International Day for the Remembrance of the Slave Trade and its Abolition
On the night of 22 to 23 August 1791, in Saint Domingue, today the Republic of Haiti, saw the beginning of the uprising that would play a crucial role in the abolition of the transatlantic slave trade.

On this International Day Commemorating the Victims of Acts of Violence Based on Religion or Belief, we remember those who've been targeted because of their faith.

Whenever one group is persecuted, no group is safe.

Let’s build societies where all faiths can live & worship in peace.

The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) will receive 70,000 doses of the Ervebo vaccine from the UN’s international vaccine coordination group (ICG) to protect frontline communities against the Ebola virus disease.

Preventing and combating terrorism
Terrorism,

in all its forms and tactics, targets the very foundations of our societies and directly challenges our shared values of peace, justice, and human dignity.

On this #VictimsofTerrorism Day, we pay tribute to victims & survivors. We honour their courage, amplify their voices & reaffirm our commitment to their dignity & rights.

Instead of letting terror divide us, we must stay united to build a future free from violence & fear.

On Wednesday, we remember & honour our @UN colleagues who were killed in the bombing of our headquarters in Baghdad 23 years ago.

Their legacy lives on in every humanitarian worker & in every act of solidarity with people whose suffering is so often unseen & whose voices are so often unheard.

International law and humanitarian principles must be upheld in practice. Preventing attacks, protecting humanitarian access and ensuring accountability are essential to preserving life and human dignity.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

Serving others has become more dangerous than ever.

More than 1,000 humanitarians have been killed in the last 3 years.

Humanitarian workers stand up for people in need.

We must stand up for them.

We must #ActForHumanity.

Now.

Kofi Annan was my mentor and my friend.

Tuesday marks eight years since his passing.

He was a guiding force for good and his legacy as a global champion for peace remains an inspiration in my life and in my work.

Digital spaces where children & young people learn & grow are too often designed to exploit them - built to hold their attention & harvest their data.

And all of it is now supercharged by AI.

I urge governments, the tech sector & advertisers to put children's rights before profit & to protect them without shutting them out.

Human rights are not West or East, North or South.

They are not a luxury – they are not negotiable.

They are the foundation of a more peaceful and secure world.

Overtaking and excessive speed are dangerous. Moderate speed is safe.

Driving under the influence is a crime and is dangerous for you and your passengers.

Drive at a moderate speed and reach your destination safely.

Across the world, healthcare has suffered more than 10,000 attacks in the past eight years, including during the brutal conflict in Ukraine and efforts to contain the current Ebola outbreak spreading rapidly in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

Extreme heat is claiming lives on a growing scale, widening inequalities, deepening hunger, weakening economies & pushing development further out of reach.

Unless we #ActNow – to protect people & tackle the root cause of the crisis – it will become deadlier still.
