International Day for the Remembrance of the Slave.

The United Nations focuses on places where people from other regions are subjected to atrocities such as slavery, torture, plunder of property, and indirect persecution without being allowed to return to their own countries.

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.

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 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.

Serving others has become more dangerous than ever.

Kofi Annan was my mentor and my friend.

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.
