Antonio Guterres : (7)

" Authorities that erect major obstacles to migration – or place severe restrictions on migrants’ work opportunities – inflict needless economic self-harm, as they impose barriers to having their labor needs met in an orderly, legal fashion. Worse still, they unintentionally encourage illegal migration. " - Antonio Guterres

" One of the problems with the Security Council is that there are vetoes, and they do not allow us to do what might be justified from the point of view of sanctions. " - Antonio Guterres

" Stateless people are hidden. During the 2011 refugee crises, it was obvious that people were fleeing Somalia and Libya – there was a lot of international attention. Statelessness goes undetected because stateless people are in legal limbo and are afraid to show up. " - Antonio Guterres

" When we achieve human rights and human dignity for all people – they will build a peaceful, sustainable, and just world. " - Antonio Guterres

" It’s true that globalization, with all its fantastic improvements in the world and the technological progress linked to it, has increased inequality at country level, especially inside countries. And there are people that were left behind – people, sectors, regions – that has created a sense of frustration in the rust belts of the world. " - Antonio Guterres

" I am a multilateralist. I am deeply convinced that there is no other way to deal with global challenges than with global responses, and organised in a multilateral way. " - Antonio Guterres

" The world’s problems transcend borders. " - Antonio Guterres
