Story summary

On September 22, 2026, UN chief Antonio Guterres delivered his final address at the opening of the high-level debate during the 81st session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York. In his speech, Guterres emphasized the need to reform the Security Council, stating that it must reflect today's geopolitical realities and have the legitimacy needed to tackle current global challenges. He pointed out that the council was established after World War II, but the world has significantly changed since then, with Africa being a prime example of underrepresentation. Guterres also vowed to "keep championing the conviction that peace is possible" as his second five-year tenure as head of the UN comes to an end in December 2026.
