Expressing his \u201cdeep gratitude\u201d for the country\u2019s \u201cunwavering commitment to multilateralism,\u201d Secretary-General Ant\u00f3nio Guterres said that support and commitment are \u201cmore critical today than ever\u201d. \u201cIn our time \u2013 a time of conflicts, climate crisis and COVID-19 \u2013 there is simply no sustainable alternative to dialogue, international cooperation, and global solutions,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Amidst a proliferation of conflicts \u2013 including Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine, which Mr. Guterres flagged is a violation of its territorial integrity and of the UN Charter \u2013 he expressed his particular concern over strikes on urban centres, such as Odesa. \u201cThe war must end for the sake of the people of Ukraine, Russia, and the entire world,\u201d he underscored. The UN chief advocated for a world that respects international law, protects civilians with a peaceful future on a healthy planet, advances human rights and where leaders live up to the values that they have promised to uphold.<\/p>\n<p>The UN remains intensely focused on expanding support for Ukrainians, saving lives, reducing suffering, and helping to find a path of peace, according to the top diplomat. Meanwhile, the UN has mobilized to prevent impacts beyond Ukraine\u2019s borders \u2013 including containing the spectre of regional escalation.<\/p>\n<p>The Secretary-General just came from a visit to Moldova, which, despite its incredible support for Ukrainian refugees, faces the interlocking crises of COVID, security, and high inflation caused by skyrocketing prices of food and energy and blocked trade routes, namely Odesa. Before Moldova, the UN chief travelled to Senegal, Niger and Nigeria, which like developing countries everywhere, are reeling from the cascading challenges of an unabated climate emergency, uneven COVID recovery, and a triple crisis of food, energy and finance, exacerbated by the war in Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p>He expressed his deep concern over \u201chunger becoming widespread in different parts of the world because of the dramatic food security situation we are facing because of the war in Ukraine.\u201d Underscoring the importance of Ukraine\u2019s food and Russia and Belarus\u2019s food and fertilizer returning to markets, the top UN official promised to \u201cdo everything I can to facilitate the dialogue that can lead to results in this respect\u201d. Lauding Austria as a steadfast ally in seeking multilateral solutions, he called the country \u201ca bridge-builder between East and West, and a generous host of many United Nations organizations\u201d. Mr. Guterres concluded by saying that he looks forward to deepening the \u201cstrong partnership\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/news.un.org\/en\/story\/2022\/05\/1118042\">The UN<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The world is facing \u201cmultiple and interlinked global crises,\u201d the UN chief told journalists in Austria on Wednesday during a joint press conference with Chancellor&#8230;<\/p>","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":29015,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_FSMCFIC_featured_image_caption":"","_FSMCFIC_featured_image_nocaption":null,"_FSMCFIC_featured_image_hide":null,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[11659,12554,34,35],"tags":[8795,689,6726,19137,383],"class_list":["post-78510","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-science-news","category-vau-viikkokatsaus","category-vauen","category-vaufien","tag-cooperation","tag-crisis","tag-dialogue","tag-interlinked","tag-un","wpcat-11659-id","wpcat-12554-id","wpcat-34-id","wpcat-35-id"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/kriisi1.jpg?fit=100%2C100&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/78510","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=78510"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/78510\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":79230,"href":"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/78510\/revisions\/79230"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/29015"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=78510"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=78510"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=78510"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
