on the mountain ridges. trying to surround this area in order to isolate to school with detailed coverage, serial power fil live. and my how much sick he takes all the major strategic decision from around the world. the water rose so quickly at this new jersey apartment complex. it caught many people off guard me the in 1945. the atrocities and consequences of world war 2 forced the leaders of the day to find a new diplomatic channel to negotiate international peace, security, and cooperation. the initiative lead to what we know today as the united nations and replace the existing league of nations. today the u. n. has 193 member states and it's led by its chief administrative officer, the un secretary general. since its creation, they're benign, un secretary general,

working alongside government to secure peace and stability around the world. from was to genocide, invasions migration, natural disasters, and health crises. the un has trying to find solutions and provide assistance to tens of millions. the role has been famously described as the most impossible job on earth could. how does the current security general antonio could terrace see his position in today's world? ahead of the u. n. 76 general assembly terrace discusses the recent development in afghanistan, climate change. and of course, the cobra, $900.00 pandemic, is the world going in the wrong direction? the un secretary general antonio good terrace talks to out there. ah, un secretary general antonio terrace. thank you for talking to our 20. you've almost completed your 1st 5 year term, the secretary general, and congratulations in june. you were elected for another 5 years. the 1st un

secretary general that all which and trick the lee famously described it as the most impossible job on earth. so how, how hard is it being un secretary general? well, on one hand, it's a difficult job. on the other hand is a fascinating job. we will not be able to solve all the problems of human kind and the power of the secretary general is much smaller than what people think. i mean, member states in command that the false, the secretary general is the chief executive officer. and the only thing i have is the possibility of good offices. but i mean, whenever we are able to do something that ends the conflicts, or whenever we are able to do something that the increase you meditate needs to population distress. or whenever we are able to do something to make sure that the governments do in relation to climate change, what they are supposed to do. i mean,

this is extremely rewarding. whatever we can do, sometimes for one person, when you cannot save the world, but whatever you can do to help the life of individual people. and i was like, commissioner for refugees for 10 years. it's a fascinating job. one thing that clearly has been taking up a lot of your time in recent weeks is the taliban takeover in afghanistan. tell me about that. what worries you most about? what could come next? but i'm any worries. the situation is unpredictable. and what i understood was that some people think the when can solve all the problems i've got, is that now they say on the when is the organization that vision, i've got time. so you are going to solve all the problems that ivers for 20 years were not able to do so. even if they had hundreds of thousands of soldiers or trillions of different currencies to spend. no, it is clear that our leverage is very limited,

but we are totally committed to support the african people. and so the reason i think we were the 1st, the international guys ation that sent a high level delegation to couple. and that's engaged directly with the taliban to allow for many teddy and 8 to be effectively distributed to the african people. now, what i'm afraid is that all these efforts might say what i'm afraid is because the situation is unpredictable that the, that will, it will be a disaster if that will be an inclusive government enough. that is, it will be a disaster if the economy will collapse. it will be a disaster if the rights of women and girls will be there magically violated to be a disaster. if terrorist organizations could operate again from afghanistan, and i think we need to do everything possible to reach the opposite to push for

the thought even to understand the importance of an inclusive government. that takes into account the diversity of the different groups that the to do everything possible for the public to understand that it is essential to respect a number of basic rights of women and girls. i mean, nobody wants of things possible that i've done becomes an order of the country, but there are basic rights, the rights of women to work, the rights of goes to study that it's very important that they understand that essential to do everything we can to persuade them that the fight against terrorism, something in which they must be united with the whole of international community. so knowing that we don't know what the future will bring. i know one sink. if we don't engage, we'll get nothing if we engage. and that's the same time. if we prove our added value by providing humanitarian aid to people that is in a domestic situation with millions and millions on the verge of dying

because of hunger. if we don't do these, then it is clear that things cannot move in the right direction. so it's all duty to do everything possible to support the african people and to help create the conditions for those concerns that everybody has about terrorism, about human rights, about the v t to materialize. you've mentioned the prospect of a total collapse of the economy. we've already seen the batman banking system, enough chemist on is barely functioning. what would a collapse look like? and what would it mean in terms of refugees in the region? and even as far as a field in europe, it would be a total disaster. it would be lots of people dying, and i believe the massive out flow into the neighboring countries with audible consequences for the stability of those countries. so i think it's very important to avoid that collapse. the, i've been saying that you made a teddy and a, these essential, but at the same time, it's necessary. and of course,

