I was deeply moved by the testimonies and impressed by the dedication of 4 American doctors that have worked in Gaza. 2,500 children must be immediately evacuated with the guarantee that they will be able to return to their families and communities.

The dignity of every member of our human family is enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. It is a pure expression of our shared humanity. And in dark times it remains a shining light.

I am pleased to send my warmest wishes to everyone celebrating Lunar New Year – and this Year of the Snake. The snake symbolizes wisdom, resilience & renewal. In these trying times, let us be guided by these qualities and renew our commitment to peace, equality & justice.

The history of the Holocaust shows us what can happen when people choose not to see and not to act. Each of us must answer that call:. Denounce lies. Resist hate. Ensure our common humanity overcomes division.

I strongly condemn last week’s attack on the only functioning hospital in Darfur’s largest city. The wounded, sick & medical personnel & facilities must be protected. I renew my appeal for all to immediately cease the fighting & take steps towards lasting peace in Sudan.

The @UN has long worked to combat antisemitism, through a wide range of activities & programs. And we recently launched an Action Plan to Enhance Monitoring and Response to Antisemitism. It is our shared duty to stand with humanity and against bigotry and discrimination.

I was humbled to have Holocaust survivors with us today, as we gathered at the @UN to mark the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau. Their courage in telling their stories has played an enormous role to keep the terrible truth of the Holocaust & Nazi atrocities alive. While we are

To know the history of the Holocaust is to know the depths to which humanity can sink. And to understand that each of us has a duty to speak-up against hate & for human rights.

80 years since the Holocaust’s end, antisemitism still exists – fuelled by the same lies and loathing that made the Nazi genocide possible. And it is rising. We must condemn antisemitism and we must renew our resolve to defend the dignity and human rights of all.

This year marks the 80th anniversary of the Holocaust’s end. We stand alongside victims, survivors and their families. And we renew our resolve never to forget. To allow the Holocaust to fade from memory would dishonour the past and betray the future.

This year, renewables are projected to become the world’s largest source of electricity generation. Meanwhile, their prices keep plummeting. This International Day of Clean Energy, let’s commit to an era of clean energy with speed, justice & collaboration.

The technological revolution offers unprecedented opportunities. But it also demands careful stewardship. We have a historic responsibility to make sure this revolution benefits humanity, not just a privileged few.

I demand the immediate & unconditional release of the 7 UN colleagues arbitrarily detained by the Houthis in Yemen this week, as well as those previously detained & held. @UN personnel & partners must not be targeted, arrested or detained while carrying out their duties.

This International Day of #WomenInMultilateralism, I salute their leadership & expertise working for peace & development, at the @UN and beyond. Only with women’s equal participation will we create peaceful & resilient societies.

The women leaders I met last week in Beirut come from different regions & backgrounds. But they are united in their determination to ensure that gender equality is one of the priorities as Lebanon enters an era of reconstruction. The @UN & I will do whatever we can to support

The renewed offensive launched by the M23 in the Democratic Republic of the Congo has a devastating toll on civilians & heightened the risk of a broader regional war. I call on the M23 to immediately cease its offensive & withdraw from all occupied areas.

Unlocking the potential of AI also depends on keeping human agency & human rights at the heart of this rapidly evolving technology. This International Day of Education, let’s commit to keeping humanity at the centre of education systems, everywhere.

Global heating is racing forward — we cannot afford to move backward. Governments must keep their promise to produce new, economy-wide national #Climateaction plans this year, aligned with limiting the rise in global temperature to 1.5 degrees.

To the financial institutions & industries backtracking on climate commitments, I want to say loudly & clearly:. You’re on the wrong side of history. You’re on the wrong side of science. And you’re on the wrong side of consumers who are looking for more sustainability, not.

To the corporate leaders who remain committed to #ClimateAction — your leadership is needed now, more than ever. Do not back down. Stay on the right side of history. Now is the time to shift our collective efforts into overdrive.
