This is the best summary I could come up with:


He said the world was “inching ever closer to a great fracture in economic and financial systems and trade relations; one that threatens a single, open internet; with diverging strategies on technology and artificial intelligence; and potentially clashing security frameworks”.

Guterres broke newer policy ground by putting artificial intelligence – something he described as a subject of awe and fear – at the heart of the UN agenda, confirming he was appointing a high-level panel to report to him on its implications by the end of the year.

“The war, in violation of the United Nations charter and international law, has unleashed a nexus of horror: lives destroyed; human rights abused; families torn apart; children traumatised; hopes and dreams shattered,” he said.

The Brazilian president, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, followed Guterres by staking his claim to be the true leader of the global south, telling the UN that market liberalism had plagued democracy and disfranchised millions, leaving them in poverty and prey to nationalist totalitarianism.

He made no direct criticism of Vladimir Putin but said the UN was losing credibility and blamed this frailty on “the specific result of actions from its permanent members who wage unauthorised wars aimed at territorial expansion or regime change.

Lula has come under criticism for saying he would welcome Putin to Brazil, for questioning the role of the international criminal court and for failing to meet the Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, an omission he is due to rectify in New York on Wednesday.
