UN Secretary-General António Guterres on Monday called on world leaders to rely on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) as a roadmap to not only uphold human rights but also prevent wars, combat hatred, rebuild trust and build a sustainable future for all.
Ms. Narváez recalled the words of anti-apartheid champion and former President of South Africa Nelson Mandela: “to deny people their human rights is to challenge their very humanity.”
“Let us put humanity at the core of our actions, and join together to respect, protect and fulfil human rights for everyone, everywhere,” she urged.
