United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres welcomed the announcement of a two-week ceasefire by the United States and Iran and urged all the parties involved in the ongoing conflict in West Asia to comply with their obligations under international law and abide by the terms of the ceasefire.
In a statement, he stressed that an end to hostilities is urgently needed to protect the lives of people and alleviate human suffering.
Guterres’ statement came after US President Donald Trump announced a conditional two-week pause in planned attacks tied to reopening the Strait of Hormuz, a development that came as a big relief to people across the world.
