Marking the International Day of Peace, Guterres on this x.com wrote: “Everywhere we look, peace is under attack, from Gaza, to Sudan, to Ukraine and beyond, we see civilians in the firing line, homes blown apart, traumatised, terrified populations, this catalogue of human misery must stop, our world needs peace.”
“Peace is the ultimate prize for all humanity, and as this International Day of Peace reminded us – the solutions are in our hands,” he said.
The UN chief said cultivating a culture of peace means replacing division, disempowerment, and despair with justice, equality and hope for all which meant focusing on preventing conflict; Propelling the Sustainable Development Goals; Promoting human rights, and tackling all forms of discrimination and hate.
