“The promotion of international peace and security is at the heart of the work of the United Nations.

 

“We must continue to strengthen the Organisation by ensuring that its peace and security architecture is appropriate for the 21st century, particularly making a priority of prevention. Drivers of conflict such as poverty, inequality, human rights abuses, lack of access to education and employment opportunities, must be tackled head-on. Through proper sharing of ideas and functional partnerships, we can address them successfully.’’ he said. (NAN)
