursday that ‘the world needed peace in Gaza, Lebanon, Ukraine and Sudan’. Guterres’ statement was meant for Putin too, who, as the head of State of Russian, was chairing the BRICS Summit, apart from Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu whose army is fighting the Hamas and Hezbollah in Gaza and Lebanon. The UN Secretary-General has been on earlier occasion too, urged cease and advocated peace for these countries.

The UN Secretary-General took part in the BRICS Summit in Kazan, which took place from October 22 to 24.  "Across the board, we need peace," news organisations reported Guterres saying at the BRICS summit in the Russian city of Kazan. "We need peace in Ukraine. A just peace in line with the UN Charter, international law and UN General Assembly resolutions."

Guterres had arrived in Kazan to take part in the BRICS Summit that aimed to offer an alternative world order and usher in a multilateralism, trying to be ‘non-US-non-West’, despite many in the UN thinking otherwise.
