It’s darkly hilarious that the SG thought Zelenskyy would just smile and shake his hand after pulling that. What an absolute dipshit.
The UN is a diplomatic institution. It is vital and by design that they talk with everyone. China and Russia are two of the UN Security Council veto powers. Calling the Secretary General a “dipshit” for doing his job is like calling a Judge a dipshit for throwing out illegally obtained evidence.

Hey so remind me again which world leader has an ICC arrest warrant on them for directing the commission of war crimes?
The Secretary-general of the UN visiting a country whose leader has a warrant out for his arrest certainly doesn’t send any sort of message, like that money talks.
The Secretary General has little to do with the ICC. Enforcement of UN rules is done by its members. Turns out veto powers being able to veto protects them from a lot of accountability.
I guess he picked a side.
When is his term as secretary general up?
Strictly speaking there aren’t term limits for the UN Secretary General. By convention it’s five years per term, two terms max. Guterres is currently three years into his second term.
Honestly though I’m not sure that him attending the BRICS thing is a bad move. Surely his job is to try to foster discussion across hostile lines? I don’t know what his actual conduct at the conference was, but I can definitely imagine that an attempt to push for peace is within plausibility
It would’ve been nice if he didn’t just show up under the radar and actually officially stated he was going with what intentions like every other visit.

Admit you have no idea what you’re talking about earlier next time
You quoted me doing exactly that, why are you acting like I didn’t?
Why don’t you correct someone with fact instead of nothing?
Love that both your usernames are fitting (and deserved)
Well fuck.
Unfortunately not until 2027. They are appointed by the council for 5 year terms. His was renewed 1st January 2022.
