Peace is far more than the absence of conflict. It's the presence of restraint of power by law. It's the recognition, as enshrined in the @UN Charter, that force cannot be the final arbiter of whose lives, rights & future matter. Amid increasing conflicts around the world, my message to world leaders at #UNGA today: We must defend the Charter without double standards. Protect civilians without exception. Ensure humanitarian access without obstruction. Shield humanitarian personnel without fail. Advance nuclear non‑proliferation & disarmament without delay. And demand accountability without fear or favour.
