“We must learn from past failures & protect the living — by rejecting hatred, inflammatory rhetoric & incitement to violence.” —@antonioguterres as we honour the 1 million people who perished in the genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda 32 years ago. un.org/en/preventgeno…

Science shows what is possible. From breakthrough medicines and clean air to life-saving vaccines and new discoveries — science works for all of us, every day. This #WorldHealthDay, let's come together and #StandWithScience. 💙

On this #WorldHealthDay, we celebrate the power of science to protect the health of people and our planet. The choices we make – what we research, fund, and prioritize – must be guided by the dignity and equality of all people.

Landmines, explosive remnants of war & improvised explosive devices do not disappear when the fighting is over. They kill thousands each year & injure many more. On #MineAwarenessDay, let’s eradicate the threat posed by these weapons – so everyone can live in safety.

Women’s leadership is a cornerstone of sustainable development, peace, security and inclusive prosperity. At the fifth annual Women Leaders Retreat, leaders from across the UN and around the world reaffirmed their commitment to women’s rights, gender equality and the principles of the UN Charter, while also addressing emerging challenges such as multilateralism, financing and the future of technology. To deliver on the SDGs, we must protect progress, scale up investment and strengthen women’s leadership at all levels! Read more: un.org/sg/en/content/…
