President Volodymyr Zelenskyy rejected UN Secretary General António Guterres’ visit to Ukraine due to his participation in the BRICS conference in Kazan, Russia.
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.
I guess he picked a side.
When is his term as secretary general up?

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?
