Antonio Guterres

Nigeria has demanded the complete elimination of nuclear weapons, warning that humanity cannot continue to depend on weapons capable of destroying civilisation as instruments of collective security.

Guterres stated this in his message ahead of World Tourism Day 2026, scheduled for September 27, under the theme, “Digital Agenda and Artificial Intelligence to Redesign Tourism.”

United Nations Secretary-General, António Guterres, has launched a fresh and forceful challenge to the 80-year-old global power structure, demanding reform of the UN Security Council and declaring Africa’s continued exclusion from permanent membership “unjust and indefensible”.

Guterres issued the warning in New York while opening the 81st session of the United Nations General Assembly, where he called on member states to urgently restore faith in multilateral cooperation and international institutions.
