The world is changing. And our institutions must change with it.\nBut updating our structures can never mean abandoning our principles.\nIt must mean applying those principles with even greater determination.\nThe United Nations is not just a platform, it is a promise.\nSo my message to leaders comes down to this:\nKeep your promises.\nLive up to the UN Charter.\nBe true to the ideals you pledged to uphold.\nDefend international law.\nProtect human rights.\nInvest in sustainable and inclusive development.\nAnd push for peace.\nNow more than ever.\nAt this crucial moment in the Middle East, de-escalation must be priority one, priority two and priority three.\nAll parties must cease any actions that harm civilians and ensure that humanitarian operations can proceed safely and without obstruction.\nNavigational rights and freedoms in and around the Straits of Hormuz and Bab al-Mandab must be fully restored and respected by all, in accordance with international law.\nThe only path forward is de-escalation, diplomacy and dialogue.\nI will continue to press this message in my ongoing contacts with leaders.\nIn the context of upheaval across the Middle East, we must never forget the dramatic suffering of the Palestinian people – both in Gaza and the West Bank.\nThe peace plan for Gaza must be fully implemented with unrestricted humanitarian aid.\nAnd the creeping annexation of the West Bank must stop.\nThere will be no peace in the Middle East without realizing the Two-State solution.\nAt the same time, we are well into the fifth year of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine – with immense civilian suffering, cascading global consequences, and no end in sight.\nIt is time for an immediate ceasefire as a first step towards a just, lasting and comprehensive peace – in line with the UN Charter, international law, and relevant UN resolutions.\nDear ladies and gentlemen of the media,\nAs we look to threats around the world, let me say a final word about rising concerns regarding the advance of artificial intelligence.\nAI has enormous potential – to accelerate sustainable development, enhance learning, strengthen health systems, boost climate resilience, and so much more.\nBut a growing number of those building it are sounding the alarm – warning that development is racing ahead of our understanding of the risks.\nSome call for a pause.\nMany call for guardrails.\nWe cannot afford to ignore concerns that have been raised, especially by those on the frontlines of the development of AI.\nGovernments must assume their responsibilities.\nIt is the first responsibility of any government to protect its citizens – including from the threats of artificial intelligence.\nNational action is essential.\nBut global coordination is also indispensable.\nBecause AI does not stop at borders – and neither do its risks.\nVoluntary pauses that are isolated, unverifiable and unevenly applied will not address the problem.\nIf we believe AI development should slow when risks become too great, we need more than good intentions.\nThrough the Independent International Scientific Panel on AI, we have brought together global scientific expertise to ensure that policy is guided by evidence.\nArtificial Intelligence will certainly be a major topic in my discussions with world leaders next week – and the United Nations will continue to explore practical ideas and approaches in the immediate days ahead.\nWe need a shared understanding of how to advance the safe, secure, and responsible development of AI – while identifying when increasingly powerful systems may require stronger safeguards, or additional measures to manage potential risks.\nThis requires genuine international cooperation and a coordinated global effort.\nI am aware of the geopolitical divides and the temptations they might generate.\nBut the world cannot afford a race to the bottom on AI safety.\nWe need guardrails to build trust -- and that make AI safe, transparent, accountable, with human dignity at the centre.\nAt a time when the world faces three existential threats – runaway artificial intelligence, the climate crisis, and the intolerable deepening of inequalities – international cooperation is more necessary than ever.\n\nThank you\".\nQ&A","categories":["Media","Press Conferences"],"geographic_subject":[],"subject_topical":["GENERAL ASSEMBLY","DEVELOPMENT","HUMAN RIGHTS","SECRETARY-GENERAL","LEADERSHIP","ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE"],"corporate_name":[],"speaker_affiliation":["SECRETARIAT"],"related_documents":[{"title":"Full remarks [as delivered]","url":"https://www.un.org/sg/en/content/sg/press-events/2026-09-16/secretary-generals-remarks-press-conference-the-start-of-the-81st-session-of-the-general-assembly"}]},"transcript":{"transcript_id":"scheduled-bb764622-59cd-41b8-b7b8-6db0da94d197","language":"en","timestamps_flagged":true,"timestamps_note":"UN Web TV re-edited this video after the transcript was created;
