“Growing up under the Salazar dictatorship taught me that the denial of human rights corrodes every aspect of society. Working for the United Nations has shown me how respect for human rights brings out the best in humanity. And now, in my tenth year at the helm of the UN, the power of human rights has never been more clear. Human rights are not West or East, North or South. They are not a luxury — they are not negotiable. They are the foundation of a more peaceful and secure world.” — #UnitedNations Secretary-General antonioguterres
