Guterres says the world "needs peace" to leaders of Russia and Iran

Correio da Manhã13 September 2026 at 09:47

The United Nations Secretary-General, António Guterres, stated that the world "needs peace" when addressing the leaders of Russia and Iran, in a speech that aimed to appeal for the resolution of international conflicts.

In his speech, Guterres defended freedom of international navigation, emphasizing the importance of this principle for the stability of relations between States.

The UN chief also reaffirmed the need for respect for territorial integrity and political independence of States, under international law.

This intervention by Guterres comes in a context of geopolitical tensions that directly involve Russia and Iran, with the Secretary-General calling for compliance with international norms as a path to peace.

Why this matters

This article is of interest to readers in Portugal because it addresses UN positions on international law issues that affect global diplomatic relations. The defense of freedom of navigation is particularly relevant for a country with a strong maritime tradition like Portugal, and the mentioned geopolitical tensions may have an indirect impact on Portuguese and European foreign policy.
