beginning his term in january 2007. the challenges he paced were many from iran and north korea's nuclear programs to conflicts in the middle east and the threat of global warming. some of the main objectives the un achieved during bands tenure include setting up the 2030 sustainable development goals. the paris climate change agreement and the creation of u. n. women and entity working for women's empowerment. after 2 terms, ban left office and was replaced by antonio. good terrace. in 2017. but many of the issues he face still remain. so what can the united nations do to have a bigger impact and effect global change in his new book resolves united nations in a divided world ban reflects on the role of his former organization in today's multifaceted society, facing many challenges, the former secretary general, the united nations bank honeymoon talks to al jazeera

bank key moon, former secretary general of the united nations. now the deputy chair of the eldest, thank you for talking to al jazeera. you have a new book out. we'll come to that in a moment. but 1st, let me take you back to the end of your decade. is the secretary general of the un secretary general right up until the end of 2016. some people might say you dodged a bit of a bullet by the date of your departure because your successor antonio terrace took office on the 1st of january. he only had 20 days before another important world leader took office, the leader of the most powerful economy on earth. and that was donald j. trump. he was someone who didn't really agree much with international cooperation. some might say he didn't agree with the un system or you relieved you didn't have to deal with

president trump in there. we got the person that is speaking. i was relieved because i i was not supposed to deal with him. but what had happened during present trumps for years time, as a former deputy general and i was a deep concern about the might let her in his array. the most of the important international agreement had been cancer, the journey, his time, forced on climate change agreement, which it took almost at 10 p years since no more than 10 years. this is total protocol has, has been almost ruined by the door of the united states and the u. s. also, we do from j. c. p, a joint comprehensive plan of action to deal with the iranian nuclear issues. and

there were a lot of such unlikely letters him, which had been into so ray, i am very much relieved and had p. and that and joe biden has been elected and returned to paris climate change over a month and now on us is a serious and worship thing with the iranians, flawed returning to j. c. p. o a and all that are also many other areas in the world to trade. the systems which have been also hampered by the lack of spirit multilateralism. do you think there's lasting damage from the trump era? and did you have a fear that perhaps he might pull out of the un completely and that could affect the future of the united nations. i didn't think that there was a day or 2 consider drawing from the united nations itself.

but it is true that i had been very much concerned then as a former 2nd general, i was invited to many international forum. international conference is a small and big, huge time. i have been speaking out that the president trump's vision was particularly a very short sighted and morally wrong when it comes to climate change is he was a scientific career very much and wrong. and then you can, i mean, can you also irresponsible and i, i poor and one the war that he may be standing in the wrong side of the history. i can tell you that i have done my own most airports and i've been walking tirelessly with the world to lead us so that the world leaders 10 demonstrate their global citizenship, their leadership based on global citizenship. and at this time,

i do not see mentally those globally, those who read it genuinely, as a global leaders, based on global citizenship. you say in your new memoir, populous bullies are perhaps the least effective diplomats. i suspect that might be a reference to president trump. let's look at one example somewhat, you know, so well because you were a veteran, south korean diplomat rising to be the foreign minister before you became secretary general. i want to ask you about recent developments on the korean peninsula during the trump era that were 3 face to face meetings between president trump and kim john on very unusual diplomacy took place. is the world a safer place? of course, he was the 1st united state prison who met north korean leader kim john and or so he was the 1st the united states,

the prison for had the stepped on the territory of north korea when things was very brief in that regard that there was some more the high can the expectation and that us prison will be able to agree on the very concrete agreement with the north koreans to make. and you know, clearly jason of the korean peninsula, particularly when i i'm saying that about north korea. north korea is the only country 1st and the only country and 21st century who have tested 6 times nuclear bombs. and they have also tested the inter content or polish to mrs. long range and short ranges and they are. so i'm developing a summary based nuclear weapons as a term and therefore we had much,

much expectation. but in the end, his sort of really to show type diplomacy has made the lot of koreans and the people of a piece robbing people are very much disappointed. now, the current situation on the korean peninsula is all of them much worrisome. we have to make sure that during prison by this era that, that there should be a complete can, you can change ation of the korean peninsula. north korea is a place where the napoleon, human rights record when you a secretary general, used to talk a lot about human rights upfront. but it's pretty clear that human rights abuses a grubbing around the world. and some of the most powerful countries on us are involved. i give you 2 examples. for example, the week people in china,

