UN chief sees ‘parallels’ between run-up to WWII and present day
PARIS — UN chief Antonio Guterres warns of “parallels” between the present day and the unstable and dangerous 1930s as he marks the centenary of World War I in a speech in Paris.
“As I see it, several elements today have many parallels with both the start of the twentieth century and the 1930s, giving us grounds to fear that an unpredictable chain of events could ensue,” Guterres says at the Paris Peace Forum.
