    The Secretary-general of the UN visiting a country whose leader has a warrant out for his arrest certainly doesn’t send any sort of message, like that money talks.

    I guess he picked a side.

    When is his term as secretary general up?

      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.

        Admit you have no idea what you’re talking about earlier next time

      Unfortunately not until 2027. They are appointed by the council for 5 year terms. His was renewed 1st January 2022.
