Speaking on the third anniversary of Russia’s invasion of ukraine, Guterres said that the international community “must spare no effort to bring an end to this conflict, and achieve a just and latting peace”.
The Gaza CEASEFIRE is “precarious” and the world “must avoid at all costs a resumption of hostile”, he continued. “Gravely concerned” over escalating violence in the occupied West Bank, he did not know violence committed by Israeli settlers and calls for Annexation, which he describes as alarming development.
He also condemned Herrifying Human Rights Abuses In the Democratic Republic of Congo, where Rwanda-Backed M23 Rebels have fought to take control over cities in the east of the country in recent weeks.

His comments came ahead of a critical un debate later on Monday in New York, as the United States Seeks General Assembly Backing for a Resolution Pressing Russia to Withdraw Its Forces from Ukraine and Halt the War.
The effort faces opposition in the form of a rival text proposed by ukraine and its European allies, which echoes the un’s long standing demand for russia to end hostilities.

Washington left its seat at the un Human rights council empty on Monday, in line with Trump’s decision to disengage from the body, which is the only intergovernmental organization designed to protect human rights.
