The United Nations Secretary General on Monday called for a renewed international security architecture in response to a rapidly shifting global order.

"We are living through a period of chaos and change...The international order that defined security relations for nearly eight decades is shifting rapidly," said U.N. Secretary General Antonio Guterres.

"Moving forward, we need to create a renewed international security architecture. This needs to be based on sober analysis of the international situation," he added.
