The UN is the only organization that can bring together all relevant actors in the event of complex global shocks & have them work together to best effect. It is time to take decisions that strengthen its ability to do so.

Muslims around the world often face prejudice for no other reason than their faith. We must never be bystanders to bigotry. Let us counter the forces of division by reaffirming our common humanity & stamp out the poison of Islamophobia. https://t.co/5oArmtjGZc
