Says UN chief at Security Council meeting on Coronavirus
The Secretary-General of United Nations(UN) Antonio Guterres warned the UN Security Council (UNSC)on Thursday that the Coronavirus pandemic is threatening international peace and security, and has provided a window into how a bio-terrorist attack might unfold across the world. He said it is “potentially leading to an increase in social unrest and violence that would greatly undermine our ability to fight the disease.”
The UN chief Guterres listed pressing risks to the world due to the pandemic as he addressed the UNSC.
UN Security Council for the first time discussed the coronavirus crisis in a closed video-conference session on Thursday under the Presidency of the Dominican Republic. The 15 members discussed the pandemic’s impact on international peace and security.