permanent member of the security council responsible. what some say is genocide and syria where human rights groups all agree that russia has joined the aside regime in abuses including targeting medical facilities. you a secretary general. how hard is it for a secretary general to confront these sort of problems when they're carried out by the most powerful countries thought of course. so abuses of human rights violators in this world. now because of the divisions, divisions among big powers, particularly palmer members of the sequence council bit 5, then not think could have been agreed upon to deal with the human rights. for example, on, in the case of syria, 6600000 syrians are now had become refugees here and there in georgia that live on iraq and new jersey and israel,

i have visited or is precious. but security council has not been able to agree on anything, even on purely genuine. it schuman perry on issues because of the people power, then, are there who should be blamed on. this is only the people. then i have been speaking out that the justice will prevail for those perpetrators of violators of human rights and justice. then i been speaking out that justice will prevail if not today, tomorrow, if not tomorrow. surely in the near future. that is what i international criminal court and other traditionally bodies and special court, which i have been established established during my time has been working. but unfortunately, we have not seen much progress in this. you mentioned syria, and there is an intriguing reference in your new book. it says if the un has been

allowed to take a larger role earlier in the syrian war, i believe you would not mile be grappling with their own refugee crisis. what role did you want the un to take and who stopped you? i have been speaking to aren't bi schon. i sat of syria many times, but she's been lying or the time. so therefore, then i appointed my prejudice of coffee and then locked up right here. me and many a were able to, per met with or in this and the wash, asians have not used it any any as such as any result because of the division among p 5, pomona members of the sea for the council. that is why many member states are now arguing that there should be reform of the secret the council. but it is, i've tore your decision decision is in the hands of a 5,

pomona members. there phone. why do the form with the secret in council has been one of the agenda of many years, many decades now. we have not been able to make any progress. i am very, very much of frustrated about that. this kind of situation i am urging, as a former 2nd general and also my successor and tony would tenisha will be real. i mean, real pointed soon. and then i think the united nation should really speak out on the mattress or the prince. put schuman rice and human dignity. well, one of those matters is a country that has deteriorated greatly this year in terms of its situation. one way you worked for a very long time, and that's man, mom, where there was a qu on the 1st of february. you spoke in the security council,

a powerful call to action in april. you said that was a fleeting moment for strong action to stop the atrocities. nothing has been done. do you fear that fleeting moment has now passed in my report to the security council? on april 19th, i suggested to the members of the secret because to consider even the process of invoking responsibility to protect as we did in 2011. in the case of libya, of course, this will be met. i'm afraid to say that the by the futile power, but it's dora tours dora regions which we cannot pride to address or in this unlock september situation. but the member state of the united nation is particular security. they are not divided completely if i did. and therefore, i'm very urging,

1st of all is an issue among the i c n. so i certainly those should take a much, much stronger action. i myself or for my own visit to me to the military leader. and but tell you the price that the timing was not the convenient for them, but when would be there would be a convenient time for me to visit because nothing has been happen. it is the people who will suffer from all dis, a military dictatorship. you mention the problems in the security council, and again, it comes back to the dysfunction in the permanent 5 members of the security council with regard to me on mar with regard to t grey. and that seems to be no appetite for any sort of punitive action. arms embargo sanctions from russia and china potentially though,

as you move forward, if these 2 countries are going to support sanctions and we know that they're not on the un sanctions, but both countries are on the e. u and the u. s. sanctions doesn't increasingly the security council become more and more toothless. and then the un itself become more irrelevant. it's not truthful if in fact it has become 2 or 3 is. but they have chief very strong power on tours to solve the problems to sort of of september i human rights issues and violations of and press per cent. ideals of the international united nations, chatham, in the case of t grey, i, again, the t p concern that this is now being prepared, perpetrated by the country when the leader is a nobel peace,

laurie prime minister, i b med war. so i didn't know that pearson only to just a couple of years ago. me not this or 6600000 people in the gray to gray. i think they are suffering or law because of 1st of all, lego food level one term. and there's always been a military actions. i am again asking african union african union. they have quite the efficient way of making decisions, but they have not yet taken in a productive way. in recent weeks we've seen another conflict in the middle east, the bombardment of gauze, rocket spot by hamas. you have seen this before several times when you are the secretary general. i was in the region recently. i've been visiting for 30 years. i spoke to quite a few palestinian people and there's absolutely no hope left among these people.

