The creation of the United Nations was the result of a global commitment to “save succeeding generations from the scourge of war."

When children grow up with constant criticism, they don’t stop loving their parents — they learn to stop loving themselves.
Consistent criticism doesn’t teach accountability; it teaches conditional love.
Love and forgiveness aren’t luxuries in parenting; they are the emotional necessities that build strong self-worth.
Research reminds us that caregiver responsiveness to childrens emotional needs remains the strongest predictor of psychological wellbeing.
Children don’t need flawless parents — they need to feel the certainty of parental love during emotional and behavioural correction.
Perfection isn’t what they crave; connection is. 💛

The world is changing at a radical rate:
Technology barrels ahead.
Climate chaos reigns.
Inequalities deepen.
We are moving towards a multipolar world, with global power in flux.
The solutions to these challenges lie in a networked, inclusive multilateralism.

One of my earliest memories has a precise date: 11 November 1975.
I remember my father's anger.
As I grew, I came to understand why.

To tackle #AntimicrobialResistance and shortages of antibiotics, we need to:
1. Increase R&D to fill the dry pipeline.
2. Reduce unnecessary antibiotic use in health care, agriculture and food production.
3. Expand regional and local production, particularly in lower-income countries.
