The world spends so much more resources on fixing conflicts after they occur, than investing resources to prevent these conflicts from (re)occurring.

That’s why 🇳🇱 is one of the top donors to the 🇺🇳 Peacebuilding Fund.

Prevention is key.

Women, children, the elderly, the disabled, & the poor are particularly vulnerable & bear the brunt of conflict. Conflict Prevention & Peacebuilding save lives - Michael Douglas, @UN Messenger of Peace, supports the Secretary-General @antonioguterres call to #InvestInPeace

[United Nations Geneva @UNGeneva]

Peace not only is the absence of conflict, but also requires a positive, dynamic participatory process where dialogue is encouraged and conflicts are solved in a spirit of mutual understanding & cooperation.

@UN declared 2021 as the International Year of #Peace &Trust 🕊️☮️

[Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen]

The future will be what we make it.
And Europe will be what we want it to be.
So let's stop talking it down. And let's get to work for it.
Let's make it strong.
And let's build the world we want to live in.

Long live Europe!

It is time to put armed conflict on lockdown and focus together on the true fight of our lives – the #COVID19 pandemic.
