On World Fraternity Day UN chief calls for ‘alliance of peace’

KABUL (Pajhwok): the UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres on the Human Fraternity called for renewed commitment to forge an “alliance of peace” amid a surge in hate speech, sectarianism and strife.

On his Twitter handle the UN chief said: “We can all stand up for dialogue, interfaith harmony and mutual respect. This #HumanFraternityDay, let us commit to building an alliance of peace – rich in diversity, equal in dignity and rights, united in solidarity.”

The International Day of Human Fraternity celebrates the values that “are the glue that hold our human family together” – compassion, religious understanding, and mutual respect, Guterres said.
