  "account": "UN Secretary-General António Guterres will address the General Assembly on Tuesday, urging world leaders, including US President Donald Trump, to work together and respect the UN Charter. This will be one of his last appearances on the international stage as he steps down at the end of the year, having served two terms. Guterres has been at the helm of the UN for 10 years, and his tenure has been marked by challenges, including a world where the rule of the stronger is increasingly prevailing, limiting the UN's scope. Guterres had vowed to serve the international community, particularly the most vulnerable, to the best of his abilities. He is set to leave office at the end of the year, unable to seek a third term.",
  "summary": "Before the Portuguese steps down at the end of the year, he will make his last major appearance at the general assembly this week. The balance of his term in office is very mixed.",
