As to the report, Guterres said mistrust between nations can lead to more conflicts and difficulties in solving them.

«If you look at the UN for instance, there is a clear lack of confidence in the Security Council today and clear perception that the Security Council no longer corresponds to the logic of todays world in relation to what the world was after the Second World War, when the Security Council was built. It is clear that many international organizations lack the efficiency, the capacity, to respond effectively to the problems they face…There is a need also for deep reforms in global institutions,» he said.
