A year of devastation: a call for ceasefire

Oct 7, 2024 | Media Releases

Today is a day that will intensify the emotions of grief, despair, hopelessness, and loss for communities around the world. It is a day that reminds us of the human cost of conflict and the fragility of peace.  

As we reflect on this day, we urge for an immediate and unconditional ceasefire between all parties to the conflict across the Middle East. By working together for peace, we can bring an end to continuous suffering, helping to ensure that loved ones are returned to where they belong, and for home to be a safe place for all.  

The leadership we need today must embody moral integrity and provide a vision that upholds our fundamental values and the international humanitarian system. 

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, established over 75 years ago, remains a cornerstone of dignity and justice. The needs we face today echo the principles enshrined in that declaration. We must reaffirm our commitment to these ideals and ensure that the rights of all individuals are respected and protected. 

The world cannot wait.
