On the occasion of the International Day of Peace on the 21st of September, as a small family foundation, we can only join the message of the Secretary-General of the United Nations and we want to do our bit to make this world more peaceful and social. Only through solidarity, through cooperation and support, and through initiatives of young and old can we succeed in achieving peace. And most of all, remember that peace can thrive above all else when justice exists in all its forms.
Secretary-General’s Message for the International Day of Peace
This year we mark International Day of Peace as we prepare to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
This foundational document is a reminder that peace takes root when people are free from hunger, poverty and oppression and can thrive and prosper.
With the Universal Declaration of Human Rights as our guide, we must ensure the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals.
I encourage you to speak up. For gender equality. For inclusive societies. For climate action.
Do your part at school, at work, at home. Every step counts.
Let us act together to promote and defend human rights for all, in the name of lasting peace for all.
António Guterres
