We must choose peace based on international law. This year was marked by the signing of a ceasefire between Cambodia and Thailand and an agreement between Azerbaijan and Armenia, which was mediated by the United States. United Nations (UN) Secretary General Antonio Guterres stated in his address at the opening of the 80th session of the UN General Assembly in New York.

However, too many crises remain uncontrolled. Impunity reigns, and lawlessness is everywhere, added the UN Secretary General.

He stressed that if the situation he mentioned were to lead to chaos, it would strengthen terrorism and threaten the denuclearization of all nations.

Accountability is decreasing, and the graves are growing, Guterres emphasized.
