KATHMANDU: UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has underlined the need to heal divisions and build peace.

In his message given on the occasion of International Human Rights Day today, he expressed worry over human rights facing assault.

“Tens of millions of people are mired in poverty, hunger, poor health and education systems that have not yet fully recovered from the COVID-19 pandemic,” he reminded.

According to him, all human rights are indivisible. “Whether economic, social, civic, cultural or political, when one right is undermined, all rights are undermined,” he underscored.

The global leader further stressed the collective need to tackle scourges of poverty and hunger, ensure health care and education for all.

Other issues the Secretary General emphasized in his message are justice and equality for women, girls and minorities; protection of democracy, press freedoms and workers’ rights; promotion of right to a safe, clean, healthy and sustainable environment; and defense of human rights defenders.

The message is shared on the UN web portal. The theme of the Day for this year is: ‘Our Rights, Our Future, Right Now.’
