Human rights are non negotiable. Undermining justice for political gain is undemocratic and immoral. Neglect of this and misjudgments of moral principles fuel today’s global conflicts. Honoring and preserving the values of human rights can only eliminate conflicts.

[United Nations @UN]

In every language, everywhere, human rights belong to all of us.

They are non-negotiable.

"Estamos construyendo juntos una hermosa catedral destinada a proteger con dignidad a las personas mayores de todo el mundo."

Con esta reflexión, Carlos Mario Foradori clausuró la 1.ª sesión del Grupo de Trabajo Intergubernamental de la ONU sobre los DDHH de las #PersonasDeEdad.

I have always been inspired by Nelson Mandela’s life & belief that when people stand together, nothing is impossible.

The future is in our hands

On #MandelaDay, let's carry forward Mandela’s vision of a just, inclusive, equal and peaceful world.

[United Nations @UN]

Saturday’s #MandelaDay is an opportunity to honour Madiba's lifelong commitment to freedom, justice and equality.

Each of us can learn from and be inspired by Nelson Mandela’s legacy, and take action to achieve a better future for all.

Sixty years ago, the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (#ICESCR) turned our most essential, everyday rights into legal commitments. 📜

Yesterday, we joined with Thailand's Ministry of Justice to mark the 60th anniversary of this key covenant.

Let's renew our commitment to human dignity, equality, and non-discrimination, and ensure that these rights are translated into reality for everyone, everywhere.

Aid cuts are forcing many women's organizations in humanitarian settings to reduce or suspend life-saving services, new @UN_Women report shows.

At least 1 million women and girls have lost access to critical support since January 2025. The consequences extend far beyond humanitarian response. The dismantling of women’s organizations is not happening in a vacuum but against a global backlash on the rights of women and girls. https://t.co/INbODwb09Q

Four years after the landmark #TransformingEducation Summit convened by the @UN Secretary-General, #UNESCO is bringing together education leaders from around the world to identify solutions to the global education financing crisis.

As new figures show that international aid to education could fall by up to 30% between 2023 and 2027, and that 113 countries spend more on debt servicing than on education, @UNESCO is publishing concrete recommendations to help countries break the debt trap and invest in education.

Young people, experts and UN leaders came together at the inaugural Global Dialogue on AI Governance in Geneva, to discuss how artificial intelligence is changing our world. They shared their hopes, concerns and ideas for making sure AI benefits everyone.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

AI may feel intangible, but its footprint is not.

Data centres already consume more electricity than most countries.

I’m calling on every major AI company to measure & publicly disclose the full footprint of its systems & to commit to power every data centre with renewable energy by 2030.
