今日は歴史的な一日でした。CEBがアジアで初めて東京で開催され、ガイ・バーナード・ライター国連事務次長による講演がありました。

現在、常任理事国5カ国のうち2カ国が国際法を無視という危機的状況の中で、ライター氏から日本への熱いメッセージが届きました。

🇯🇵 日本への2つの期待

1️⃣ 国際法を順守し、法に基づく国際秩序の模範であり続けること

2️⃣ 国連改革の声を上げ続けること——加盟国の一員として主体的に推進すべき

グテーレス事務総長が来日し、高市総理と「日本が国連改革を後押しする」と約束を交わしたばかり。このタイミングでの事務次長の言葉は、極めて重く、日本の方向性を示す決定的なメッセージだと感じています。

Strait of Hormuz de-escalation is urgent, says UN chief
