At the World Economic Forum in Davos, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres highlighted global governance issues stemming from geopolitical tensions and a disregard for international norms. He emphasized the threats posed by climate change and artificial intelligence, warning that these issues lack effective governance responses. Concerns were also raised about the escalation of nuclear arsenals globally, undermining disarmament commitments. Guterres urged countries like Iran to clarify their intentions regarding nuclear development, signaling a pressing need for accountability and cooperation in addressing these existential risks.
Geopolitical divisions are deep and this leads to a situation of impunity. The truth is that everywhere, everyone thinks they can do whatever they want and nothing will happen to them.
I see the potential for a very serious erosion of the non-proliferation regime. Everyone seems to be increasing their nuclear arsenals, forgetting that there is a commitment to reduce them.