what is to be done? this the liver, they warm between israel. mouse was really terrible room. and it reminded me of my time when i had to deal with the such kind of friday of farming, which had been mostly provoked by how much or the times. but i know that it or this had been provoked by her mother and the return by israelis. but the magnitude of returning all this crisis was not rational rational for so long. it also reminded me of my own diplomat diplomat. the engagement in january 2009. it started december late december,

2008, but i was on the road and i was on a so course conveyor belt to diplomacy. i was visiting at least 4 countries all day meeting the those of a 4 countries. secretary general, should the current secretary general be doing that because he didn't leave new york . right? that's his his job and i didn't have any comment about this. i have been speaking to prime minister natalia all the times. then there is a saying that you can have a choice of everything as a human being. you can have a choice of your friends or to meet or to me even you can have a choice of your own spouse. if you don't like, then you can divorce, but when it comes to your rest convey bar, you have no choice. you have to leave as long as this

planet or last continuous. this is what i have been saying, therefore i am urging now, next, pres, prime minister. mister bennet seems to be next. the prime minister is right. and he should sit down together with the president. the monmouth, mom would i was, i was, i was of police in $1330.00 already i agenda on the table is a matter of choice. there are many speakers, the cows reservations. numerous is simply the cause, the resolution. and there is also also agreement. and there is every report sorry, sorry to interrupt you that they all refer to a 2 state solution, but just the situation on the ground now. where is the viable palestinian state?

it's already been built all over, not palestinians. of course, they are not sort of, sort of the unified and, but when they are on the old pression, under such a charge, it is current schuman situation is only natural that they are not united. then you shrier as a bigger and more powerful country. they should be more compassionate. i have declared why this thing is right. i think i'm the only sexual general who has been public stating that israel has said, i appreciate the change in secret. the concern of israel dad was very much appreciated by israelis because nobody was speaking out about you

shows all the secret concern is a genuine. so we fully appreciate that kind of training that does not give any right to destroy or it is a central one. then the unconditional bindings with much, much super military power and therefore they should sit down together that many options are already available. and there are many countries who are really willing to support to stay solutions. now with or in this you sign is having a different relationship with the united arab emirates bearing and then, and moral call and the middle east vision. i think this is a good opportunity for us. right? is also to be genuinely compassionate and try to resolve this once and for, for a lasting piece so that you say it is and palace years can leave peace in peace

and security side by side as a reporter who's covers international affairs and his base that un headquarters i witnessed many events you did not appreciate from reading the book your viewpoint on them, but i'll have to be honest with you. there is one part of the book, one section of the book i found rather jarring. and that's when you refer to haiti . and as you know, there was an earthquake there, and then un peacekeepers brought cholera. and yet you say of the court case that was brought against the un. i thought this law suit was fraudulent from the beginning, and i was incense every time i thought about this attempt to extort money from the united nations. surely these were just people who had been victims of the united nations trying to get some justice. united nations also lost a 100 to staff and saw peacekeepers and it was the united nations

united nations on the my leadership who had been genuinely and persistently trying to had been haitian people on poetry team. hundreds of thousands of people have been contaminated by corporate virus. yeah, i mean, just to interrupt you for a 2nd, you know, the right thing and set up a fund for those people, but it's wo fully underfunded. no money is going to these victims. so can you not understand why they want to take out a cold case? my last report to this general assembly on haiti was only december or my last month 2016. and i appears that we need to mobilize some fundings. there was not a big, big money and but the member states were not willing to show down

sincere support for haitian people at the same time. haitian leaders leadership day was divided among themselves. that was also one of my source of fiction and regret that there is a thing that heaven helps those who have come service, but they are not really united starting from the present. that was what i was very much a sorry to retentions myself as a sacred general member states have not shown much, much to support for hasty, hated. that's one of my regret. and that is one areas that because of this or the pay and after the construction process, you know, it's an issue has been plain, sometimes you know, unfair way, but i'm ready to,

to receive that kind of criticism. you won't new memoir looking back on your life's work is called result. but looking forward, many of the world's conflicts and problems are not resolved. can i ask you how you see the future, how you see the future world, your grandchildren will live in? are you hopeful when you're not connection member states are not solely that a unit united. that is the program now. then there is no way for any. however, a were simply gender 1 may be, and then not a single individual or country can do it alone. we should put all our hands on but there together for the secretary general of the united nations banking moon. thank you for talking to our to 0. thanks so much. thank you. children's edgelog i
