“I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones”—Albert Einstein. The World Economic Forum said the risks of a Third World War are enormous. “If we add in all the means and methods of warfare—conventional, nuclear, cyber, drones, and so on —we have the military potential to destroy ourselves entirely.
He added: “In 2023, they surveyed the state of the world—with the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the runaway climate catastrophe, rising nuclear threats that are undermining global norms and institutions. And they came to a clear conclusion. The Doomsday Clock is now 90 seconds to midnight, which means 90 seconds to total global catastrophe. This is the closest the clock has ever stood to humanity’s darkest hour—and closer than even during the height of the Cold War.
“This path is a dead end. We need a course correction. The UN Charter and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights point the way out of this dead end. They are a source of solutions and a source of hope. Let us draw from that source, let us draw from that hope, and act decisively before it’s too late. Time is short. And the clock is ticking,” Guterres said.
The secretary-general said the world must work harder for peace, not only in Ukraine but in the decades-old Israeli-Palestinian conflict “where the two-state solution is growing more distant by the day,” in Afghanistan where the rights of women and girls “are being trampled and deadly terrorist attacks continue,” and in Africa’s Sahel region where security is deteriorating “at an alarming rate.”