there are ways to do so, even in respect for international law, it's essential to inject some cash to allow the african economy to breed. and to avoid the kind of collapse that will have devastating consequences. when we go back 20 years to 911, you were the leader of the nato country. you were the prime minister of portugal. since then, you've been the high commissioner for refugees visiting afghanistan. many times. few people have the same insight as you and what happened in afghanistan. tell us in your view, what went wrong. i think everything went wrong. such the idea that the african people can be ruled from outside. i'm in the british strides and say the russians tried and failed the soviets at the time. now the americans tried and said, the african people is the people who is edie proud, and they have lot, lots of problems among themselves. but they have even more problems with the idea

that that can be dominated from the outside. on the other hand, i think that there was too much military action and not enough support to building institutions. i mean, unfortunately, the thought the but the but i've gotten some leaders. what also the violin we had to elections with contested results. probably the model of election that was up to the gun he's done that was a unitary system, was not the most adequate for the country that you saw the centralized. so the truces that there was a huge this functionality in the government and we have seen it in the relations of the presidents with an international community. looked at it without any capacity to really allow things to, to improve. and so all these sort of juliet is accumulated, and in the end we had the what we heads. and we had it in a, in a very chaotic way that nobody was what caustic. i think it was impossible to, to,

to think that anatomy of hundreds of thousands of people with the best equipment that was, it would disappear in 7 days. some here in the us saying, nato and the u. s. shouldn't have been doing nation building. you seem to be saying they should actually have been doing more nation building and less bombing people and fighting nation building is probably the wrong concepts. i think what is important is to create the conditions for a country to find its own way. the problem of nation building is that sometimes we try to impose a model copied from other parts of the world in which the cultures, the social relations, the ethnic diversity are completely different. so we need to act with the people of a country, understanding the people of the country, understanding their culture, understanding their traditions, understanding that history and obviously helping them to adapt to the modern

times. but not trying to project on them. what we are in 2001 the un envoy then like over him, he played a central role in bringing different political figures together and forming a government. this time it seems to you and is focusing on the humanitarian side. yet the taliban did say at one point they wanted an inclusive government to come up with a cabinet. the only includes members of the taliban should the us not be playing a similar role now trying to nudge the taliban in that to retro was a different situation. it was a situation in which that was the creation of conditions for after the defeat of the taliban, the creation of conditions to bring together the different groups that work together in the construction of the the fit novel situation is completely different. it's probably about one and obviously the,

the tale button do not accept that. that is an entity that will be now brokering an agreement. what is important is to express to them clearly our point of view that in the interests of africa and in that interest is very important that the different ethnic groups that are presented in the government of the country. this is an illustration that they need to do by themselves. and at the same time that is important. wherever women presence in the structures of power of the country un officials have been engaging. as you say with the taliban, you say it's important to engage. and yet when you look at the cabinet members of the taliban government, 33 cabinet members, many of them are on the un sanctions list, including the prime minister, both the deputy prime ministers and the foreign minister. isn't that? doesn't that make things difficult for you? first of all, do meditating, principles are clear. you meditate in action is based on him,

but shall i know. tell it the need, the penson on needs based approach and any money to an action, you need to speak with everybody. you even have to speak with terrorists organizations when necessary to provide the sisters to people. do you believe the taliban is still a terrorist organization? as it has been judged in the past? i think that probably by now want to rule the country and we don't know what's going to happen. as i said, the situation is unpredictable, but i think that that he's at least a part of the leadership of italy about that would like to have got his done as a country recognized by the international community and would be ready to pay a price for that you say part of the leadership in your assessment, how united is the taliban right now? well, we know that it's the news that that are complex negotiations in the formation of the government. so it is clear that the group that was formed as it probably been,

was formed is not exactly like a social democratic part. the northern europe. i mean, it's a group, i'm sure, with divisions with different perspectives. people i fought in different areas of the country with different ethnic groups. so i mean, it would be an illusion to sink that. we are dealing with a monolithic institution. i was in geneva a few days ago and i watched you launch your flash humanitarian appeal for afghanistan. and i heard you say about the african people, they want their lives and basic freedoms to be protected. they want what every member of the human family wants and deserves. but in that speech and every time i've heard you talks recently about afghanistan, there's one word you don't mention. democracy has the international community now given up on the idea of democracy for us on the stone. i think what is essential at the present moment is to get in tea. that basic human rights, special for women and girls are respected. that is my main concern. on the other

