Secretary-General António Guterres

On this anniversary, the Secretary-General calls on people everywhere to join together

The 75th anniversary of the United Nations falls in the middle of a global pandemic. Our founding mission is more critical than ever.  

To promote human dignity.   

Protect human rights.   

Respect international law.   

And save humanity from war. 

When the pandemic hit, I called for a global ceasefire.   

In our world today, we have one common enemy: COVID-19.
