"In 2023, let’s put peace at the heart of our words and actions. Together, let’s make 2023 a year when peace is restored to our lives, our homes, and our world." — António Guterres in 2023 New Year's video message
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights was adopted 75 years ago. The Declaration described, for the first time, entitlements that apply to everyone, everywhere, always. The most translated document in the world, its English version is just 1300 words long. But all human life is there. […] As we celebrate the impact of the [Declaration], our worst enemy is complacency. We must continue to make human rights real in the lives of people everywhere. — ANTÓNIO GUTERRES
