We the Peoples – Answering the Call of the United Nations
“We the peoples of the United Nations, to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war…”
In Commemoration of the 75th Anniversary of the United Nations, Secretary-General António Guterres has called for “The World’s Biggest Conversation.” This conversation will be highlighted during World UNITY Week and as we build together towards Peace Weekend 2020 (September 19-21). The culminating event for World UNITY Week on Saturday June 27 is the celebration of the 75th Anniversary of the signing of the UN Charter.
The UN75 People’s Declaration is another key global platform that is emerging during this time. The UN75 People’s Declaration affirms: “The paradigm of ‘us versus them’ no longer meets our needs. ‘We the peoples” recognise the reality of our global interdependence. At the heart of the solutions to today’s challenges lies a sincere commitment to a new posture of collaboration, innovation, and action.”
World UNITY Week is committed to supporting the sustainable development goals by 2030.
