Security Council grants Guterres second term as UN chief

08 Jun 2021 11:00PMUNITED NATIONS, United States: The United Nations Security Council voted on Tuesday to give Secretary General Antonio Guterres a second term, with conflict resolution set to top his agenda at the world body's helm.

The 72-year-old former prime minister of Portugal has held the office since 2017 and faced no competition for the next term in the job.Around 10 other people also sought the position, but they were not formal candidates because none of the 193 UN member states endorsed them. During a brief closed door session the Security Council voted unanimously to recommend that the General Assembly give Guterres another term, said the council's current president, Estonian ambassador Sven Jurgenson.During his first term Guterres was forced to concentrate on limiting the potential damage from the unilateral, nationalist and alliance-wary foreign policy of Donald Trump.

Play and roll

But his 1st priority like what Donald Trump said the other day is to order China to compensate US$10 trillion to every country around the world for responsible of causing this covid-19 global pandemic
