All freedom depends on press freedom. Without it, there can be no human rights, no sustainable development & no peace. On this World Press Freedom Day, let's protect the rights of journalists & build a world where the truth & the truth-tellers are safe. https://t.co/MzxK1Ilsk1 #PressFreedom #HumanRights #Journalism
Earthquakes are inevitable, but the devastation they cause does not have to be. With intention & forethought, we can build safer towns & cities, however hard the ground shakes. Let us honour the victims by investing in disaster resilience. #EarthquakePreparedness #DisasterResilience #SafetyFirst
At sea as on land, the force of law must always prevail over the law of force. We must keep international waterways open, lawful & secure. The ocean must be a zone of peace & cooperation – not confrontation or coercion. #RuleOfLaw #PeaceAtSea #InternationalCooperation
For the first time in decades, the number of nuclear warheads is on the rise. A nuclear war cannot be won & must not be fought. It’s time to re-commit to disarmament and non-proliferation as the only true path to peace. #NuclearDisarmament #Peace #NonProliferation
Chornobyl was a lesson that the consequences of nuclear accidents are shared by the international community. In memory of those who suffered the effects of that horrifying disaster, let’s build a safer, more peaceful & resilient future for all. #PT