hands for the stability of the country, it's important that the country's inclusive to think that we will witness immediately a process of construction of a liberal democracy like exists the load. it was a sort of democracy. it wasn't perfect, but liberal democracy. i think it would be totally knife death. we want the government to be inclusive and at the want the government to accept, for instance, freedom of expression that we want the government to respect the rights of women and girls. these are steps that are important in line of the market, the mechanic view of the world. but we have no illusions that a typical liberal democracy will work immediately in i've got to start and that's to be honest. there are many countries in the world where that doesn't happen. well, let me talk about some of the countries around the world where democracy is potentially under threat. we've seen coups in mali, myanmar,

guinea. we've seen the suspension of parliament into nicea the assassination of the prime minister in haiti. how worried are you about democracy in the world? i'm very words. i think that natalie, democracy. i'm worried with the fact that more and more we see poet taken by force and i see the visions is increasing within societies, problems ation of societies. the rest of truce when the same facts is described in totally different ways by different politicians and different groups within the society population center phobia racism. i think there is a number of serious threats that are happening to the in the developed world in traditional liberal democracies that are serious threats that need to be faced. in a matter of weeks, it will be the 1st anniversary of the clashes in tea grey and of the military

intervention by ethiopia. in the early stages, i know you used your relationship with prime minister abbey ahmed to try and calm things down. he told you that there were no retrench troops in the country, and yet they were, they were executing people. they were raping people. he told you he was going to open up humanitarian access. that still hasn't happened. tell me, are you disappointed in the 3 prime minister? i am disappointed with your situation in general. it chop units have, in my opinion, failed in their capacity with us the, the problems of that on diversity. and i'm very worried about the situation because we have been engaging most the government prime minister and the c p. let's martin griffith visited the leadership of the p l. f. and does you have, as you know the when i made the appeal for his fire for free,

you meditating, accessing to all areas of the 30 tory and for the beginning of each of your lead dialogue. we received the letter from the leadership of the, of the t p l f. i mean, showing that interest also incorporating with us. so that emma is that i think both sides are still convinced that can win the war. and i'm deeply convinced that there is no military solution. i don't think that it is possible to be fit the p l f in today, namely because it is clear that they are very strongly integrated in the society and that they have a real fighting capacity. and i also think that there is no way. busy that the grahams can rule it as in to a certain extent they did in the past. so it is obvious, there is no military solution, and it is obvious that they need to together. we hope that's a human,

it's an excess would be the way to facilitate things. and the truth is that we still do not see the will to stop the war and come to a serious dialogue for a solution. i hope this will happen sooner rather than later. because the risks, $42.00 europe, yep, huge and a collapse of the job. you would be a disaster for the region. and to be tragic for the young people, jeffrey feltman, the us special envoy. he actually said this dramatic quote that if you could make syria look like child's play, do you agree? i'm afraid if, if there will be a collapse in your job, you with the complexity of the job in society. i think that image would probably be a real 1. 1 conflict which has looked more hopeful this year is libya because you had the formation of a new national unity government. you had

a roadmap towards elections, but you still have the foreign forces there. and you don't seem to have an agreement yet to hold those elections. in december, not, you know, we've got an agreement of what sort of elections are going to be presidential or parliamentary, or, or both, or you were at the progress you've seen this year could now unravel. i'm worried about speech. it's good that the fighting did not resume its good, that i feel that there is a kind of equilibrium that doesn't allow easily for a full start of the coffee because it was in the past. but the truth is that we are not making progress in the legal constitutional aspects along for the elections take place. i believe that we must make immediate progress, at least on making some of the mercenaries leaves. but our objective remains the same. libya must be

a sovereign independent country. there is no room in libya for foreign mercenaries of foreign troops. the warlord holly for hafta looks like he wants to be the president wants to run for president. he someone who clearly has blood on his hands . he's been accused, or some of these forces have been accused of war crimes. should someone like that be eligible for high office in libya? this is something the libyans need to decide. and this is one of the things the libyans are discussing at the present moment. and it is obvious for me that we should have a presence of libya, someone that will deserve the consensus of the libyan society. that will be, in my opinion, the best solution. will that be possible? i hope it will. i think libya needs someone that unites the country instead of someone that divides the country. let's move to cobra 19 and you're aware that some parts of the world are getting back to normal. they think kobe 19 is over. do you

