The Middle East is on a knife-edge. Recent escalations make it even more important to support good-faith efforts to find lasting peace between Israel and a fully independent, viable and sovereign Palestinian state...I urge every Government involved to use its influence and leverage to promote trust-building, mutual security, and regional peace. — ANTÓNIO GUTERRES

"We must support women’s organisations on the front line", declared the Secretary-General António Guterres in his message for International Women's Day. "And we must invest in programmes to end violence against women, and to drive women’s inclusion and leadership in economies, digital technologies, peacebuilding and climate action."
