UN under-secretary-general Jorge Moreira da Silva recently warned that nearly one-quarter of the world’s population is caught in conflict. Amid a fragile ceasefire declared by Israel and Iran, tensions in the Middle East remain high, leaving many vulnerable to renewed escalation.
During an engaging conversation with CGTN’s Wang Guan, da Silva underscored that over 105 million people have been displaced globally. He emphasized that peace is a fundamental right, as enshrined in the UN Charter, and urged nations to recommit to unity and stability.
In a world of rapid change, this call for collective action serves as a reminder for young people and global citizens alike to stand together for a safer, more harmonious future. Let’s unite for peace! 🌍✌️