agree? no coffee, 900 is not over. covered 19 has been a terrible demonstration of the failure of human, sorry, that it. these was terrible. ethics facts that the international community has failed. i've been asking for months for a global vaccination plan. i've been asking for months for an emergency task force and the d 20. that when all the countries that are in order to be able to double the production of x teams and to get into an equitable distribution of vaccines. this is not happening. we have seen vaccine, national isn't that vaccine diplomacy, but we are not seeing people coming together and finding a common solution and this is a tragedy. and unfortunately the coffee has not been defeated. the problem is we all know that the challenges we face cannot be solved by a country by country basis. we all agree that we need multilateral institutions

to address the common challenges of the world's. the problem is that o multilateralism, as notice, look at the world us organization. they cannot even get the information. they need her. they cannot even do an investigation of a situation our multilateral institutions have, as i said, no peace. and sometimes when they have to use, they have not much will to buy it as it is the case of the security goals course as one global crisis that is worse than coven 19. and that is the climate crisis. you have the cop meeting coming up in glasgow in just a matter of weeks time and you've been talking about mistrust taking place between the developed world and the developing world. do you think that could derail any agreement? and how serious would that be for the world? it can, and it will be extremely serious and we must avoid it. we must establish trust. i think it's important that developed countries understand that the need to do more

in support of developing countries, namely fulfilling the commitments may be in paris. but going beyond that, that international financial institutions need to be much more active in support of developing countries. that support needs to be concentrated, not only on reduction of emissions, but also on what we call a deputation, which means building resilience of communities of infrastructure, helping upping countries resist to be picked up already existing climate change. and that's where seen the vulnerabilities everywhere we are in new york. even here we had some heavy rain and 45 people died in the region around new york. i mean even the most important financial center in the world is vulnerable to climate change. so it's tied to the developed countries to understand that they need to also invest in adaptation in resilience, in changing infrastructure in creating new forms of organization of societies in the developing world that lex the resources to do so. and finally,

it's important also that the some emerging economies of the developing world. but that's up to date because of that, i mentioned big meters make an extra effort. because, for instance, with the number of coal power plants that use plan today in the world. we would not only not reach $1.00 degrees or would not normally be below $1.00 degrees of increase the temperature in the other. the center would not be below 2 percent. we will be completely and the mining the purchase agreement. so there must be an effort, an effort from develop and developing countries to bridge the gaps of trust that still exist and to understand that each one must do more. finally, 2nd general, we've mentioned that your 2nd term starts soon and it ends in 2026. by then the us will have had a man in charge for over 80 years. how important is it that your successor is referred to as matter? secretary general?

i think it's something that makes full sense and i have to say that i've done a lot in order to make sure that gender equality and gender parity is the i would say the symbol of these organizations. we have now joined the parity in the 180 leaders of the u. s. u. s. system. and then our coordinators around the world. i have pushed forward a very strong policy in gender equality. that is only one thing i cannot do is to be a woman. so i am a man, but gender parity and gender equality for me, an absolute priority because gender equality is a matter of power. and the method of follow, you know, wolves that is male dominated and with a culture that is male dominated. and it is essential to changes antonio terrorist secor, generally benighted nations. thank you for talking to l. just this was an enormous

pleasure to be with you again. ah, an astonishing documenting decade in one of the most embattled corners of the globe . a child of that kind of 1020 years of war. follow me from boyhood to manhood. a life that has no, no p shaped by hardship, resilience and adventure. the unique film that captures the conflict in a way it has never been seen before. witness on, there is the right here to report on the people often ignored, but who must be heard? how many other channels can you say will take the time and put extensive thought into reporting from under reported areas? of course, we cover major global events that are passionate lives and making sure that you're hearing the stories from people in places like how buying libya and the region and

so many other we go to them, you make the effort. we care with me . ready israeli plays him 2 times. the last 2 was 6 palestinians who escaped from a high security prison. ah hello, i'm emily angry. this is al jazeera live from doha. also coming up. we had date and grave concerns that the capability being delivered by the a tech class submarine was not going to meet our strategic interests estrella and see if it was protecting the nation's defense interest by canceling. a french.
