On Thursday, UN Secretary‑General Antonio Guterres reiterated that the Security Council is the only body empowered to make binding decisions on international peace and security for all member states. Speaking to reporters in New York, Guterres emphasized that the UN and its Security Council bear responsibility for safeguarding global peace, stressing that only the Council can legally obligate states to implement resolutions or authorize the use of force. His remarks reinforced the principle of multilateral legitimacy over parallel conflict resolution mechanisms, while acknowledging the need for structural reforms to strengthen the Council’s role in the international system.
