In Egypt, UN Secretary-General António Guterres says the Middle East needs a future shaped by its peoples and countries, not by wars often fueled by external actors.

He urges dialogue and respect for international law.

“We need maximum restraint and diplomatic solutions. If the saber-rattling we are witnessing now translates itself into a major escalation, the situation in the region can get out of control.”

Saturday is UN Day!

81 years ago, countries gathered in San Francisco, California, as the United Nations Charter entered into force and a new global organization was created — committed to advancing peace, prosperity and human rights for all people.

Today, the ideals enshrined in the Charter remain as relevant as ever. They continue to provide a framework for countries to work together towards a better future.

The Charter remains humanity’s best hope for peace. But it is only as strong as the commitment of Member States to uphold it.

Polio was once the leading cause of paralysis among children worldwide. Today, thanks to vaccines, we are closer than ever to eradicating this deadly disease.

The number of children affected by polio has fallen by 99.9%. But to eliminate the threat for good, every child, in every household, must be vaccinated.

On Saturday’s World Polio Day, UNICEF is stressing the importance of working together to end the disease. https://www.unicef.org/immunization/polio
