| Video Discription | Remarks by H.E. Mr. Ban Ki-moon, Former Secretary-General of the United Nations at the Security Council 8185th meeting on the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations in the maintenance of international peace and security. ------- Former UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said the challenges facing the world today are different than those which were present when the UN was established, including climate change, tens of millions of refugees, violent extremism, terrorism, and nuclear proliferation among others. Ban said the Security Council must undergo reform the meet these new challenges while calling on the Council to take action when needed rather than resorting to simply calling for action in rhetoric or statements. Ban said the world must prepare in the Middle East for the post-ISIS era. He said the Security Council must focus more on conflict in Syria, tensions in the Golan Heights, and the continuing Syrian displacement and refugee crisis. He noted that these issues could resurface, seriously threaten regional stability, and instigate further conflicts among states in the region. “Such instability could lead to exacerbating tensions between Iran and Saudi Arabia, and bring Israel and Iran closer to direct conflict. Violence between the Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon, and other regional threats could also have the potential to spin out of control as a result of deteriorating regional security.” The former UN chief said the possibility of ISIS moving on to settle in vulnerable places such as Libya could also not be dismissed. Ban echoed Guterres’s sentiment that the situation on the Korean Peninsula is the world’s most serious and imminent challenge at this time. He welcomed the recent resumption of inter-Korean dialogue and the resulting reconciliatory atmosphere between the two Koreas created before and during the PyeongChang Olympic Games. “We must keep alive this hard-won momentum for dialogue so that the narrow window of opportunity provided by this newly created momentum will be able to lead to a more meaningful and genuine dialogue process of reconciliation, peace and ultimate denuclearization of North Korea.” Ban said the dialogue would require whole-hearted support of the United Nations and the Security Council. He said a genuine and strong commitment of both South and North Korea to engage in dialogue supported by the US, China, Japan and Russia was needed. |
