Lowering humanitarian support is a death sentence and leads to chaos



In his opening speech to the 80th session of the United Nations General Assembly, the Secretary -General of the United Nations, Antonio Guterres, warned of the repercussions of reducing financial support for humanitarian and development aid, saying that this creates chaos and threatens the lives of millions.








Guterres said: “Reducing development aid causes chaos. This is a death sentence, and the theft of the future of a greater number.” Without mentioning the United States in the name despite its great reduction in support to international institutions since the return of US President Donald Trump to the White House. Pointing to the escalation of crises in an increasing number of countries, the risks of nuclear weapons, and the continuation of conflicts without deterrence. He said: “Out of the law is an infection that leads to chaos, rushes terrorism and the dangers of nuclear weapons available to all.” Although his warnings, the Secretary -General pointed to a glow of hope through the ceasefire between Cambodia and Thailand, and the agreement between Azerbaijan and Armenia in which the United States played the role of mediation, but stressed that the foundations of peace “vibrate under the weight of impunity, lack of equality and indifference.” “Sovereignty countries are subjected to invasion, hunger uses a weapon, the truth is silent, and the smoke is rising from the cities, the anger is increasing in the dismantled societies, and the seas swallow the coast.” To re -adhere to international rules and respect for human rights, stressing that the collapse of these foundations leads to a world more chaotic and dangerous.
