“The UN Charter is a declaration of hope — and the foundation of international cooperation for a better world.” On Thursday, UN Secretary-General antonioguterres marked 80 years since the signing of the #UnitedNations Charter — the Organization’s founding document, which sets out its principles, purposes and structure for promoting peace, security and global cooperation. “Eighty years ago, from the ashes of war, the world planted a seed of hope,” he told the UN General Assembly, adding: “That peace is possible when humanity stands together.” “Today, we see assaults on the purposes and principles of the UN Charter like never before.” The Secretary-General urged countries to uphold the Charter —its spirit, its responsibilities and its call to build a better future for peace, justice, progress and ‘we the peoples’. #CharterDay
