United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Monday called on all relevant parties to immediately reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
Speaking at a Security Council open debate on the safety and protection of waterways in the maritime domain, Guterres said that since early March, the disruption of shipping through the Strait of Hormuz has struck at global energy security, food supplies and trade.
The Strait of Hormuz is one of the world's most critical maritime chokepoints. It carries roughly one-fifth of global oil trade, one-fifth of global liquefied natural gas, and nearly one-third of internationally traded fertilizers. Safe, unimpeded passage is an economic and humanitarian imperative, the UN chief said.
"Navigational rights and freedoms through the Strait of Hormuz must be respected," he stressed.
"I appeal to the parties: open the strait, let ships pass, no tolls, no discrimination, let trade resume, let the global economy breathe," Guterres added.
Guterres also said this moment called for restraint, dialogue and confidence-building. He offered his good offices to help find common ground.
More broadly, he called for respect for international law, efforts to address the root causes of maritime insecurity, and deeper dialogue and cooperation.
