UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres defended on Monday the role of the UN Security Council as the only body authorized to impose decisions related to peace in a world dominated by the 'law of the jungle'. He emphasized the Council's unique role in maintaining international peace and security, noting that in a context where international law is often flouted, it is this body that bears the responsibility for ensuring the implementation of resolutions. Guterres called on the international community to support the Security Council and strengthen its capacity to effectively fulfill its mandate.
