“There are those that believe the power of law should be replaced
by the law of power”

Anna Foster speaks to Antonio Guterres, Secretary General of the
United Nations, about the threat to international law from states
acting through power and influence instead, in particular
America. Defending the rule of law is necessary, he says, if we
are to have a better world.

He also sets out the case for reform of the UN Security Council
to allow it to remain effective and relevant in the face of
increasingly complex global conflicts.

Antonio Guterres has been at the head of the United Nations since
2017, and is now entering his final year in office. Thank you to
