"UN Chief Warns of Increasing Global Insecurity and Urges Protection of Human Rights"

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres warns that the world is becoming "less safe by the day" due to a multiplication of conflicts causing unprecedented suffering, with combatants in places such as Congo, Gaza, Myanmar, Ukraine, and Sudan turning a blind eye to international law. He pleads for greater respect for human rights and peace worldwide, emphasizing the constant importance of human rights amidst changing global dynamics. The UN's top human rights body, the Human Rights Council, opens its latest session amidst crises of human rights, with discussions on rights violations in conflict, repression by governments, and issues like religious hatred, racial discrimination, and the rights of children, people with disabilities, and those with albinism.
