SG TRAVELS
Earlier today, the Secretary-General wrapped up the spring meeting of the UN Chiefs Executive Board (CEB).
A short while ago, he spoke at the World Trade Organization’s General Council. The Secretary-General focused on the importance of revitalizing multilateral trade cooperation for sustainable development and global prosperity. He stressed that the WTO reform efforts should be guided by the imperatives of the Sustainable Development Goals, in particular the global partnership for sustainable development.
The Secretary-General also noted that in the face of growing discontent over globalization, trade tensions have escalated over the past year to threaten growth in international trade and the very foundation of the rules-based multilateral trading system.  “It is worth highlighting,” he said, “that when trade tensions rise, there are no winners, only losers.”
He reaffirmed that a rules-based, non-discriminatory and equitable trading system is essential to preserving the interests of the poorest and most vulnerable economies, but it is also clearly in the interests of all trading partners, weak and strong alike.  The speech is available online.
The Secretary-General will be leaving Geneva as we speak to start his tour of the South Pacific.

BELIZE-GUATEMALA
In a statement, the Secretary-General took note of the decision of the people of Belize and Guatemala, through referenda held in each country on 8 May 2019 and 15 April 2018 respectively, to submit their border differendum to the International Court of Justice for a final settlement.  Established by the Charter as the principal judicial organ of the United Nations, the Court is an essential mechanism for the peaceful settlement of disputes. 
The Secretary-General welcomes the spirit of cooperation with which both countries have sought to resolve this matter.

LIBYA
We are extremely concerned about another attack in Libya claimed by Da’esh yesterday in Ghoudwa, south of Sabha, in which several civilians lost their lives. This was the second attack claimed by Da’esh in one week.
This is another reason why we need to have a ceasefire and to resume a political process that will re-unite the Libyans and enable them to join forces in the fight against terrorism.
