As we mark #UNDay 🇺🇳 this week, discover the original manuscript of the UN Charter’s Preamble, complete with handwritten notes. 81 years ago, 50 nations came together in San Francisco with a vision for peace, prosperity and human rights. A vision that endures today. ✍️

Repeated delays in bringing lifesaving medicines and other aid into #Gaza could have devastating consequences for Palestinians in need, says @WHO. “A truck full of non-priority supplies, or the right supplies arriving too late, doesn't save lives."

US President Donald Trump recently announced a ban on CNN, MS NOW, and Politico for White House coverage. When you attack the independent media, you undermine democracy. Access to information is a critical human right.

Peace is not simply the absence of war. It depends on the ability of societies to confront disagreement without violence, protect human rights and dignity, and keep dialogue open when tensions rise. Today, conflict, displacement, discrimination, hate speech, backsliding on rights and polarization are fracturing communities and eroding trust. On this #InternationalDayOfPeace, @UNESCO calls for greater investment in the institutions, skills and relationships that allow societies to address tensions before they turn into violence. unesco.org/en/days/peace?hub… #ForThePeople
