And the truth is that the Security Council became during these ten years practically paralyzed by the geopolitical divides,» Guterres said.The Secretary‑General then remembered a series of vetoes on issues related to the conflict in Ukraine, as well as US’s vetoes on Israel’s actions in the Middle East, primarily in the Gaza Strip.
