Description
The rule of law is being replaced by “the law of the jungle” around the world, United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres warned the Security Council today, citing a brazen disregard for international law that has helped humanity avoid a third world war for the past 80 years.
“From Gaza to Ukraine, from the Sahel to Myanmar, in Venezuela and elsewhere, the rule of law is being treated as an à la carte menu,” he said, as he opened a debate joined by more than 80 delegations.
