This is the moment to reaffirm our hope for, and contributions to, a two-state solution – the only sustainable path to peace and security for Israelis, Palestinians, and the wider region. The United Nations is totally committed to supporting a pathway to peace, based on an end to the occupation and the establishment of a fully independent, democratic, viable, contiguous, and sovereign Palestinian State, with Gaza as an integral part. — ANTÓNIO GUTERRES

"We must support women’s organisations on the front line", declared the Secretary-General António Guterres in his message for International Women's Day. "And we must invest in programmes to end violence against women, and to drive women’s inclusion and leadership in economies, digital technologies, peacebuilding and climate action."
