Addressing the General Assembly yesterday, Ambassador @OOtunnu_ recalled the Prayer of St. Francis, his inspiration.

The next Secretary-General must help the @UN bridge deepening global divisions and restore its moral authority. That authority does not come from armies or budgets, it flows from the principles of the Charter and the collective will of Member States.
